From the article

Jacobs was the RB11 on RB5 usage in his 2026 debut, while splitting the early-down rushing work with MarShawn Lloyd and posting far more receiving work (5-55-1) than he typically does. He had a highlight broken tackle on the sideline and looked like the best back on the team by far. We'll see if Lloyd can keep this split role long term, but in general, swapping five carries for five receptions is elite business in fantasy football.

Jacobs' elite receiving work (5-55-1) elevates his fantasy profile.

Jacobs was the RB11 on RB5 usage in his 2026 debut, splitting early-down rushing work with MarShawn Lloyd while posting far more receiving work (5-55-1) than he typically does. He had a highlight broken tackle on the sideline and looked like the best back on the team by far. Swapping five carries for five receptions is elite business in fantasy football. He projects 79.5 total yards against Carolina, which allows 26.7 half PPR points per game to opposing backfields (second most).
