Josh Jacobs’ Touchdown, 136 Total Yards Lift Packers In Week 15 Victory

Monday, December 16, 12:16 AM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was a utilization monster as he touched the ball 30 times and was an integral part of the team's 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Setting the tone early in game was Jacobs, as he touched the ball in 9-of-10 plays on the game's opening drive that ended on a Jacobs rushing touchdown from one yard out. Jacobs ended the night with 26 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown, as well as catching 4-of-4 targets for 42 yards through the air. It was a continuation of a massive run for Jacobs as he's scored nine touchdowns in his past five games. With the Packers going back home to Lambeau Field to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 and a must-start option for fantasy managers.

Darius Slayton Sees Six Targets On Sunday

Monday, December 9, 9:42 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton saw six targets as the team threw the ball 49 times in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 27-year-old finished with two receptions for 27 yards in an overall rough day for the team. Despite seeing 12 targets over the last two games, he's only been able to turn them into four catches for 35 yards. While the Giants head for the first-overall pick in the next draft, the passing game is hard to trust down the stretch. The Giants will take on the Ravens in Week 15.
