2024 Fantasy Outlook
It was never made especially easy for Jacobs during his five years in Oakland/Vegas, where he was subjected to poor blocking and/or poor quarterback play at most points but still ran for more than 800 yards each season. His arrival in Green Bay might look like a vacation in comparison, location aside. The Jordan Love-Matt LaFleur offense was one of the league's best by the end of 2023, and the Packers are returning four of five starters on their offensive line. It might be daunting to replace a beloved player like Aaron Jones, but Jacobs is younger, bigger and stronger, potentially opening the door for more success running between the tackles. A four-year, $48 million contract suggests Jacobs should stay busy for the Packers, even with AJ Dillon re-signed and MarShawn Lloyd drafted in the third round. Dillon's YPC average has dropped with each passing season -- all the way down to 3.4 last year -- while Lloyd is a talented runner but couldn't stop fumbling throughout his college career. As much as Jacobs would be hard-pressed to pursue another league rushing title like in 2022 when he ran for 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns, he's at least in good position to enjoy his second- or third-best season to date.

RANKS
Solid day against Rams
Jacobs rushed the ball 19 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams. He added one reception on one target for 21 yards.
ANALYSIS
Jacobs was utilized heavily throughout the game to reach 20 total touches for the second time this season. He turned in a mediocre effort from an efficiency perspective, with his longest gain of the day coming on a 21-yard reception that got the Packers deep into Rams territory on a touchdown drive. Jacobs also tallied his first touchdown of the campaign on a two-yard plunge to open the scoring in the contest. While his production has been sensitive to game script, Jacobs has shown a floor of at least 13 touches heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Cardinals.

2019
Jacobs was one of the pleasant surprises of the fantasy season in 2022, making the jump from good to great and dominating as a workhorse back in a way you don't often see. He averaged 4.9 yards on 340 carries to win the rushing crown with 1,653 yards, and he avoided missed games for the first time in his four-year pro career even under the heavy burden. That said, Jacobs didn't stay entirely healthy. He just didn't miss any games, playing through foot, calf, quadriceps and hip injuries at various points in 2022. It's great that Jacobs can play so well at less than 100 percent health, but it'd be more helpful yet if he could avoid the injuries entirely. Given his bruising style of play and career average of 20.5 touches per game, it's possible injuries will always be part of the package, but Jacobs is only 25 and is one of the few backs with potential for 300-plus carries and 50-plus catches. The new faces around him in Vegas hint at another season with a lot of short passes and Jacobs carries, as the Raiders swapped out QB Derek Carr for Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), WR Mack Hollins for Jakobi Meyers and TE Darren Waller for Austin Hooper / Michael Mayer -- not exactly an infusion of big-play ability.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Didn't want to join KC
Kansas City tried to sign Jacobs this offseason, but he did not consider their offer, Dan Pompei of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Though the Raiders didn't make an effort to re-sign Jacobs, he cited the rivalry between the two teams as a reason that he didn't accept an offer to sign with the defending Super Bowl champions. Jacobs also added that he didn't want to join a dominant team but instead help elevate another team, which he will try to do with a Green Bay franchise that hasn't played in a Super Bowl since 2010. He was reportedly pursued by several other squads, including the Bears, Broncos, Cardinals, Dolphins, Giants and Texans.
