Fantasy Life Articles on Josh Jacobs

Jacobs faces Panthers' No. 2 worst RB defense with proven history; RB1 upside in matchup.

Jacobs posted an RB1 finish in his first game back (17.6 fantasy points, 91 yards, 1 TD on 11 carries, 7 targets, 84 Utilization Score), looking like the guy the Packers had in 2024-25 (2,882 yards, 30 TDs). Facing the Panthers, who are No. 2 in most fantasy points allowed to RBs (26.5), Jacobs has a strong matchup upgrade; he also had 18.0 fantasy points, 100 yards, 1 TD on 17 carries, 5 targets in his one game against them last year. The Packers have a boosted HFA (outside division, on grass vs. turf) and could be without C Sean Rhyan and RG Travis Glover, though the Panthers could be without EDGE Jaelan Phillips.
