Jacobs has been among the league's best rushers over the last five years. His 92.9 PFF rushing grade since 2019 ranks fourth among running backs, behind only Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry and Tony Pollard. He’s also forced 295 tackles as a runner, which leads all players at the position.
In Jacobs' last five years with the Raiders, the only other running backs with over 100 carries were Zamir White and DeAndre Washington. Green Bay has A.J. Dillon, who has held a similar role to Jacobs in the past, and they added MarShawn Lloyd in the third round of the draft. Jacobs has spoken about not having goals and focused more on his health and legacy, which also points to Jacobs getting the ball less often than usual.
Josh Jacobs is guaranteed to handle fewer carries per game in Green Bay than he ever did with Las Vegas. However, he should see more targets, and targets are more valuable for fantasy production. There is still a lot of uncertainty about how running back snaps will get distributed in Green Bay. A top-five season is within the realm of possibilities if he takes the Aaron Jones role and thrives, but it’s also possible that MarShawn Lloyd outshines him and Jacobs is a bust.
