Josh Jacobs Week 16 Outlook - Saints at Packers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 7:17am EST

Following Green Bay's Week 10 bye, running back Josh Jacobs has been the most consistent fantasy running back in the league. Jacobs has finished as a top-eight back in all five games while scoring the second-most fantasy points. Jacobs is in a prime spot to keep it up this week versus the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. New Orleans ranks 30th in DVOA and 28th in EPA against the run. The Packers are the biggest favorite on the Week 16 board, so they should have a positive game script. That would lend itself to even more touches and production out of Jacobs, making him a legitimate threat to lead all running backs in fantasy points this week.
