From the article

Jacobs was the RB1 overall in usage last week after being the RB5 in expected half PPR points in his debut. He's averaging 18.9 half PPR points on 23.4 expected, essentially trading a couple of runs for a couple of targets in this more pass-heavy Packers offense. That's a great trade-off in fantasy. For context, the Packers had a 46% neutral pass rate in 2024-25 versus a 56% rate this year.

Jacobs' elite usage in a pass-heavy Packers offense is a great fantasy trade-off.

Green Bay can't trust MarShawn Lloyd in protection or to hit the right hole, so they'll live with whatever Jacobs can produce.
