SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #14   
Overall: #19


Jacobs fought the injury bug again last season, but still managed to top 1,000 yards and score a career high 15 touchdowns. He also had four 100-yard games and scored touchdowns in nine of 13 games. Jacobs has back to back 1,000-yard seasons, but has played a full season just once in his four-year career. He is a punishing runner, which probably contributes to his nagging injuries. But when healthy, Jacobs can be a force. Jacobs is a huge, bruising back, kind of drawing comparisons to Jerome Bettis. Jacobs also has quick feet, which enables him to break some long runs despite his big size.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
He'll lose some carries because the Giants spread the carries around at running back, but Jacobs should shoulder much of the load. Plus, he'll likely serve as the goal-line back ? another plus. He isn't a surefire No. 1 back because he doesn't get the yards of other top backs, but his touchdown potential makes him a great No. 2 back. He'll be a second or third round pick in drafts. Another season around 1,000 yards and double-digit scores seems likely.
Jenny Vrentas, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs said he is due for a 100-yard game in Week 9. 'Yeah, I tell you what, if anyone is due for one, it's definitely me,' Jacobs said.

The Associated Press reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs is frustrated about his lack of production so far this season. He said he takes the blame for his production but hinted there are other reasons why his stats are down. Jacobs is currently averaging 3.55 yards per carry, which is 1.45 yards less than last season.

Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs revealed during a local radio interview that he battled a slight knee injury at the start of the season. Jacobs, however, said the injury was no longer bothering him.
Fantasy Impact: This could explain his slow start. We'll see.

Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs, who is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry this season, said during a radio interview his numbers will improve or else he will retire after the season. 'If I finish the season averaging (3.4 yards) a carry, I won't play next year. I'll be done,' Jacobs said. 'That's how much I believe in my ability ... My numbers will get higher as the season goes on. I'm not worried at all. I think things will be good for me from here on out. Nothing's wrong. Things are good. The season just started. It's a long season. I'm fine. I'm good.'

Ralph Vacchiano, of The New York Daily News, reports it isn't so clear anymore who is the No. 1 running back for the New York Giants. RB Brandon Jacobs is still the starter, but through the first three games RB Ahmad Bradshaw has been more effective. Bradshaw is coming into games earlier than he did in the past, and he is seeing the football in more important situations. Plus, Bradshaw continues to create most of his own yardage. Previously Bradshaw would come into games to take advantage of defenders being tired after Jacobs spent time beating on them. So far in 2009, Jacobs has not looked as explosive as he did in the past and he has converted just four of his 10 short-yardage attempts. Bradshaw, in comparison, has converted six of seven short-yardage opportunities, gaining 82 yards on those six runs.

Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (arm) went to the locker room to get X-rays on his arm during the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 19. He has returned from the locker room but is not in the game.
Fantasy Impact: He should be fine. This had to be a scare for the Giants and Jacobs owners, though.
