Packers RB Josh Jacobs collected 3 TDs and 106 rushing yards in a Week 12 blowout of the 49ers. Sunday marked his first game with three scores since Week 7 of 2022.
HC Matt LaFleur, via USA Today: “You know that No. 8 out there, did you see how many people he made miss? It was pretty impressive. Early on, that got us going."
At one point, Jacobs headed to the locker room for an IV, but he ultimately returned in short order.
He simply dusted a thin 49ers defense that was charted as missing 24 tackles, per Next Gen Stats. Jacobs accounted for a massive 15 missed tackles forced, according to NGS.
The veteran has a negative rest-of-season schedule in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed. Still, his current usage suggests he can at least continue performing as a solid RB2. Next up is a home Thanksgiving matchup with Miami.
