From the article

Packers RBs rank 31st in yards *before* contact per carry this season … and dead last in yards *after* contact per carry. That's not a good combo! That said, Jacobs has caught 11 passes for 68 yards and two scores while also functioning as the team's go-to option near the goal line. Don't expect the efficiency to pick up this week against the Patriots' fifth-ranked defense in fewest fantasy points per game allowed to RBs, but the potential for (another) multi-TD game keeps him in the low-end RB1 conversation.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Jacobs' goal-line role and receiving upside offset poor Packers run-game efficiency.

Ranked RB12 for Week 9 at New England. Packers RBs rank 31st in yards before contact per carry and dead last in yards after contact per carry—not a good combination. However, Jacobs has caught 11 passes for 68 yards and two scores while functioning as the team's go-to option near the goal line. Don't expect efficiency to pick up against the Patriots' fifth-ranked defense in fewest fantasy points per game allowed to RBs, but multi-TD upside keeps him in low-end RB1 conversation.
