The Green Bay Packers will visit the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Josh Jacobs.

Should You Start or Sit Josh Jacobs in Week 3?
From elusive rating to versatility, Josh Jacobs’ profile through two weeks doesn’t look as impressive as it did a year ago, but the raw volume (42 carries) is pretty hard to ignore and the 10-game scoring streak isn’t an accident.
As long as you think Green Bay is as good as they’ve looked through two weeks, Jacobs is a high-floor RB1. He ran for 15 touchdowns a season ago and if Jordan Love is going to continue threatening defenses down the field (aDOT up 42% from 2024), that might be on the low end of expectations.
Could the Jayden Reed (collarbone) injury open up two to three targets for Jacobs per game over the next two months? He doesn’t need it to return value on your investment, but it gives him a path to top-5 production moving forward.
