Who Should I Start? Donta Foreman or Josh Jacobs

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. The veteran rushed for a season-high 44 yards and caught one pass for 16 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Washington Commanders. He evidently got dinged up. While Foreman is not high on the fantasy football radar, his injury status is notable because Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb (knee) has a chance to return in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles for the first time since his brutal knee injury a season ago. Whenever Chubb returns, Foreman could be phased out of the offense, but he might keep a small role while Chubb ramps up to a significant workload. Either way, the Browns' offense and offensive line have struggled mightily to begin the season, so Foreman offers very little upside.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was solid, yet unspectacular in the Packers' 24-19 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. Jacobs paced the team with 19 carries for 73 yards including a first-quarter rushing score from two yards out to kick off the scoring for the Packers. In addition to Jacobs' rushing prowess, he also added a 21-yard catch on his only target for a final total of 94 yards from scrimmage. Week 5's performance was Jacobs' best game of the season in terms of fantasy and now that he got his first touchdown of the season, Jacobs will head back home in Week 6 to host the Cardinals as a low-end RB1 for fantasy purposes.
