The Green Bay Packers (2-1) will visit the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) in Week 4. 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 4?
There are two ways to look at Josh Jacobs and his production through three weeks.
If you’re a glass half empty type, you’re sweating the lack of efficiency (3.1 YPC) and wondering why the usage in the passing game is all over the place.
Glass half full types are noting that, despite the early-season struggles, Jacobs hasn’t finished a week worse than RB21 this season and that if that is the worst-case scenario, we are OK.
I lean the latter, but certainly understand the former.
Jacobs doesn’t have a run picking up more than 10 yards in consecutive weeks (39 attempts) and has struggled to get into space.
That said, 64 touches is something that most fantasy teams would be thrilled with, especially when tethered to a team we think has the potential to represent the NFC in the big game this season.
This is a great spot for Jacobs to shine and remind us all of his strong showing in 2021. He has no competition for work and is a player that figures to get stronger as the season goes on.
Sit tight.
