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.
I'm taking that back - I will play Rice - he hasn't had any TE's since weeks 1 and 2, but in a PPR league he has done extremely well, with his lowest score an 11.5 two games ago. So not sure whether to try Jacobs over Sproles though. He has been doing well too.

Do ya think Jacobs is worth playing over Sproles or Tolbert? I think I will bench Rice based on his past play with PIT.
