Really like this match up for Josh Jacobs. The Carolina Panthers... Carolina Panthers have been really bad against the run... they've given up over 200 yards to running backs in both those games... Josh Jacobs is like probably better than running back 14... Josh Jacobs RB14 after his first game back getting, you know, top five workload at the position. Um, yeah, I would start him with confidence as, you know, this is one of the best spots he's gonna get for a while. Uh, as as a low-end RB1 at worst.
STACKED’s take
Jacobs faces worst run defense; start with confidence as low-end RB1
The source identifies Josh Jacobs as having one of the best matchups available against the Carolina Panthers, who have the worst run defense in football, giving up the most rushing fantasy points per game, highest yards per carry at 5.21, and highest rushing yards over expectation per carry. The Packers are favored at home and expected to lean heavily into the run game, particularly given the Panthers' vulnerability when trailing in games like Chicago and Tampa Bay, where they gave up over 200 yards to running backs. Jacobs is RB14 after his first game back from injury, receiving a top-five workload at the position. The source recommends starting him with confidence as a low-end RB1 at worst and suggests playing props on him for added value. However, in his first game back, all production came through the air (five catches, 55 yards and a touchdown) with only 3.3 yards per carry on the ground, highlighting a concern about the Packers' struggling running game and offensive line—but the Panthers' historically poor run defense presents an opportunity for Jacobs to establish ground game production he hasn't yet demonstrated in his return.
