Jacobs carries 43 touches through two games, the Packers top back by far, signaling a heavy workload and fantasy relevance even in a crowded backfield.

Jacobs kept GB’s defense honest with 84 rushing yards and a TD on 23 carries, maintaining a nine-game rushing-TD streak that stacks history with the trait. In a GB offense that leaned on balance, his contribution helped sustain a gritty fantasy floor even as the TE room carried the load.

Jacobs carries a 80.5 rushing-yard line that may underperform in this matchup given WAS’ run defense strength. Since 2024, Jacobs has rarely cleared 80 yards, making the under a reasonable lean as GB faces a stout front.

Jacobs, the focal point of Green Bay’s offense, should see heavy volume against a run defense that slipped last season but has shown signs of improvement. If Green Bay establishes the ground game, Jacobs’ fantasy upside rises, with Washington’s defense tested by a strong rushing plan.

Jacobs projects as a high-volume Week 2 RB2 in the GB game, given Week 1 workload and likely 18-22 touches with goal-line opportunities. The Packers’ defense against the run remains a manageable matchup in the right game flow, making Jacobs a solid play in standard formats and a strong target in DFS stacks.
