Should You Start or Sit Jacobs in Week 2?

It wasn’t pretty, but that’s kind of the brand, right?
Josh Jacobs isn’t Derrick Henry, but he’s not one of these modern-day, stop-what-you’re-doing-and-watch freak athletes that is in scoring position with every touch.
I’ll stop short of calling him a plodder because that sounds disrespectful, but he’s a hard-nosed running back in the perfect situation. There is no threat to him in terms of work in this backfield, and Jordan Love continues to develop, making this one of the 10 most feared offenses in the game.
Jacobs has now scored in nine straight games and just goes about his business every single week. He gained yardage on just 68.4% of his rushes against the Lions, the third worst game of his career (minimum 10 carries), but he still walked away with 14 PPR points and was a positive force for your team.
The Commanders bottled up Giants running backs last week, but make of that what you will. This is still a defense I have questions about up front, and Jacobs isn’t really the type of running back I’d want to try to tackle on a short week.
Jacobs is where Jacobs always is for me: a low-end RB1 with a high floor that I can count on.
