Josh Jacobs

The Packers are expected to sign RB Josh Jacobs.

Fantasy Impact

The move will pair Josh Jacobs with Aaron Jones in the Packers’ backfield. This will definitely impact both of their fantasy values in 2024 as fantasy managers will likely have to wait to see how Matt LaFleur chooses to deploy both running backs.

A return to Las Vegas for Josh Jacobs is not considered off the table, according to a report from ESPN.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs had a down season with a career-low 3.5 yards per carry in 2023 while playing on the franchise tag. The Raiders opted not to apply it to Jacobs again, setting him up for free agency. If the Raiders don't bring him back, they could target another RB to pair with Zamir White, though a return could be on the table, which would be solid for Jacobs' fantasy value as head coach used him as a workhorse down the stretch in 2023.

The Raiders will attempt to re-sign free-agent-to-be running back Josh Jacobs, but they are not expected to tag him.

Fantasy Impact

The franchise tag would cost $14,149,200. The two sides attempted to agree to a long-term deal last offseason, but they weren't able to and Jacobs eventually held out of camp. Despite averaging a career-low 3.5 YPC, he should still draw plenty of interest in free agency.

Josh Jacobs (quad) will not play in Sunday's season finale.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs will miss his fourth consecutive game this Sunday, which effectively ends his fifth NFL campaign. The two-time Pro Bowler has rushed for just over 800 yards at 3.5 per attempts over 13 games. Jacobs has added 296 yards on 37 receptions.

Josh Jacobs remained sidelined from practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs opened the week missing back-to-back practices. If he is sidelined this weekend, Zamir White will once again lead the Raiders backfield in the season finale.
