Can Josh Jacobs Move His Regular Season Rushing TD Streak to 11 Games?

Tuesday, September 16, 12:31 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a beacon of consistency for the Packers, as he's been a touchdown-scoring machine since Week 10 of last season. Jacobs is currently on a 10-game streak in which he has scored a rushing touchdown in the regular season. Jacobs' efficiency has waned a little bit this season, as he's averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, but he has had at least 20 opportunities in both games, so we can hardly argue with the volume Jacobs is getting in the first two games of 2025. The Browns have been very stout against opposing rushers this season, holding Chase Brown to 2.0 YPC in Week 1 and holding Derrick Henry to just 23 yards on 11 carries in Week 2. Still, Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 for fantasy managers against Cleveland in Week 3.

Kyren Williams to See a Decreased Role?

Tuesday, September 16, 9:07 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams could be headed for more of a timeshare with second-year running back Blake Corum, according to coach Sean McVay. McVay said that an ideal split would be about "a 65/35 ratio for those guys. I think you want Kyren playing about two-thirds of the time, and Blake playing the other third." Williams played 80% of the team's snaps in Week 1 and 70% in Week 2 while Corum's workload increased. Williams had 66 yards and no touchdowns on 17 carries and added two catches for 14 yards, while Corum had five carries for 44 yards and a touchdown. Williams still seems to be the clear option in passing situations, but Corum's role could cut into his role as the featured back if McVay sticks to this plan. This kind of timeshare split would be a big hit to Williams' value and make Corum a great grab off the waiver wire going into the team's big Week 3 matchup against the Eagles.
