Josh Jacobs News
Sunday, August 30, 10:36 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Jacobs was formally charged last week with misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property stemming from his May arrest. He had originally been arrested and booked on five counts, including felony strangulation and suffocation, before prosecutors ultimately filed the two misdemeanors. Jacobs' legal team has said the allegations will be addressed in court. While on the exempt list, the 28-year-old cannot practice or attend games, and there is no set date for his return. The timing makes Green Bay's Sunday trade for former Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson even more notable. Jacobs rushed for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games last season, so there is a significant workload suddenly up for grabs. MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Johnson all become names to watch while Jacobs is unavailable.

Blake Corum News
Monday, August 31, 12:09 PM
Across 17 games in 2025, Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum recorded 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 145 carries. With an average of 5.1 yards per attempt, the 25-year-old was a highly efficient player. However, the presence of star Rams back Kyren Williams prevented Corum from seeing more opportunities. Entering 2026, Corum and Williams appear poised to once again share touches. Corum slowly ate into Williams' playing time over the course of the season in 2025, so the backs could operate with a true 50/50 split in 2026. Corum also profiles as maybe the top handcuff running back in fantasy football, as his value would skyrocket if Williams were to miss any time. Still, Corum's production upside appears limited as long as Williams remains healthy. Corum also may not have much standalone appeal in PPR leagues in a split backfield, as he's recorded just 15 total receptions across 34 career NFL games. Corum has definite upside, but he also carries some bust potential at his current top-100 redraft ADP.
