Update: Josh Jacobs to become Packers' top back
What it means
New Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs could become the team's top rusher for the 2024 season following the release of Aaron Jones. Jacobs initially inked his new deal with the Packers while Aaron Jones was still on the roster, which could have made for an exciting playmaking duo at the position. However, shortly after news of Jacobs' signing broke, the Packers announced the release of Jones, who will now become a free agent. Jones' release puts Jacobs in position to garner a heavy workload in the Packers' offense, especially after A.J. Dillon struggled to produce efficiently when given the chance last season. Jacobs could work his way into an elite workload for fantasy in the 2024 season. The Packers' offense utilizes its balance to maintain efficiency in the passing and rushing attacks, and could open up better rushing opportunities for Jacobs than the Raiders' offense was capable of doing a season ago.

Packers sign free agent running back Josh Jacobs
What it means
The Green Bay Packers are signing former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs to a new contract. Jacobs essentially played on the franchise tag for the Raiders last season after a complicated offseason process. The former first round pick, who led the league in rushing in 2022, could make for an excellent pairing with longtime Packers rusher Aaron Jones. The Packers were in need of an additional set of legs at the position after former second-round pick A.J. Dillon struggled to live up to expectations when given the opportunity. At this early stage of the offseason, Jacobs should be expected to split the early down rushing work down the middle with Jones, who has been electric when healthy for Green Bay. Jacobs' 2023 season was on the disappointing side, but the Packers are clearly betting on the upside he showed in 2022.
