Josh Jacobs News
Monday, November 9, 11:27 AM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did not rule out the possibility of the team placing running back Josh Jacobs (finger) on Injured Reserve when asked on Monday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs suffered a finger injury during Green Bay's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots that will require surgery and could lead to him being sidelined for an extended stretch. The 28-year-old missed the first six weeks of the 2026 season while on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List, but he's functioned as Green Bay's workhorse back since returning in Week 7. After Jacobs got hurt against New England, Packers back Kaleb Johnson took over and recorded 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. With Jacobs sidelined, Johnson could be a top waiver wire target for fantasy managers heading into Green Bay's Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

J.K. Dobbins News
Sunday, November 8, 11:59 AM
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton did not discuss the team's running back rotation following a 26-21 Week 9 win against the Carolina Panthers. Payton started rookie back Jonah Coleman in Week 9 over veteran J.K. Dobbins, and the Washington product led the ground game with 17 carries for 57 yards and his second touchdown of the season. That brings him to 30 carries for 134 yards this season. Meanwhile, Dobbins' efficiency has decreased, with him averaging just 1.7 yards per carry in a Week 8 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos are heading into their bye week, but fantasy managers should keep their eyes on who Payton leans on when the team returns to host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Coleman is RB13 in RotoBaller's position ranking, and Dobbins is RB39 heading into the bye.
