Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Jonathan Taylor

Sunday, November 23, 11:01 AM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Jacobs was listed as questionable and deemed to be a true game-time decision on Sunday morning. In the end, he won't be able to suit up for a key divisional battle at home. Jacobs, who first suffered the injury during the second quarter of last week's game against the New York Giants, will be replaced in the first-team offense by Emanuel Wilson. Wilson led the Packers' backfield after Jacobs departed last Sunday, tallying 40 rushing yards, nine receiving yards, and one touchdown through the final three quarters. This week, he ranks as a fringe top-24 running back in fantasy football. Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong Jr. should also earn some touches in their respective depth roles.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor should be well-rested coming out of his Week 11 bye. Taylor has been one of the top players in fantasy this season, racking up 17 all-purpose touchdowns in just 10 games. The star running back will look to stay hot in a Week 12 road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been tough on running backs this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Taylor has been too dominant this season and will continue to see the bulk of the Colts' running-back touches. He settles in as a top-three fantasy running back heading into Week 12 in a game with a 50-point over/under.
