Should You Start or Sit Jacobs in Week 11?
The Packers noted that Josh Jacobs was past his lingering calf issue ahead of Monday Night Football last week, and their usage of their star running back confirms as much (21 of Green Bay’s 22 running back carries in the 10-7 loss to the Eagles).
The offense struggled for much of the night, but even in a game like that, Jacobs gets his multiple red zone touches (something he’s done in every game this season) and scores (six straight games with a touchdown after his 11-game streak was snapped in Week 3).
At 3.8 yards per carry, we aren’t talking about the most efficient runner on the planet, but that’s kind of the story of 2025 at the running back position. He’s caught at least three passes in six of his past seven games, positioning himself as a script-agnostic running back that you can count on for low-end RB1 numbers every single week.
He’s been a top-10 running back in four of five games since the bye, and with the Giants getting decimated by the past two top-flight running backs they’ve faced (Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey both cleared 30 PPR points against them), Jacobs is in position to post a big week and could be the answer to a loaded RB slate in DFS.
