Josh Jacobs

PositiveProjection0:00

Josh Jacobs is projected to face a suspension of approximately six games based on the precedent set by the Jabrill Peppers case. Consequently, his draft ranking has been downgraded to RB28, placing him behind players like Rhamondre Stevenson and Jaylen Warren. The recommendation is to wait until the 70s or 80s in drafts, though a further drop would make him a 'buy the dip' candidate.

MarShawn Lloyd has established himself as the clear RB2 in camp and is expected to be the primary beneficiary if Josh Jacobs misses time. He is ranked inside the top 100 overall and is projected to be a top 20-ish running back while Jacobs is sidelined. He is currently being drafted in the same range as Blake Corum and Jonathan Brooks.

0:00Josh Jacobs' commissioner's exempt list.
0:01I think this list is going to end up
0:02being about a six-ish game suspension.
0:05Huge error bars on this one. It's the
0:06wild, wild west, but if I looked at the
0:08Jabrill Peppers case and I kind of apply
0:10it to the Josh Jacobs, there's some
0:12similarities. In that Jabrill Peppers
0:13case back in 2024, he was on the exempt
0:16list for seven games. He was taken off
0:18of it afterwards because the baseline is
0:21about six games. The NFL doesn't think
0:22it's
0:23fair to have a player not play games for
0:26longer than what's set up by the
0:29the personal conduct policy.
0:31So, they took him off even though that
0:32his court case was not settled yet. So,
0:34I think that's what's going to happen
0:35here with Josh Jacobs. He's my RB 28th
0:39now in drafts. I have him after like the
0:41Rhamondre Stevenson and Jaylen Warren
0:42types. And then for Marhsawn Lloyd, he's
0:44been the clear RB2 in camp. They're
0:47going to add Caleb Johnson. He'll He'll
0:49probably be active along with Chris
0:51Brooks. I think Marhsawn Lloyd, he's
0:52going to be the first one up. He'll be
0:54in my top 20-ish
0:56for as long as Jacobs is
0:59not out there. I think that's going to
1:00happen the first six-ish games of the
1:02season. I got Marhsawn Lloyd just inside
1:05the top 100. He goes kind of by Blake
1:07Corum, Jonathan Brooks, like those types
1:09that we're hoping could be a RB2 for
1:13portions of the season. So,
1:16we'll see if Jacobs falls further than
1:18that. If he does, I think I would be
1:19buying the dip, but for now, I would
1:21wait until like the 70s, 80s for Josh
1:24Jacobs.
