Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. Adding to that total in his game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, Jacobs put up 107 yards from scrimmage with five receptions and a rushing score. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard rushing game this season and has averaged just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the only thing that's consistently worked this season for Green Bay. Against the New York Giants, who are dead last in the NFL in defensive EPA per carry, Jacobs is a no-brainer RB1 lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs recorded 21 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches (six targets) for 33 yards in Monday night's 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an ugly offensive performance for both teams, and Jacobs had another inefficient outing on the ground. The 27-year-old is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry this season, which would be the second-lowest in a season for his career. Jacobs continues to be a touchdown machine, however, scoring for the sixth consecutive game. His 11 touchdowns are second only to Colts superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. Jacobs' fantasy production continues to rely heavily on volume, and it was encouraging to see his involvement in the passing game, as his five catches matched a season high. Jacobs will remain a solid RB1 for Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (not injury-related) is off this week's injury report and good to go as the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Jacobs has been scoring touchdowns at will this season, with eight touchdowns in his last five games. That touchdown volume has helped buoy some of Jacobs' lack of efficiency on a per-rush basis this season. He's been a top-20 fantasy running back every week this season but Week 2, where he was RB21. Jacobs has been a bit banged up lately with a nagging calf injury, but that hasn't stopped him from playing. His workload has been a bit more managed with backups Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks seeing some touches in recent weeks, but as long as Jacobs is getting the red-zone touches, everything is great. It's a tough matchup at home against the Eagles' defensive front, but lock in Jacobs as an RB1 this week.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury in recent weeks, but he looked fully healthy in the Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Jacobs led the backfield with 17 carries for 87 yards (5.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown, scoring for the fifth straight week and for the 10th time on the ground in eight games. Green Bay's loss to the Cleveland Browns back on Sept. 21 was the only time in 2025 so far in which Jacobs has not scored a rushing TD. In the last five games, the veteran back has 354 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. He also caught four of his five targets in the passing game for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Carolina. Jacobs has gone over 100 scrimmage yards in three straight games. Despite a tough upcoming matchup in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs will remain a must-start RB in fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) has practiced in a limited capacity all week, but is off the injury report and good to go for the Packers as they host the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Jacobs has averaged just 3.6 yards per carry this season, but has scored nine touchdowns in seven games to help balance things out. With Jacobs being banged up over the last few weeks, backup running back Emanuel Wilson has helped to shoulder some of the rushing load. Still, Jacobs has been taking fewer opportunities for the Packers, but is making it work. After the Panthers' run defense allowed 215 rushing yards from Buffalo's James Cook in Week 8, Jacobs' fantasy managers have to be salivating at this upcoming matchup. Lock Jacobs in as an RB1 in fantasy lineups against Carolina this week.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) continues to deal with a calf injury and was limited again during Thursday's practice, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs has played through a calf injury each of the last two weeks, although he's had his two lowest snap rates in those games at just over 50%. The 27-year-old had only 33 rushing yards on 13 carries in the Sunday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he also found the end zone on the ground for the fourth straight week. While Jacobs hasn't gone over 100 yards in a game yet in 2025, he's been money for fantasy managers with nine rushing touchdowns in seven games played. The only game in which he didn't find the end zone was on Sept. 21 in the upset loss to the Cleveland Browns. Jacobs should be active this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, where he'll be a touchdown-dependent midrange RB1 in fantasy.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is the second week in a row that Jacobs has dealt with this lingering calf issue. He was able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jacobs struggled on the ground as he rushed for 33 yards on 13 attempts, but did find the end zone. Barring any setbacks, Jacobs figures to be ready to go for the Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Despite a sluggish game last weekend, Jacobs needs to be plugged in as a RB1.
Oct 29, 2025 8:19 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is off the injury report after three limited practice sessions, and he is good to go for the Packers' Week 8 matchup on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite Jacobs averaging just 3.7 yards per carry this season, he has tallied eight touchdowns on the ground and caught 16 passes for 179 yards through the air this season. He's been extremely productive and remains the engine of the Packers' offensive attack. Jacobs was a game-time decision in Green Bay's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but still touched the ball 14 times and scored twice. For fantasy, Jacobs is RB7 on the season and averages over 20 fantasy points per game, so we can't nitpick too much about the negatives as long as he's a dominant RB1 for fantasy. Jacobs is one of the best starts among fantasy running backs this week and should be locked into lineups when the Packers travel to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was limited in practice for a second straight day this week on Thursday with a calf injury, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs popped up on Green Bay's injury report last week with an illness and a calf injury and was listed as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. He ultimately suited up and scored two rushing touchdowns for the third straight week, but he also played a season-low 55% of the offensive snaps while running for 55 yards on a season-low 13 rushing attempts. It's possible that Jacobs could be questionable again heading into Sunday night's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8 if he doesn't upgrade to a full practice on Friday, but it feels likely that he'll end up playing this weekend, barring a setback. The Packers are most likely trying to keep Jacobs fresh for Sunday night's primetime game, where he'll be a must-start RB in fantasy if he's active.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is still on the team's injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday as he works his way through a calf injury, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs was under the weather last week and then popped up with a calf injury that made him questionable to play in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old ultimately was cleared to play and scored two touchdowns on the ground for the third straight week. However, he did play a season-low 55% of the offensive snaps and was inefficient with his 14 total touches, accounting for 58 scrimmage yards. Jacobs should be able to play on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8 unless he suffers a setback with his calf later this week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting another two-touchdown performance, but Jacobs is a no-doubt, must-start fantasy RB in Green Bay as long as he's active.
Oct 22, 2025 7:24 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was on the injury report with an illness and a calf injury in Week 7 and was a true game-time decision for the Packers in their game against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite those ailments, Jacobs still put up 58 yards from scrimmage and scored two touchdowns in the Packers' win over Arizona. Despite Jacobs averaging just 3.7 yards per carry this season, he's scored eight touchdowns on the ground and caught 16 passes for 179 yards through the air this season to help balance out the lack of efficiency on the ground. Jacobs is currently the RB7 on the season, averaging over 20 fantasy points per game, so we can't nitpick too much as long as he's a dominant RB1 for fantasy. The Packers face the Steelers in Week 8, where Jacobs remains locked in as a fantasy RB1.
Oct 21, 2025 2:14 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs came into Sunday's Week 7 game versus the Arizona Cardinals with a questionable tag thanks to a calf injury that popped up late in the week. Jacobs tested his calf during pre-game warmups and was cleared to play. The 27-year-old had a modest 13 rushing attempts on the day in the 27-23 victory for 55 yards, but he was able to salvage his day for his fantasy managers by scoring two touchdowns. Jacobs caught his only target in the passing game for three yards. Perhaps he was a bit limited by his calf injury, as his 13 carries were a season low, but it didn't stop Jacobs from scoring on the ground twice for the third straight game. Jacobs now has eight trips to the end zone on the ground in 2025, with the Sept. 21 game against the Cleveland Browns being the only game that he hasn't found paydirt for Green Bay. He won't have the best of matchups next Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, but Jacobs' volume alone and nose for the end zone make him a pretty safe RB2.
Oct 20, 2025 12:29 AM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) will suit up for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport. Jacobs was a game-time decision coming into this one due to multiple issues. Despite that, Jacobs is feeling good enough to play, which is great news for fantasy managers. Jacobs is coming off a two-touchdown game last week and should be plugged in as an RB1. Emanuel Wilson should resume his duties as the backup, so there won't be much streaming appeal for him with Jacobs active now.
Oct 19, 2025 3:06 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) was seen testing out his calf on the field ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Jacobs is viewed as a legitimate game-time decision for this contest. The plan is for the doctors to evaluate Jacobs after warmups to determine if he'll play in this game. If he sits, Emanuel Wilson would likely be in line to start this game. He would be worth a look as a streaming option if Jacobs is unable to play. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to the 4:25 ET kickoff before knowing more about Jacobs.
Oct 19, 2025 2:22 PM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is considered "a true game-time decision" for the week 7 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. He's still listed as questionable. However, Schefter added that the team won't know if the veteran can suit up until Sunday. Jacobs has played well throughout the 2025 campaign, amassing 359 yards and six touchdowns off 98 carries while catching 15 passes for 176 yards. Without question, his absence would be a tough blow for fantasy managers. If that's the case, Emanuel Wilson will be in line for more work and should draw streaming interest for the favorable matchup versus Arizona.
Oct 18, 2025 10:08 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is now listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Cardinals, according to Zach Kruse of the Packers Wire. Jacobs was previously listed on the injury report with an illness and had been limited, but now looks to be dealing with a calf injury despite being upgraded to a full practice on Friday. His status for Sunday is to be determined, but he should be all good to go for Sunday, barring something unforeseen. Jacobs has erupted over the last two weeks, totaling 307 yards and scoring four touchdowns. He's lined up to crush again in Week 7 against a Cardinals defense that is allowing the ninth most PPR points per game to opposing running backs.
Oct 17, 2025 4:40 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (illness) was limited in practice again on Thursday as he works toward being cleared for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Jacobs has handled a heavy workload this season, logging 98 carries for 359 yards and six touchdowns while averaging 3.7 yards per attempt. Although his efficiency has dipped compared to his Pro Bowl 2024 campaign, Jacobs remains the clear lead back in Green Bay's offense, handling the vast majority of touches out of the backfield. The Cardinals present a middle-of-the-pack matchup, allowing 102 rushing yards per game, which ranks 13th in the NFL. Assuming Jacobs suits up, he should continue to see volume-driven RB2 production, though fantasy managers may want to temper expectations if his illness limits his workload heading into Sunday.
Oct 16, 2025 7:57 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (illness) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like Jacobs was feeling under the weather so the team decided to limit him on Wednesday. This shouldn't be something that impacts his status for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. For now, Jacobs is considered day-to-day and should return to full practice in a day or two. After a slow start, Jacobs has turned it on with four total touchdowns and over 85 rushing yards in each of his last two games. He's a must-start RB1 against the Cardinals in Week 7.
Oct 15, 2025 9:06 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a monster contributor for the Packers this season and is looking like not just one of the best running backs in fantasy, but in the NFL as well. Finishing RB2 in Week 4 and RB3 in Week 6, Jacobs has put together two straight weeks of 30 or more fantasy points. What has been the difference? Well, Jacobs has gotten into the end zone twice on the ground on an excellent 4.5 yards per carry. What's helping him achieve this upside is the receiving aspect of Jacobs' game. Over the last three contests, Jacobs has averaged six targets, five receptions, and 57 receiving yards per game, which takes a good fantasy running back and makes him great. Against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, lock Jacobs in as a top-end fantasy RB1.
Oct 14, 2025 6:47 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs carried the ball 18 times for 93 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught all five of his targets for an additional 57 receiving yards. Jacobs now has four rushing touchdowns over his last two games, taking advantage of favorable matchups and showcasing his ability to succeed around the goal line. He also has a total of 14 catches and 172 receiving yards over his last three contests. Jacobs' contributions in the passing game have been quite refreshing after he saw just one target over the first two weeks of the season. Between his pass-catching role and scoring tendencies, Jacobs has re-solidified himself as a solid RB1 option. Fantasy managers should get excited about his favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.
