Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Kyren Williams

Friday, November 22, 6:56 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (quadricep, calf) will suit up for the Packers in Week 12 after practicing in a limited fashion on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Jacobs was left off the injury report for their matchup with the San Francisco 49ers this week, and he could have some success against a 49ers' run defense that is much more susceptible. The 49ers are just 17th in EPA per rush attempt this season and since Week 6, have the second-highest missed-tackle rate since Week 6 and a middle-of-the-road success rate allowed (13th). Jacobs has been reliant on volume for the most part and that's been readily available to him this season in Green Bay. He'll be incredibly important for the Packers if they are to have success, so Jacobs could be in line for solid production as a back end RB1 for fantasy purposes.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a terrific season. He began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone at least once in the Rams' first seven contests. However, the 24-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown in his last three appearances. Granted, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp missing time this season, Williams had to be more involved. With that in mind, he's due to get back on track at some point. Until then, fantasy managers need to stay patient and keep him starting despite a challenging matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on the horizon for Week 12.
