Josh Jacobs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (illness, calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He carries elevated risk with the calf injury that reportedly had him as a game-time decision for this one. But go ahead and get Jacobs in your starting lineup if you were waiting on him.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero hears that Packers RB Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) "believes" he'll be able to play vs. the Cardinals later today. A final decision will be made by the team, though, and might not come until pre-game warmups. Jacobs' situation wasn't helped by the Packers' plane being delayed six hours before taking off for Arizona last night. With Green Bay's inactives not due until a little before 3 pm ET, Jacobs owners should roster RB Emanuel Wilson or another late-game alternative in case he ends up sitting.

The Packers consider RB Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) a "true game-time decision" for Sunday's meeting with the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's presumably the calf that has Jacobs iffy for this one. That issue was added to the injury report on Friday, although Jacobs was a full participant in practice that day. We'll surely get more updates on Jacobs between now and the 1 pm ET kickoffs on Sunday. (We won't get Green Bay's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET.) Schefter also confirms that RB Emanuel Wilson would be the expected starter if Jacobs can't go. We'd also see RB Chris Brooks mix in, particularly on passing downs. And the Packers elevated RB Pierre Strong from the practice squad on Saturday. Wilson would likely settle in as a mid to high-end RB3 in the Week 7 rankings if Jacobs misses.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (illness, calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday with the illness. The calf was added to the injury report on Friday, but Jacobs was a full participant in practice. He should be fine for Sunday’s game, but we’ll keep you updated on his status. RB Emanuel Wilson would be the best bet in Green Bay’s backfield if Jacobs does not play.

The Green Bay Packers have placed RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd sustained a groin injury in practice on Monday. We’ll wait to hear on the severity, but as beat writer Ryan Wood noted on X, Lloyd also dealt with a groin injury in 2024. The second-year pro is in a battle for Green Bay’s No. 2 RB job behind Josh Jacobs.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has no limitations at the start of voluntary offseason work. A variety of injuries (ankle, hamstring, appendicitis) limited him to one game and six carries as a Round 3 rookie.

The Packers are expected to play their starters in Sunday's game against the Bears. They can move up from the No. 7 seed to the No. 6 seed with a win coupled with a Commanders loss. But RB Josh Jacobs admitted Thursday that he doesn't expect to handle his usual workload. "Just being honest, being realistic, I don't see me taking that many carries in this game," Jacobs said. "Obviously, I want to play. I'm going to push to play, and I'm playing. But I don't see myself taking 30 carries." Jacobs gets a Chicago defense sitting 25th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs, so even 12-15 carries could result in a strong fantasy outing. But there's no guarantee he even gets that much work. Jacobs is a risky Week 18 fantasy play.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs got his final carry early in third quarter of Monday night's win over the Saints. He didn't get hurt. Green Bay simply didn't need him beyond that. Jacobs carried 13 times for 69 yards and a TD, adding 4 receptions for 38 yards on 4 targets before he left. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks added rushing TDs as well.

Playing his first game since Week 12, Packers WR Romeo Doubs led his team in routes (25) and TDs (2). He added 3 catches for 40 yards on an 18.5% target share vs. Seattle.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs racked up three TDs in Thursday’s loss to Detroit. He nearly added a receiving score, but the play was wiped off the board by a penalty.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs collected 3 TDs and 106 rushing yards in a Week 12 blowout of the 49ers. Sunday marked his first game with three scores since Week 7 of 2022.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is expected to be designated to return and practice this week, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Lloyd has been dealing with injuries since the summer and has played just 10 snaps so far this season. If the rookie can get and stay healthy, he still has a chance to ascend to the No. 2 spot on Green Bay's depth chart, but he has work to do to get there. For now, Lloyd is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs notched 95 yards on 13 carries in a Week 9 loss to Detroit. Jacobs’ 7.3 yards per carry mark tied his single-game career high.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but we’ve heard nothing about the ankle being an issue today. The bigger concern is the matchup against Detroit’s second-ranked RB defense.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) is expected to play in today's game vs. the Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jacobs only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but we never sensed any concern about his status for this one. The matchup against a stout Detroit run defense is a bigger issue than the ankle.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but we’ve heard nothing to suggest that he’s in real danger of missing this one. We’ll look for further updates on Jacobs but won’t get Green Bay’s inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday. RBs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks have been splitting work behind Jacobs recently.
