2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
Coming off a career high 393 touches during an MVP worthy 2022 season, Jacobs struggled mightily last season. His yards-per-carry average dropped precipitously (4.9 in 2022 to 3.5 in 2023) and he missed four games due to injury. He's got a ton of wear on his tires (nearly 1,500 total touches in five seasons), and the contract he signed with Green Bay reflects the concerns about his long-term durability. The four-year $48 million dollar deal is essentially a one-year $14.8-million-dollar pact, as the remaining three years are not guaranteed. The hope is that last season's breakdown is not a sign of things to come, but the Pack have hedged their bet.

I do think this a strong schematic fit, as the zone blocking scheme, and multiple threats in the passing game should give Jacobs much more room to operate than he had in Vegas. While not the home-run hitter Aaron Jones was, Jacobs has receiving chops (two 50+ catch seasons) and should be a solid upgrade at the goal line. Green Bay is going to remain a pass first offense, but expect Jacobs to reach 1,000 yards on the ground, and he should be able to push for double-digit touchdowns in such an efficient offense. With only AJ Dillon and rookie 3rd rounder MarShawn Lloyd behind him, Jacobs will be the uncontested starter, and with health, could finish as a low-end RB1 that you can probably get for a RB2 price.

Injury MarShawn Lloyd goes on injured reserve
Suffered ankle injury in Week 2
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 17, 5:25 pm

Packers are placing rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. (KPRC - Aaron Wilson)

FFToday's Take: This is quickly turning into a lost season for Lloyd, who missed most of camp with a hamstring injury before making his NFL debut in Week 2. The rookie will be sidelined for at least four games, which may be enough time for Emanuel Wilson to stake his claim to the backup job for the rest of the season. If not, Chris Brooks has shown enough in limited NFL work to do so. Lloyd's IR stint should further solidify Josh Jacobs as a bellcow runner in Green Bay.


Injury Marshawn Lloyd likely to begin season on IR
Rookie suffered hamstring injury in preseason debut
By: Doug Orth | Mon Aug 26, 11:00 pm

Green Bay Packers
Rookie Marshawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to start the season on IR -- they can do that now without missing 2024. (Peter Bukowski on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: Lloyd's likely absence leaves only AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson behind Josh Jacobs, who should begin the season in a featured role. Considering Lloyd was anything but a featured back in his college days and how little Dillon has relatively done as a pro, it would be a shock if Jacobs did not end up playing at least 60 percent of the snaps most weeks. What it all means is that Jacobs is probably a very good low-end RB1 option who is typically coming off the board in the fourth round.
