Taking advantage of potential valuation trends in the trade market is imperative. That is even more true during the season when players can experience wild valuation changes on a week-to-week basis. Each week, I will be highlighting some players you should be looking to move or acquire and the reasons why.
There are 22 running backs in the league who have seen at least 60 carries. Of those 22, no back has scored fewer touchdowns than Josh Jacobs. He has one, despite the fact he has carried the ball 108 times. That is a 0.9% TD rate, which pails in comparison to his career average of 3.3%. It looks slightly more ridiculous when you throw in that he has had 14 carries inside the red zone and nine inside the 10-yard line. Jacobs has been playing some fantastic football but currently sits as the RB21 largely because he hasn't found the endzone. Suppose you were to give him his career TD rate and award him two touchdowns that would put him as the overall RB13 just ahead of Jahmyr Gibbs. You may be thinking very differently about him if that was the case.
