Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or J.K. Dobbins

Wednesday, December 10, 2:54 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reports. Jacobs was the lone Packers player not participating in Wednesday's practice session. The veteran was seen riding a bike and doing rehab work off to the side as practice began. It's not a great sign for the 28-year-old to open the week, but the team is likely just giving him a rest day. The 28-year-old missed Green Bay's Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings after injuring his knee in Week 11 against the New York Giants, but he returned for the Packers' past two games and handled his normal workload. If Jacobs winds up missing the Week 15 game versus the Denver Broncos, Emanuel Wilson would be in line to make another spot start. Jacobs is a must-start in fantasy lineups when active.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton isn't ruling out a potential return from running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) later in the year, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Dobbins was previously ruled out for the rest of the season due to a foot injury, but if the Broncos make a deep postseason run, Dobbins might be able to return. For fantasy football purposes, managers in single-year leagues can dump Dobbins to the waiver wire if they haven't already done so, since he won't be able to help them before the end of the year. Denver will move forward with rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey as their primary backfield option with Dobbins out, but Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie will also be involved in change-of-pace roles. Harvey will have RB2 upside the rest of the way, while McLaughlin and Badie are simply bench stashes in deeper fantasy leagues.
