SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #40   
Overall: #143


Jacobs averaged a career-high 5.6 yards per carry last season, but played second fiddle to Ahmad Bradshaw much of the season. Jacobs had just 147 carries, his lowest total since 2006. Jacobs had three straight seasons with 200-plus carries before last year. Jacobs has rushed for 800-plus yards four straight seasons and has 1,000-yard seasons twice during that stretch. He'll be 29 before the start of the season, though, so his best days might be behind him, especially if you consider his running style. He seems best suited as a platoon back at this stage of his career, splitting work with Ahmad Bradshaw. Jacobs is a big, bruising back with decent speed and the ability to run over would-be tacklers. Jacobs also has quick feet, which enables him to break some long runs despite his big size. He is a bit injury prone, playing a full season just twice in his career.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Jacobs has potential. He can be a little erratic, but will churn out some yards and score seven or so touchdowns. He is best used as a No. 3 or 4 back for fantasy teams, worth some spot starts for fantasy teams. Don't expect a big bounce-back season at this stage of his career.
New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs does not appear likely to return in 2012. Jacobs wouldn't be a bad role player, but he's due $4.9 million in 2012. The Giants will not pay him that, so unless he takes a major pay cut, Jacobs is almost certainly gone when his $500,000 roster bonus is due in early March.

New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs faces an uncertain future with the team after Super Bowl XLVI, even though he is under contract for next season. Jacobs has a roster bonus of $500,000 due in March. Jacobs has $4.4 million left on his contract next season. 'I've never really thought about that, and it doesn't really bother me,' Jacobs said. 'I'm sure something is going to get worked out and things will be fine. I am playing in the Super Bowl for the New York Giants. And if that is the way it is, there is nothing I can do. I am trying to do as best I can to help this team win.'

New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs took exception to comments made by former NFL WR Jerry Rice. Rice described Jacobs as soft and rather easy to tackle for a guy his size. 'If he feels that way, he feels that way,' Jacobs said of Rice. 'I bet you he won't tackle me.'

Former NFL WR Jerry Rice said if there is rain during the NFC Championship Game it could affect the New York Giants, particularly RB Brandon Jacobs. Rain would make the offenses rely on the running game, and Rice believes Jacobs is not a tough enough runner. 'That goes to San Francisco,' said Rice, of rain favoring the Niners. 'I like Ahmad Bradshaw, I like Brandon Jacobs but I feel like Brandon Jacobs is a little bit soft. He can't get away from a defender. This guy is 265 (pounds) and it upsets me when I see him get tackled by a guy that's like 190 or 200 pounds.'
