Josh Jacobs Doesn't Expect Full Workload In Week 18

The Packers are expected to play their starters in Sunday's game against the Bears. They can move up from the No. 7 seed to the No. 6 seed with a win coupled with a Commanders loss. But RB Josh Jacobs admitted Thursday that he doesn't expect to handle his usual workload. "Just being honest, being realistic, I don't see me taking that many carries in this game," Jacobs said. "Obviously, I want to play. I'm going to push to play, and I'm playing. But I don't see myself taking 30 carries." Jacobs gets a Chicago defense sitting 25th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs, so even 12-15 carries could result in a strong fantasy outing. But there's no guarantee he even gets that much work. Jacobs is a risky Week 18 fantasy play.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs got his final carry early in third quarter of Monday night's win over the Saints. He didn't get hurt. Green Bay simply didn't need him beyond that. Jacobs carried 13 times for 69 yards and a TD, adding 4 receptions for 38 yards on 4 targets before he left. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks added rushing TDs as well.

Playing his first game since Week 12, Packers WR Romeo Doubs led his team in routes (25) and TDs (2). He added 3 catches for 40 yards on an 18.5% target share vs. Seattle.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs racked up three TDs in Thursday’s loss to Detroit. He nearly added a receiving score, but the play was wiped off the board by a penalty.
