GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New Orleans Saints
Josh Jacobs is continuing his run as possibly the most valuable fantasy commodity of the season, given his ADP and production. He had an incredible 30 (!!) opportunities in Week 15, making it 121 —or, 24.2 per game— since the team's Week 10 bye. Now he'll get a Saints run defense that ranks 31st in RB aFPA. There's really nothing more to say here; start him everywhere.

GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 @ Seattle Seahawks
Josh Jacobs had another bellcow-type performance in Week 14, turning 18 carries into a decent 66 yards but finding the end zone three times. This was Jacobs' third multi-score game and his second time hitting the hat trick in what continues to be a fantastic season. All of that production came against a Lions defense that ranks 2nd in RB aFPA, and now he gets a Seahawks defense that ranks 21st. Fire Jacobs up everywhere as an RB1 as the team continues to lean on him.

GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 @ Detroit Lions
Josh Jacobs is the absolute engine in this Green Bay offense, something that seemed unlikely due to his wear-and-tear and the way the Packers passing game looked to finish the 2023 season. Jacobs' floor feels like 20+ opportunities on a week-to-week basis, which gives him an incredible low-end outcome, while his five touchdowns in the last three weeks give us a peek at what his ceiling is. The Lions rank a respectable 10th in RB aFPA, but that's not nearly enough to knock him out of RB1 consideration.

GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Miami Dolphins
Josh Jacobs is the absolute engine in this Green Bay offense, something that seemed unlikely due to his wear-and-tear and the way the Packers passing game looked to finish the 2023 season. Jacobs' floor feels like 20+ opportunities on a week-to-week basis, which gives him an incredible low-end outcome, while his three touchdowns in Week 12 give us a peek at what his ceiling is. The Dolphins have operated as a bit of a run-funnel this season, making Jacobs an easy click as an RB1 in Week 13.

GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. San Francisco 49ers
Even with the offense falling off a bit with Malik Willis at the helm earlier in the year, Josh Jacobs has hit at least 15 opportunities in all ten Packers games, giving him a fantastic floor, paired with a great ceiling in softer matchups. This could very well be one of those "softer" matchups against a 49ers defense that ranks 20th in aFPA. Consider Jacobs a low-end RB1 in Week 12.

GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 @ Chicago Bears
Even with the offense falling off a bit with Malik Willis at the helm earlier in the year, Josh Jacobs has hit at least 15 opportunities in all nine Packers game, giving him a fantastic floor, paired with a great ceiling in softer matchups. This could very well be one of those "softer" matchups against a Bears defense that ranks 23rd in aFPA. Consider Jacobs a high-end RB2 in Week 11.

GB RB Josh Jacobs - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions
Josh Jacobs continues to be the grinder in this offense, keeping the defense honest by employing the ground game to open things up through the air. His floor/ceiling combination is one of the most steady in the league, and he has RB1 potential any time he finds the end zone. The Lions rush defense should make things a little harder this week, but if he's getting 15-20+ opportunities, he's still an easy click as an RB2.
