From the article

Josh Jacobs expected back this week because Green Bay's running backs have also been poor... Last year, Jacobs actually ranked 33rd out of 35 running backs in EPA/rush, so he is not the savior Packers fans are hoping for.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jacobs' return won't fix Packers' rushing woes; ranked 33rd in EPA/rush last year.

Packers RB expected to return this week; while his return could improve Green Bay's poor rushing attack (32nd in yards per carry at 2.9, 32nd in rush EPA at -0.299), Jacobs ranked 33rd out of 35 running backs in EPA/rush last year and is not the savior Packers fans hope for. Systemic offensive line issues (31st in run-blocking grade) limit his upside.
