Brandon Jacobs rushed eight times for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 13. The Giants would have turned to Jacobs for a heavier workload if they hadn't been playing from behind for the majority of the game. One week after looking plodding against the Saints, Jacobs had a pep in his step against a superior run defense. He's on pace for 148 carries, 505 yards, and 7 TDs heading into Week 14 at Dallas.

Brandon Jacobs scored an 8-yard touchdown in the Giants' Monday night loss to the Saints, but finished with just 36 yards on 13 carries. The good news is that Jacobs appeared decisive on a handful of runs, including his touchdown run. The bad news is we didn't see enough of that decisiveness to predict that he will change his plodding ways. With or without Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), Jacobs may have a similar stat line when the Giants welcome the Packers next week. Playing from behind doesn't suit him.

Brandon Jacobs was held to just 21 yards on 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added three catches for 11 yards. Jacobs is now averaging just 49.3 yards per game filling in as the Giants' lead back in the absence of Ahmad Bradshaw the past three weeks, and has seen his season yards per carry fall to an unseemly 3.04. Even against a mediocre Saints' run defense, he'll be little more than an RB3/flex option in Week 12.

Brandon Jacobs rushed 18 times for 55 yards and added two catches for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Considering the degree of difficulty in terms of matchup today, Jacobs handled himself well. He ran hard and didn't dance at the line. However, D.J. Ware took over as the every-down back once the Giants fell behind by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Jacobs role for Week 11 against the Eagles will depend on Ahmad Bradshaw's health.

Coach Tom Coughlin had praise for Brandon Jacobs following Sunday's win over the Patriots. Jacobs has taken a lot of heat for dancing at the line of scrimmage and tip-toeing his way into holes. But yesterday, he ran with power. "There wasnƒ?Tt any east/west or any thoughts of that today. I mean he just dropped his shoulder and ran and he pounded his way to some really nice runs," Coughlin said. With Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) out, Jacobs racked up 22 touches compared to seven for D.J. Ware and one for Da'Rel Scott.

Brandon Jacobs is "set to carry the load" in Sunday's game against the Patriots, according the Newark Star-Ledger. Jacobs has been griping about his meager role behind Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), so now it's time to prove he's still got gas left in the tank. He'll start going forward and is a strong bet for 15-18 touches weekly, including all the goal-line work. Danny Ware will serve as the third-down back. If Jacobs was dropped in your league, scoop him back up as a potential RB2/flex play.

Brandon Jacobs says he wants to play another three years in the NFL. Jacobs, who was garnered more headlines off the field lately than on it lately, said Tuesday "you're going to see a change" in him. "Not everybody likes their job," Jacobs said his wife told him. "The guy that works at Verizon doesn't want to go in every day, but he sucks it up and sells his cell phones. So you've got to do what you've got to do." Jacobs is making $2.9 million in base salary this season as Ahmad Bradshaw's caddy. If he plays another three years in the NFL, it likely won't be with the Giants.

Brandon Jacobs opted for apathy after receiving just four Week 8 carries following his disparaging remarks about the Giants' running back usage. "I've got nothing positive to say," said Jacobs, whose team won the game. "The most positive thing: I got family at home and I got a fast-ass car being delivered on Tuesday. That's it." Jacobs is averaging 3.0 yards per carry, so it's not as if he's earning more work. Ahmad Bradshaw led the Giants' backfield Sunday with 88 total yards on 18 touches.

Brandon Jacobs rushed four times for 10 yards and added one catch for zero yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. Jacobs' return from his knee injury was an ugly mess. He bungled his first handoff from Eli Manning and had a well executed screen pass bang off his hands. Jacobs got a couple extra carries late when Ahmad Bradshaw was dealing with a foot injury, but the Giants knew they had to pass to win. Jacobs will only be a fantasy option if Bradshaw's foot woes cause him to miss time.
