Flock Fantasy on Josh Jacobs

Start vs. Carolina Thursday; target acquisition for win-now teams.

Josh Jacobs is recommended as a running back start against Carolina on Thursday night, positioned as the safer play over potential backfield-splitting concerns with other options. Charbonnet identifies Jacobs as a compelling acquisition target for a 2-5 team in win-now mode, recommending trading Waddle and Judkins to acquire Jacobs as a higher-tier running back option in a similar price range. Jacobs was acquired in a trade for Chase Brown and is positioned as one of two running backs that individually could be better than Chase Brown, making the trade a phenomenal deal for the receiving team. If Kalen Ballage plays, Jacobs should be played over D'Andre Swift.
