From the episode

I am not viewing him as a savior. I am not viewing him as, um, he's going to come back and be an RB one. I think he's going to be an RB two... I think he's going to be not stylistically similar, but similar to like Bucky Irving... Yeah. Take trace Brown in a heartbeat over him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jacobs projected as RB2 with slow start; source prefers Chase Brown in trade.

The source expects Jacobs to get off to a slow start upon his return and projects him as an RB2, not an RB1, comparing his fantasy outlook to Bucky Irving (around RB15). Despite good usage, the source notes he will likely have inconsistent weeks and is considering him a trade candidate, preferring Chase Brown in a heartbeat over him in half-PPR formats.
