Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or De'Von Achane

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.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 16 times for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught four of his six targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Achane had his best rushing performance of the year, posting season-highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. His speed proved too challenging for Los Angeles' defense to slow down, and he padded his fantasy stats with some extra contributions in the passing game, too. Of course, it wasn't quite enough to get Miami the victory, as the Dolphins fell to 1-5 on the year. The good news for fantasy managers is that Achane has been able to remain a top-10 fantasy running back despite the Dolphins' struggles. He'll continue to be a mid-range RB1 for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.
