Josh Jacobs Week 17 Outlook - Packers at Vikings

It felt like some meat was left on the bone last week when it came to Josh Jacobs. Jacobs had 85 total yards and a touchdown through Green Bay's first two drives against the New Orleans Saints. However, with the Packers taking control of the game early, they decided not to overwork their top running back as the game progressed. Jacobs carried the ball 13 times after registering at least 18 carries in five straight games before Monday's win. Green Bay faces division rival Minnesota in Week 17. Though the matchup is daunting, the volume should be enough to boost Jacobs into RB1 territory this week.
