Saquon Barkley or Josh Jacobs

[YusufRafle]

With both landed in great spots which RB would you choose between the two in a startup?

Jacobs for me.
I'll take the younger one with a better health history.

I just can’t even understand how this is a conversation. Jacobs is on a one year deal with three one year options on the end the way the contract is structured. They can move on from him anytime they want. Barkley’s contract locks him in for years on a better offense. Not to mention that Barkley is a better talent. The age gap is only one year.

Total respect here, but both are bell cows, I would lean for Jacobs in fantasy just because of the reduced chance of goal line work going to others (Especially inside the 2). Both are great backs and any owner would love to roster them.

I struggle to understand it too, but I side with Jacobs. Jacobs 1 year deal with 3 voidable years, Saquon 2 year deal with 1 voidable year.
Jacobs has missed 9 games in 5 years, Saquon has missed 34 games in 6 years.
So I'll take the RB who is 1 year younger and will miss roughly 4 fewer games/year.

Better offense? Eagles? Seriously? Did you watch the Eagles offense in 2023?
Eagles scored 8.9 more points than the Packers did in 2023.
Packers scored 9 postseason TD's in 2 games, Eagles scored 1 TD in 1 game.
Look similar to me.

Packers did it with a 1st year QB, two 1st year TE's, two 1st year WR's, and two 2nd year WR's.

Hurts steals the GL work and they don't pass much to the RB, either.

I'd take Jacobs myself.
