Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Brian Robinson Jr.

Sunday, October 12, 8:08 PM

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been unable to produce much of anything in the team's Christian McCaffrey-powered offense. Injuries to starters Brock Purdy (toe), Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs), and George Kittle (hamstring) have led to McCaffrey seeing snap shares north of 85% in each of the last three weeks. Even with the 49ers piling as much on McCaffrey's plate as he can handle, very little is being asked of Robinson in the way of relieving the star. Robinson has a snap share of 13% going back to Week 3, and has handled 12 carries in the same span with zero targets. Robinson can't be started in fantasy lineups but is worth a bench stash. If the 49ers' injury bug comes for McCaffrey, Robinson will take over as the team's feature back.
