I dunno so now they're gonna run Jacobs into the ground until his wheels come off? Not sure that helps either GB or Jacobs.

In the FBG Bowl draft yesterday I was in the 8th slot and went WR/WR (ARSB & Nico) and got Jacobs at 3.08 and followed that up with Walker at 4.05. So I took both....hahaha

Changing teams may offer a sign of hope? Dunno. The author of this article was asked about that on twitter and he said that this study did not factor in changing teams, but that a different study showed that RBs changing teams did not get the results you might think.

Hahah yeah. It's really just taking the concept of "Volume is King" and further breaking it down weighing things like Red Zone volume more heavily. Then looking at who had the volume vs their fantasy output.

Not really. It's taking the average of all players opportunity including down and distance and then comparing each player to that average.
Yes Jacobs had a bad season in 2023. He was not efficient.
He also was coming off a season where he nearly 400 touches and historically RB see a decline in performance after having such high volume the following season except for Ricky Williams.
And it's not just a decline in volume ( duh) but efficiency.
Jacobs also played with a less competent QB in 2023 than he did in 2022.
Jacobs yards per touch fell from 5.2 in 2022 to 4.1in 2023. His career average is 4.7
It is possible that Jacobs never returns to his career average in ypt but this being his 6th season I wouldn't expect that yet.
Historically RB have their best seasons in year 1-6 and Jacobs still is inside that window in 2024.
I am all for aligning data into one number as was done here. It simplifies the difference between receptions and rushing attempts.
I am not for basing decisions only on only the previous season of data when there is more data to work with than that.

Further down the article he posts an updated table with career differential. It's not as bad as last year alone, but Jacobs still doesn't really measure up, and that's with his incredible (now looking to be an outlier) year. He's at -0.4 which is right along guys like Montgomery and Stevenson.
I mean, he'll get the volume and I dont think he will completely bust, but I also don't believe he will be worth the ADP he's going at. That's why I pass on him. He slips a round or two and I'd probably rethink.

The Raiders played pretty well in the latter half of last season. At least well enough to not deserve this hyperbole.

and if he runs like he's done through the preseason I think he'll retain a lot of touches even once Lloyd gets healthy (and with a hip and hamstring injury, and the fact they were considering IR-ing him until the Dillon injury, I think it might be a while).

Perhaps ironic that the Raiders beat the Packers last year, with Jacobs rushing for 69 yards on 20 carries and a td, almost identical to AJ Dillon's 70/20/1. Jacobs had 5 catches on five targets though, more than Devonte Adams who had 4/4.

All I really know is he looked pretty darn good last preseason, and then this preseason went 37 for 160 - 4.3 ypc and his hands looked solid too when targeted. Admittedly most of his value comes from Dillon being out for the season and Lloyd being banged up since camp, esp. with a hammy which can linger. Even as a workhorse, Jacobs isn't getting all the touches. Add in Love and all their receiving weapons, an average to slightly above average oline, I don't think he'll have that tough of sledding to put up good numbers at least the first month or so. Outside the top RBs, college pedigree and draft spot don't seem to matter much; least not as much as your availability and efficiency. And if he's doing well spelling Jacobs, why rush Lloyd back?Don't know much about Wilson. I'm a Jacobs owner and also a handcuffer. HmmmEmanuel Wilson
I'm targeting.
Clearly talented
Stays on the field
Performed at least 'pretty good' on what was most frequently a mediocre team.
Now on a team that looks explosive with the arrow pointing up.
Ranked RB 12 with a solid floor, and decent ceiling. I like him and R White to outperform.

Would rank Jacobs ahead of R. White for sure.
as usual, Lloyd is having issues staying on the field (don’t forget his proclivity to put the rock on the turf) and Wilson makes for a great add in deep leagues. He looked great in the pre-season and the Dillon injury paves the way for him to get some opps the first few weeks of year. We all know Dillon was awful and even though Lloyd has higher draft capital, Wilson knows the offense and def has more juice this year.All I really know is he looked pretty darn good last preseason, and then this preseason went 37 for 160 - 4.3 ypc and his hands looked solid too when targeted.

With no dominant WR and Tight Ends still developing, no back up running back pushing him, the first month of the season Jacobs is going to look like Don Quixote
-Jacobs said the Chiefs tried hard to sign him and he didn't want to go there, incredible to pass on the Chiefs but it shows that Reid thought he might have found a McCoy
15 games he starts
1,500 total yards
40-50+ catches with no real WR1 having emerged yet
And I'll give him about his average plus one or two in a better offense
8-10 TDs
He's a terrific RB or even an RB1 if you waited and loaded up on WR 1st couple rounds, don't think Jacobs is going to last very long
Pick 2 or Pick 3, I'd say Pick number one but you took CMC likely and will double dip at WR or go WR/TE or WR/QB on the 2/3 turn
Lamb/Hill in the 1st and then grab Jacobs around 2.10 coming back, this is a little easier to swing in a 10-team league but...
Hill-Jacobs-Nico Collins not a terrible way to start off, 2 receivers a solid RB to build around

So i had Drake London as my4th rd keeper and Breece Hall as my 5th rd keeper . I picked 6th, my strategy was pick the best wr with 1.6 to couple with London, amazingly Cee Dee Lamb fell to me due to the holdout. In the 2nd rd i needed a # 2 RB , i was targeting Etienne but he went 2 picks before my pick, there was Jacobs sitting there , it was the only choice at that spot , so hes my# 2 .Rounded out the draft with J.Hurts and TE Pitts . Jacobs will do well i believe , hes competitor, he loves playing football. A new team means renewed vigor and the need to prove hes worth what money they paid him, i see a stellar year from him on a team with many weapons to defend .

Depending how the draft unfolds, I've got the 2.07 pick, there is no way I let Jacobs fall to the Hill owner at 2.10.

Grabbed him on Thursday evening in a 12 team, 2 keeper league at 2.6 with only (2) players kept ahead of my pick. CMC, Barkley, Hill, JJ, LaPorta, Puka, Wilson, Kyren, Hall amongst those kept so pretty happy to have landed him there.

If Jacobs somehow is available at early 3rd round, would you take him? Or would you rather have Kenneth Walker III over Jacobs?
EBF
Footballguy
I got both of them in my league, but I took Jacobs higher. I expect the Pack to be a better offense than Seattle.
I think Jacobs is slightly better than Walker in a vacuum. He achieved a lot in Oakland/Vegas without much around him.
The other variable is that I think Lloyd has a much higher ceiling than Charbonnet. I suppose we could view that as a negative since it means he's a bigger threat to eat into the workload, but to me it just means the backup will have more value if Jacobs gets hurt. I'm sure Charbs will be very startable if Walker goes down, but to me Lloyd is much more dynamic.
Jacobs is stupidly ranked at #39 in ESPN...right in front of Walker at 40.
I'm considering Jacobs at 3.3. And I'm noticing in expert mocks now he's regularly going there now.

Jacobs is going to have a great year. People are overthinking this.
markrc99

Noted above perhaps, this metric doesn't gauge the quality of the looks for any given player. According to playerprofiler.com, on avg Jacobs faced 7.2 defenders in the box, which was the most of any RB last year! So, consistently the focal point of opposing defenses. Comparatively, while the tendency for Aaron Jones was lighter fronts, he was subject to heavier looks than the year before. True of both was a change at QB.
What may be relevant, with Jacobs, a high (QB) under-center rate the past two years. Much higher than that of Jones. The Packers could adapt but I think more likely is Jacobs being utilized differently. He's in a great spot.
Am I missing something on Jacobs here?
His price seems low for the expected volume, and scoring opportunities he will have this year. Has been on the Raiders his whole career, has the best QB he has had in his career, and is going to an explosive offense where he will have a lot of scoring opportunities. Also, he was in a contract disupte last year, which could have affected his efficiency numbers as he was holding out for a bit, and he is one year removed from a 400 carry season.
I am targeting him everywhere I can. Arrow is point up for me

Better team this year, better QB, and should have more scoring opportunities.
Dillon out for the season and Lloyd missing key time in preseason/camp with injury.
Jacobs has also been an RB1 3 times in his career with top 10 twice. He's done it before.
He's still only 26. As long as he is healthy he will be getting a healthy dose of touches.

I've owned Dillon in a deep keeper league for a while, waiting, hoping. Last year was Dillons worst year. I finally cut bait before this season and couldn't be happier. Dillon was never a threat. He's bad. I've been in on Jacobs for a while now - they went out to get a good RB once they decided to let Jones go. Wilson could be a decent change of pace guy and give Jacobs a bit of a break.Well, Lafluer is a big RBBC guy so if Dillon was there he'd be stealing some touches.Which is kinda silly since Dillon was never a threat to him to start with.You're not missing anything.

Curious to see what Lloyd does this year with his slow start due to injury.
GB wants to try to win their division this year and brought in a vet RB to lead their team. What will the splits be? Not sure but I'm leaning on Jacobs getting a 60-65% share of the carries and maybe more if the are in close games.

Barring injury, 17 games of Jacobs is gonna produce top 5 fantasy RB numbers. Imo
Ministry of Pain
Footballguy
He's absolutely in my Top 10-12 entering Week 1, I can see him finishing Top 5 if he can stay on the field and also make the most of his touches early in the season
I do think at some point that the packers will want to give him a breather or find somewhere they can keep him fresh if they make a Playoff run.
There is no definite Alpha at WR, quite frankly with the money they paid Love I'm surprised they didn't try and upgrade the fast way with a trade for a proven WR
Instead they went and upgraded at RB in their minds and also drafted a RB they intend to use as soon as he can show he's healthy and learn the playbook.
Jacobs knows how to pass protect for his QB, has a lot of game experience, that's hard for many of us sitting behind a keyboard to grasp vs the on field coaches
Big Nate
Footballguy
It is a possibility. He's done it before.
Some seem to forget Jacobs was a first round pick. The rushing leader in 2022.
Now he is on a better team than he was last year. Went off mid third round as RB12 in my draft last night. Fair deal/value IMO for someone who should be a top 12 RB again.

I had Jacobs that year too, he was a beast. Feels like folks are underrating the chance a very good offense means he will get big TD numbers. Mixon in a similar boat.

B Hall
C Olave
J Jacobs
I am happy with that start. He was the 11th RB taken at that point.

GB got Chris Brooks on their practice squad after Miami waived him injured with a concussion and perhaps another undisclosed injury suffered on the same play. Brooks flashed in the 2023 & 2024 preseason, and a few regular season games in 2023. He's a young thumper, who's been injury prone.
