Josh Jacobs 2025 Fantasy Preview
| Josh Jacobs | RB - Green Bay Packers | Bye:5 |
| Age: 27 | HT: 5-10 | WT: 223 |
2024: Overshadowed by Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry in a loaded running back free agent class, Jacobs bounced all the way back from his down 2023 in his new home. His 1,329 yards rushing were the sixth-most in the league and second-most of his underrated career. Although his 36 receptions were a good-not-great total for a running back, Jacobs paired them with 16 total touchdowns and solid efficiency marks.
What’s changed: Jacobs’ backups remain amongst the weakest in the league, though 2024 third-rounder MarShawn Lloyd is now healthy as he seeks a do-over on his lost rookie campaign. In theory, Lloyd could eventually earn more than mere breather touches. Emanuel Wilson remains the favorite for No. 2 duties.
2025 Outlook: Jacobs’ snap percentage was way down last season, but it won’t fall further in 2025. He’s the clear lead back in a run-friendly system, and will not lack for touchdown opportunities. An “eat your vegetables” RB1 in 2024, Jacobs remains so for 2025.
