RB1 Treatment for Josh Jacobs In Week 8

Friday, October 24, 4:52 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is off the injury report after three limited practice sessions, and he is good to go for the Packers' Week 8 matchup on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite Jacobs averaging just 3.7 yards per carry this season, he has tallied eight touchdowns on the ground and caught 16 passes for 179 yards through the air this season. He's been extremely productive and remains the engine of the Packers' offensive attack. Jacobs was a game-time decision in Green Bay's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but still touched the ball 14 times and scored twice. For fantasy, Jacobs is RB7 on the season and averages over 20 fantasy points per game, so we can't nitpick too much about the negatives as long as he's a dominant RB1 for fantasy. Jacobs is one of the best starts among fantasy running backs this week and should be locked into lineups when the Packers travel to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.
