STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Jacobs slides into Packers lead role immediately; RB room historically bad.

Maurile Tremblay projects Josh Jacobs to slide immediately into the Packers' starting running back job this week, noting he should need less ramp-up time than an injured player. The Packers' RB room (MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, Pierre Strong Jr.) has combined for one of the worst rushing starts in league history, averaging under 60 yards per game with 4 fumbles, making Jacobs' talent a clear upgrade that should restore him to the lead role.
