Fantasy Alert: Packers Reportedly See Josh Jacobs as 'Eddie Lacy in His Prime'

The Green Bay Packers see shades of a different one-time Pro Bowler in star running back Josh Jacobs.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Monday they agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with Jacobs. Rob Demovsky of ESPN explained why Green Bay felt this opportunity was too good to turn down.

"While Jacobs might not be a guy LaFleur would line up in the slot or outside as a receiver like he did at times with [Aaron] Jones, the Packers believe his versatility as a rusher and receiver makes him dynamic," he wrote.
