STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jacobs (RB7 last week) should have another strong game against Carolina's weak run defense.

In his first game back last week, Jacobs was RB7 in fantasy scoring with 16 touches (11 carries, 5 receptions), 91 total yards, 53.8% snap share, 57.9% rushing workload, 43.5% route share, 15.6% target share, 11.1% explosive run rate, 1.45 yards after contact per attempt, and 9% missed tackle rate. The source notes these aren't amazing numbers outside the explosive run rate, but it's a one-game sample. Jacobs should have another strong game this week against Carolina, which since Week 3 has allowed the 10th-highest explosive run rate, 8th-highest rushing success rate, and 7th-most yards after contact per attempt.
