Jacobs made a decent impression in his first appearance of the season for Green Bay, finishing with 11 carries for 36 yards... he gets arguably the most favorable matchup he'll see all season facing a Carolina defense that ranks dead last against the run.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jacobs faces league-worst run defense; source backs 60+ and 70+ rushing yards props.

Jacobs made a solid debut for Green Bay with 11 carries for 36 yards and five receptions on seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown. The source projects strong production against Carolina's dead-last run defense (153.2 rushing yards allowed per game, 11 rushing touchdowns allowed tied for league worst). Jacobs had 87 yards and a touchdown against Carolina last season, and the source backs both the 60+ rushing yards (-108) and 70+ yards rushing (+154) props, expecting him to clear both numbers in this favorable matchup.
