Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Jayden Reed

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs continued to have success during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Last week, Jacobs rushed 66 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Detroit Lions. Jacobs continued his success on Thursday with 84 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a touchdown in the victory over the Commanders. He carried the ball into the endzone in the second quarter for his second score of the season and it marked his 10th straight game with a touchdown. Jacobs will remain a RB1 and the workhorse back heading into their Week 3 matchup versus the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone) is scheduled for surgery early next week. The hope is that he will be able to return this season, with the team looking at November as a possible timeline. Reed broke his collarbone making a touchdown grab on a play that was negated by a holding penalty. The play came on the Packers' opening drive and was Reed's first look in a game that ultimately saw seven other Green Bay pass catchers targeted. On a day that saw Jordan Love throw for nearly 300 yards and two scores, only tight end Tucker Kraft looked like a reliable option moving forward, with Romeo Doubs' fantasy day kept afloat by an early touchdown. With Reed now sidelined until at least mid-season, the silver lining could be added clarity amongst the Packers' pass catchers, but until rookie Matthew Golden can demonstrate an established chemistry with Love, Kraft will remain the only weekly start.
