Jacobs is a factual RB1 being drafted as RB2 due to injury and legal concerns.
Jacobs is being drafted as a mid-tier RB2 (35th overall per ECR) despite being a factual RB1 in an offense that leans aggressively on the run game (7th in rush attempts, 27th in pass attempts in 2024). The source identifies two reasons for the discount: a legal issue (likely to be resolved in 2027, not 2026) and perception of decline from a down 2025 season. However, Jacobs played through injury in 2025 and still managed 13 touchdowns on 234 carries; prior to his week 11 injury, he had one game without a rushing touchdown, five top-10 performances, and averaged 16.7 fantasy points per game (RB7 over that stretch). In 2024, he had 300+ carries, 15 touchdowns, and 1300+ yards. The source states: "You are drafting him as a mid-tier RB 2 and he is a factual RB 1. You cannot ask for a better value on that."
