Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or C.J. Stroud

Saturday, October 18, 10:08 PM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is considered "a true game-time decision" for the week 7 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. He's still listed as questionable. However, Schefter added that the team won't know if the veteran can suit up until Sunday. Jacobs has played well throughout the 2025 campaign, amassing 359 yards and six touchdowns off 98 carries while catching 15 passes for 176 yards. Without question, his absence would be a tough blow for fantasy managers. If that's the case, Emanuel Wilson will be in line for more work and should draw streaming interest for the favorable matchup versus Arizona.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud went into his Week 6 bye week with immaculate vibes after throwing for 244 yards and four touchdowns in a 44-10 rout of the Ravens. He seemed to be making strides in new offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system, and he'll look to carry over that momentum to a tough Monday Night Football matchup against the Seahawks. Stroud threw for progressively more yards and increasing touchdowns leading up to that big game, when he completed 23 of his 27 pass attempts and looked dominant. He's only the QB18 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, though, since the Seahawks will present a formidable road challenge for the Ohio State alum. He's an excellent second QB in deep leagues, and he'll be out to prove that his two big games before the bye were the start of a positive trend.
