Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Devin Singletary

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) doesn't think it will take long for him to return after suffering a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the New York Giants, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's not a pain issue for Jacobs, but he'll need to get his range of motion back before he's cleared to play again. He said that he banged his knee on the second play of Sunday's game, and he didn't return because his knee swelled up fast, and he couldn't bend it. The 27-year-old did not practice on Wednesday but was seen doing individual drills on Thursday, giving him a chance to be active this Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs' Week 12 status is truly up in the air right now, and the Packers might play it safe and hold him out this weekend. If that happens, Emanuel Wilson will be in line for lead-back duties, with Chris Brooks serving in a change-of-pace RB2 role.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has narrowly outscored Tyrone Tracy Jr. over the past two weeks, with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. Singletary looks like he has earned the goal line work and ranks as the RB15 in the past two games with 28 PPR points, compared to Tracy as RB19 with 26 points. Tracy has the clear edge in touches (38 to 28), but Singletary has handled all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line and scored two touchdowns. The 28-year-old is the more trusted player in protection and has earned the high-value touches, seeing the goal line work and maintaining a relatively close split in route share. Both of their upside for fantasy will be limited in a committee, but Singletary looks like he could be the higher-scoring back the rest of the way.
