It’s not only in the run game that the Green Bay Packers have to worry about Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, but he has been one of the best pass-catching backs in football this season.
Through just four games, Jacobs has caught 18 of his 24 targets at 9.6 yards per catch, with most of his production coming lined up out of the backfield. For some context, those 24 targets are the most in football among running backs. Jacobs’ 173 receiving yards also ranks first, and his 9.6 yards per catch ranks eighth, according to PFF.
