Alright, let’s do this thing. Today, I’m gonna break down the stats between Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones. These two are some heavy hitters in the running back game, and I wanted to see how they stack up against each other.
So, first things first, I started by gathering all the data I could find on these guys. I was digging through all sorts of websites, looking at their stats, how many carries they had, total yards, touchdowns, all that good stuff. It was a bit of a mess, to be honest, with info scattered all over the place, but I managed to put it all together.
Once I had all the data, I started comparing their numbers. You know, just a good old-fashioned side-by-side comparison. I made a simple table to keep things organized. Here’s what I found:
- Josh Jacobs: This guy’s been a beast. From what I saw, he’s had a ton of carries, like 301 just in one of the seasons I looked at. And the yards? Don’t even get me started. We’re talking over 1,305 carries for 5,335 yards over his career. That’s just insane! He’s also a two-time Pro Bowler and was an All-Pro. I mean, he’s been one of the best running backs in the league since he got drafted out of Alabama.
- Aaron Jones: Now, Jones is no slouch either. He might not have the same number of carries as Jacobs, but he’s super-efficient. I saw he averaged 4.6 yards per carry in one season, compared to Jacobs’ 3.5 in a different season. Plus, he’s found the end zone plenty of times. He’s also done well in PPR formats, which is good news for fantasy players.
After looking at all the numbers, I also checked out what the fantasy football folks were saying. Turns out, most of them had Jacobs ranked higher than Jones overall. One site even projected Jacobs to put up 249 fantasy points this year, ranking him 8th overall.
Then I dove into some more detailed stuff, like team target shares and rushing shares. I found some expert advice too, specifically for Week 16, but I figured that’s a bit too specific for this overall comparison. But it’s out there if you need it.
I even looked at some tools that let you compare up to four NFL players at once. Pretty cool, but for today, I’m just sticking with these two.
Lastly, I saw some chatter about Aaron Jones still having “plenty of juice” and potentially being an RB1 next year, even after an injury. It seems like the Packers’ offense is looking good, so that’s something to keep in mind.
In Conclusion
Wrapping it all up, both Jacobs and Jones are solid players, no doubt. Jacobs seems to be the bigger workhorse, racking up more carries and yards, while Jones is more about efficiency. It really comes down to what you’re looking for in a running back. Hope this breakdown was helpful, folks! Catch you in the next one!
