Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Daniel Jones

Monday, August 4, 12:23 PM

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs looked like the best player on the field at training camp the day he visited, and "his explosion suggests another heavy workload is coming." Jacobs had 301 carries in his first year in Green Bay in 2024 and has averaged 18.6 carries per game since 2022. Fowler doesn't see Jacobs' carries declining, and that could especially be true if MarShawn Lloyd (groin) cannot stay healthy. The 27-year-old's open-field cuts have looked really sharp this summer. If you decide to wait a little bit on your RB1 in fantasy drafts this year, Jacobs represents a high-floor, low-end RB1 target going into his second season with the Packers. The three-time Pro Bowler had 1,329 rushing yards and a career-best 15 touchdowns on 301 carries last year. He's still the centerpiece of this offense.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will draw the start under center for the second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The plan is for Jones to play a couple of series before heading to the bench for the rest of the game. Anthony Richardson Sr. will take over and will play the rest of the first half of Saturday's game. Richardson started the first preseason contest, but exited the game on the second drive due to a finger injury. The expectation is that these two quarterbacks will compete all preseason for the starting gig in Indy.
