Josh Jacobs 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: A Workhorse Back With Plenty of Upside
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs exceeded all expectations in his first season with the team. After signing a four-year deal with the Packers during the 2024 offseason, the team leaned on him in the running game throughout the season. Jacobs ran 301 times for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns across 17 games. He was also a factor in the passing game after catching 36 passes for 342 yards and one touchdown. All that made the 27-year-old one of the best fantasy running backs in 2024. He finished as the RB6 in PPR formats and averaged 17.2 PPR fantasy points per game. Jacobs also had a stretch from Week 7 to Week 16, where he scored above 20 PPR fantasy points in eight of nine games. As a result, Jacobs will remain a strong RB1 option for fantasy managers in 2025. While some touchdown regression could be coming following a career-high 16 scores, the former Alabama product will still be a workhorse back in this offense. He was just one of six running backs to see at least 300 carries last season. With second-year running back MarShawn Lloyd not really a threat to Jacobs' workload, fantasy managers can select him with confidence early in drafts.
