Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Jordan Whittington

Thursday, January 2, 4:07 PM

According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (wrist) remained a limited participant on Thursday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during Friday's practice as he may carry as questionable tag into Sunday's regular season finale. Over his past seven games, Jacobs has found the back of the end zone at least once in each contest and tallied 11 total scores over this stretch. During this span, he has seen 19.6 attempts per game and tallied over 100.0 all-purpose yards per game. If Jacobs were to miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears or be limited in any capacity, Emmanuel Wilson would either get the starting nod or see a significant increase in opportunities.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the team's Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie wideout sustained a shoulder injury in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Buffalo Bills, causing him to "miss" LA's first two days of estimated practice this week. Fortunately, Whittington was able to log a limited session on Wednesday before getting a questionable tag for their Week 15 matchup. The 24-year-old has taken a backseat in the offense since teammates Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua's return -- failing to log a reception since the Rams' Week 6 bye. However, he's been a solid kick returner for the team and still records snaps for the offense. If he can't suit up on Thursday, wide receiver Tyler Johnson projects to pick up a few extra snaps while running back Blake Corum and wideout Xavier Smith will handle return duties.
