Josh Jacobs News
Monday, July 27, 7:54 PM
The investigation into Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is "still open," the Brown County District Attorney's Office told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs was arrested in Wisconsin and jailed in late May on five charges related to domestic abuse. He was released from jail the following day because there was insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges at the time, and they had reason to believe there may be additional evidence that would impact what/if criminal charges were appropriate. The 28-year-old practiced all offseason with the Packers, and there's no telling when this legal situation will wrap up. As things currently stand, Jacobs looks likely to be Green Bay's starting RB in Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, but that could change if evidence surfaces that could reopen Jacobs' case as a criminal investigation. For fantasy purposes, Jacobs remains a midrange RB2 target for managers with three 1,000-yard seasons under his belt in seven NFL campaigns and a whopping 28 rushing touchdowns in his two seasons with the Packers.

Breece Hall News
Thursday, July 23, 11:12 AM
New York Jets running back Breece Hall finally cleared 1,000 rushing yards in 2025, yet five total touchdowns kept the season from feeling as strong as it was. Hall started 16 games and finished with 243 carries for 1,065 yards, plus 36 catches for 350 yards. That gave him 1,415 yards from scrimmage and pushed his four-year career total to 5,040. The Jets followed by signing the 25-year-old to a three-year extension, removing the contract question that hung over his dynasty value. Braelon Allen is healthy again, and Isaiah Davis played well when given touches last season. Aaron Glenn has called the group a three-headed backfield, so Hall may not dominate every week. His receiving work also bears watching after his targets fell from 95 in 2023 to 48 last year. Hall still sits at the front of the room, though, and New York has made a serious commitment to keeping him there. RotoBaller ranks him 44th overall and RB14 in dynasty. Contenders can pursue the immediate workload, while rebuilders do not need to move a 25-year-old back with long-term security and a proven receiving profile.
