From the episode

josh jacobs coming back uh for the packers...probably not getting 20 carries in his first game back but he's probably getting at least 12 carries and while the packers running game has been bad uh their running game ranks 32nd dvoa their offensive line is 32nd in adjusted line yards jacobs should help things and the detroit run defense has not been nearly as impregnable as it has been in recent years
Mentioned at 23:40 – 25:58

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jacobs projected 12-14 carries with elite matchup; analyst ranks him 16 overall.

Expected to receive 12-14 carries in his first game back from injury against Detroit; the Packers' run defense ranks 32nd in DVOA and adjusted line yards, while Detroit's run defense has deteriorated significantly from prior years; Jacobs has maintained conditioning and was allowed around the team during absence, suggesting no Eddie Lacy-style rust concerns; the source ranks him at 16 and would start him even with a six-touch disadvantage versus Damian Pierce due to matchup quality.
