Josh Jacobs Back At Practice On Thursday

Thursday, October 31, 2:35 PM

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 this season, but Jacobs remains a virtual must-start if he plays since he is averaging 20.3 touches per game (sixth-most). Emanuel Wilson is the clear RB2 in Green Bay, so he'd be a must-add ball-carrier if Jacobs suffers any setbacks and cannot play in the NFC North showdown.

Panthers Not Trading Other Stars Such As Chuba Hubbard or Jaycee Horn

Tuesday, October 29, 6:10 PM

The Carolina Panthers dealt star wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday. With the Panthers essentially playing for nothing at this point, many wondered if they would trade any other veterans. Running back Chuba Hubbard and cornerback Jaycee Horn have topped the list of potential trade targets for a while. However, it sounds like the Panthers are not planning to deal either player. The Panthers need to hold on to as much talent as they can. Both Horn and Hubbard are 25 years old or younger. Horn has played well when healthy and Hubbard has been excellent as the Panthers' lead back in 2024 despite the ineptitudes of the offense. Hubbard has rushed for 593 yards and three touchdowns this season. He currently sits at No. 5 in rushing yards in the league. For fantasy purposes, a trade would not necessarily be welcome for Hubbard if he were to wind up in a committee given how well he has performed in his current situation.
