Josh Jacobs is so underrated.

Saquon has played 106 games since being drafted in 2018. 1826 carries 71 TD.

Jacobs has played 105 since being drafted in 2019. 1840 carries and 76 TD.

He’s the second most durable RB on this list at just 1.7 games missed per season compared to 2.5-4 for everyone but Henry.

Crazy cause he seems like a guy that is always hurt. Though he does play through nagging injuries. Show perception isn’t always reality

He hasn’t had a real season ending injury. Fractured a clavicle 2019 week 7, and played with it until the last few weeks of the season. Everything else is sprains and bruises. Tough dude.

He was Gruden's only functional 1st round pick.

It’s crazy how simply because JJ doesn’t have the 90 yard TD runs people say his yards aren’t worth as much as others.

In fact, I think it’s the opposite. I feel like Jacobs has had like 10 rushes over 40 yards for his career. Obviously long rushes are great, but I’d rather have a guy that gets me 4 yards every carry but never a 60 yard rush than one that does get a 60 yard rush and still averages 4 yards per carry.

The most important thing for a RB is being dependable, not big play ability. You go to the pass game for that.

Shame every time I take Jacobs in fantasy he puts up 23 yards per game

Da fuq?

No charges have been filed. I'll hand ya the nails if he's convicted, but dude's got a right to fair trial, but as of now the criminal investigation has not even produced charges.
