Minus Tucker Kraft
Luke Musgrave is expected to take on a bigger role with Kraft out. Notably, John Fitzpatrick is the only Packers tight end other than Kraft to score a touchdown this season. Given Green Bay's heavy reliance on 12 personnel, it's worth examining the fantasy value of both players.
Jacobs Run Game
Philadelphia has allowed 7 rushing and 3 receiving touchdowns from running backs this season.
Each Rushing TD against the Eagles
Javonte Williams - 2
Patrick Mahomes - 1
JK Dobbins - 1
Cam Skattebo - 3
Jordan Mason - 1
Jaxson Dart - 2
Jacobs has scored in two of three games against Sirianni’s Eagles: once as a Raider, once as a Packer (postseason). 50% of red zone touches are going to Jacobs.
Though Jordan Love hasn’t rushed for a TD this year, quarterbacks can find rushing success against the Eagles. The Packers at home, scrambling to defeat the defending champion Eagles, feels like a scenario where Love could score a lone rushing touchdown for the season.
Eagles’ Turnovers & Packers’ Conversions
The Eagles' three turnovers this season are the fewest in the NFL and tie their all-time low through eight games. Limited mistakes from the Eagles’ offense could force more pressure on Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense to make bigger plays.
The positive is that Green Bay leads the league in 3rd down conversions with a 46% conversion rate at home. Packers pass 81% of the time on late downs with Doubs, Watson, and Heath being a few of many pass-catching options for Green Bay.
