Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Josh Jacobs

Tuesday, December 2, 4:21 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 20 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's 26-8 win over the Browns in Week 13. He also caught all four of his targets for 21 receiving yards. Sunday's game was just the third time this season that McCaffrey finished with fewer than 100 scrimmage yards, and his four targets were a season low. Still, the two-time All-Pro finished as a top-12 running back in PPR scoring for the twelfth time in 13 weeks. Fantasy football managers will have to do without McCaffrey's services in Week 14 while the 49ers are on bye. Those lucky enough to have sewn up a spot in the fantasy football playoffs get to look forward to a matchup against the Titans in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is off the injury report following a full practice session on Friday, and he'll be good to go for the Packers' Week 14 matchup with the Chicago Bears. Jacobs has been an awesome fantasy option this season, but last week was one of his least-productive fantasy outings with just 10.1 fantasy points. Week 13 marks just the second game in which Jacobs played the full game and didn't get in the end zone. That's how seemingly automatic Jacobs has been this season, and as the engine of the Packers' offense, Jacobs should be in a good position to do well against a middle-of-the-road Bears' run defense. Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 fantasy option in Week 14.
