Josh Jacobs News
Friday, June 26, 6:01 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been one of fantasy's most consistent contributors when healthy, but allowing for the uncertainty stemming from his pending legal situation, he projects as one of the biggest boom-or-bust picks in 2026 drafts. Jacobs was the RB5 in 2024 and remained a top 12 fantasy back last season despite missing two games and playing through injury over the back half of the year. He has scored 30 total touchdowns in his 32 games with the Packers, and behind an offensive line that should see improvement in the run game, a healthy Jacobs is a near-lock to outperform his current ranking of RotoBaller's RB17. Green Bay has made no corresponding moves at running back since news first broke of his domestic violence allegations, and while charges have yet to be filed against him, the risk of suspension will follow Jacobs into the year, likely keeping him out of the first two rounds of 2026 drafts and threatening to derail his season altogether.

Cam Skattebo News
Monday, July 13, 7:33 PM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that second-year running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) is expected to be ready to participate early in training camp this summer, according to ESPN. Harbaugh added that Skattebo is further ahead of receiver Malik Nabers (knee) "based on the type of injury." Skattebo suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 8 of his rookie season and required surgery, but he took part in some 11-on-11 team drills at mandatory minicamp in June. Barring a setback during training camp or the preseason, Skattebo is on track to be a full-go for the start of the 2026 regular season in Week 1 for a divisional showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Tyronce Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are still in New York's backfield, but Skattebo, a fourth-rounder from Arizona State last year, has every intention of earning RB1 duties in his second season in an offense that should feature the run heavily under Harbaugh. Skattebo had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries and added 24 receptions for 207 yards and two more scores in his eight games as a rookie, and RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 20 fantasy RB going into the 2026 campaign.
