Week 8 fantasy running back rankings: Top RB streamers, starts

For fantasy football managers who took a chance on Packers running back Josh Jacobs despite his uncertain status on draft day, that gamble looks like it's going to pay off.

Jacobs, who sat out the first six weeks of the season while on the Commissioner's Exempt List due to domestic violence charges, led the Packers backfield in snaps and production upon his return. He rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries and caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown.

For a Green Bay offense that struggled to run the ball during his absence, Jacobs looks like an RB1 going forward. He's the No. 10 running back in our rankings this week.
