Players To Watch:

Green Bay: Running Back – Josh Jacobs

Jacobs enters his first game as a Packer and with him, he brings with him three seasons of over 1,000 yards rushing and five straight seasons of over 1,000 yards from scrimmage. He will be what paces this Packers offense as they look to establish a potent rushing attack.

Philadelphia: Running Back – Saquon Barkley

Barkley joined the Eagles this offseason and if he can stay healthy the Eagles offense has definitely upgraded, he finished just 38 yards short of 1,000 yards. He’s recorded over 1,000 yards in three seasons. An explosive back like Barkley will open up the Eagles’ passing attack and open things up for big names such as A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith.
