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.
