Brandon Jacobs | RB NYG

Brandon Jacobs was fantastic on his 11 carries on Sunday, running for 73 yards and two scores. You can’t ask for much more than that on 11 carries against that Ravens defense. So what do you do if you own Jacobs? Do you sell-high? Do you ride the 264-pound beast into your fantasy playoffs? While most would laugh at the idea of trading him, his rushing schedule is a bit tough moving forward. I say sell-high, but ONLY if the price is right. In Weeks 12-17, the Giants face just TWO rushing defense that are NOT inside the league’s top 11. In fact, in Weeks 12-14, Jacobs faces the Cardinals (7th), Redskins (5th) and Eagles (11th). Now, realize that Jacobs just defied this kind of logic on Sunday, rushing for 73 yards and two scores against the Ravens (3rd against the run), but fantasy owners got lucky getting that kind of production off of 11 carries. Eleven carries isn’t going to get it done most weeks… but again, because Jacobs is such a beast-of-a-runner, he is the kind of back that can somehow break off a run against an extremely tough rushing defense… that’s why only sell-high if you sell at all.
