Josh Jacobs Week 8 Outlook - Packers at Jaguars

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Jacobs has been a solid RB2 as the RB24 in fantasy points per game. He has averaged 19.4 touches and 93.8 total yards per game. Among 68 qualifying backs, he ranks 28th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs ranks 19th in opportunity share, sixth in weighted opportunities, and 12th in red zone touches. Jacobs will sadly be running into brick walls this week. He'll need all the volume and touchdown equity he can get to pay off for fantasy. Jacksonville has allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
