Josh Jacobs

NegativeValue0:32

The source suggests Josh Jacobs is a viable Best Ball target at his current DraftKings ADP of 130-140; despite the risk of a 6-10 game suspension or missing the entire season, the upside of him returning to play makes him a better value than other late-round options like Keaton Mitchell.

0:00I don't know how to assign percentages
0:01to this, but I think that like the range
0:03of outcomes seems to me like most likely
0:05is probably six to 10 games missed and
0:09then he plays the rest of the season.
0:10Like that's probably the most likely
0:12outcome.
0:13>> a with a but a serious little you want
0:17to you don't you're not done yet.
0:19>> [laughter]
0:19>> Yeah, yeah.
0:20>> There's also a chance he just never
0:21plays.
0:22>> Yeah, there's a chance he never never
0:23plays or like you also have to think of
0:26like that that gives Zamir White,
0:28whoever whatever other running backs you
0:30want to throw out there a chance to earn
0:32bigger roles and maybe Jacobs isn't
0:35coming back to that workhorse role he
0:37had in the past. Um so
0:41I have been drafting him. Again, this is
0:43like this is such a hard thing to like
0:45gauge.
0:46I've been drafting him in Draft Kings
0:48recently cuz I'm in Maine and Underdog
0:50is banned. On Draft Kings he does fall
0:53to like 130, 140.
0:56I've taken I think earliest I've taken
0:58him is like 125-ish,
1:01something in that range.
1:03I've been taking him in Best Ball. Um
1:06cuz I think the risk is worth it there
1:09once the guys that have like roles are
1:12gone, it's like, "Okay, you know, Keeton
1:14Mitchell who has a mysterious injury or
1:17Josh Jacobs at pick 135." And I'm like
1:20I'm taking Jacobs there even if he has a
1:22zero risk. So that's how I've been
1:24playing on Draft Kings in that range.
1:27>> In all honesty, it's been
1:29one where
1:31you know, I've been trying to dial it
1:32in. We've had a ton of discussions on
1:36what his risk should look like, you
1:38know, of each you know, cuz I tend to
1:40agree with you that
1:42it's probably six to 10 games if he gets
1:44straight up suspended or he kind of sits
1:46on the list and then like he could sit
1:48on the list for 10 weeks and then the
1:50plea gets sorted out, you know, at that
1:53court date and you know, that could
1:55happen ahead of the court date, whatever
1:56it is.
1:57And then he could get like kind of
1:59retroactively suspended
2:01uh and then return to play.
2:03And if that happens, then you're going
2:06to
2:07probably be pretty happy that you
2:08drafted him even well ahead of where
2:09you're saying. Like he I think you're
2:11going to be happy to have had him in the
2:13ninth round. Um if if that is how it
2:16plays out, but it's the risk of does he
2:18does he not play at all this year that's
2:20really going to hurt that team. There's
2:21no like there's no good place to take
2:23Jacobs if that's
2:25the way it plays out. And so how are you
2:27pricing that part of it? And I took him
2:29yesterday in the Spite Main um at the
2:3210:01.
2:34Um
2:35and then I took him in a 555, I think in
2:38the
2:39I think at the 9:01.
2:41Um
2:42but
2:43after that, I was kind of like
2:46uh
2:46like that I think that's probably a
2:48little too early.
