Nerdy Football Analysis: Jacobs led the league in rushing yards (1653) last season and finished as the RB3 in PPR leagues behind Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler. His 340 carries were second only to Derrick Henry (349). He turned out to be a league-winner after being drafted around pick 50 as the RB21. Coming off his best season as a pro, Jacobs is just 25 years old and should be priced as a low-end RB1 heading into 2023.
