Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) is practicing on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with an ankle injury. Hopefully, his Wednesday absence was precautionary and he'll be good to go for the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions. Jacobs is the current RB9 in half-PPR formats, averaging 13.6 fantasy points per game behind 667 rushing yards, 115 receiving yards, and four total touchdowns. The Lions have surrendered the third-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs...

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (undisclosed) is not participating in Wednesday's practice. It will be unclear what is holding Jacobs out until the team releases its official injury report after practice wraps up, but hopefully, it's more of a rest absence instead of a notable injury. The former Las Vegas Raider has gotten out to a solid start with his new team, rushing 145 times for 667 yards and three touchdowns. He also has one receiving score. His lack of touchdowns is hurting ...

What a week it was for fantasy goodness. Quarterbacks were on fire, and thus, so were offenses around the NFL. If you were on the right side of that output, then I commend you. If you received duds on your roster, then I feel your pain.This was a topsy-turvy week in the NFL and this column suffered as a result. As is the nature of fantasy, the unpredictable nature of the NFL is always something to contend with. Still, we push on and look ahead at some great potential matchups on the docket in ...

With Week 8 nearly complete, the season's mid-point is (somehow) upon us. Time flies, huh? 2024 has been quite the whirlwind thus far, but don't fret -- there's still time for everything we know to get turned on its head. Hopefully, that isn't the case, as we've had more twists and turns than an M. Night Shyamalan flick, but, like I said -- we're only about halfway through.This week started on a high note, with the Los Angeles Rams defeating the Minnesota Vikings 30-20 at home in a stunning turn...

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit should not be considered at all by fantasy managers in a rough Week 8 matchup. Along with being one of the worst defenses in football this season, they face off with the Green Bay Packers high-powered offense, led by quarterback Jordan Love, Jayden Reed, and Josh Jacobs. The Packers aren't the worst possible matchup from a fantasy perspective, but the combination of a great passing offense going up against one of the worst secondaries in the ...

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is likely to get plenty of volume, but his upside may be capped a bit when Jacobs and Packers travel down to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars in Week 8. While the Jaguars' defense is susceptible through the air, they're a true pass funnel defense as they are 12th in defensive EPA allowed per rushing attempt. With Jacobs, he's relied a ton on volume rather than efficiency, as he's had just one top-12 finish amongst running backs this season. Jacobs ...

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was solidly effective for the Packers as he capped off his afternoon in Week 7 with a touchdown reception in the Packers' 24-22 victory. Jacobs averaged over 6.0 yards per carry, totaling 72 rushing yards on just 12 carries. Jacobs also caught 5-of-5 targets for 16 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Jordan Love in the third quarter. That touchdown grab was the first of his career and ended his streak of 211 receptions ...

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been solid, yet unspectacular this season. He will get another opportunity to get into the scoring column as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Jacobs has gotten the lion's share of opportunity as the top rusher in Green Bay but has parlayed that into just one top-12 fantasy week in six games. He's been a high-floor, low-ceiling option at running back and has just one touchdown to his credit in Week 5 against the Rams. With both ...

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was solidly involved in the Packers' 34-13 victory against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Jacobs took 18-of-29 running back carries on the afternoon for 62 rushing yards. He also caught all three of his targets on day for 29 yards, to account for the most total yards of any skill-position player on the team. All four offensive scores came via the pass from Jordan Love, but the run was utilized heavily as the team had a total of 38 rushes to 32 pass ...
