Josh Jacobs News
Saturday, July 18, 11:09 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a consistently high-end fantasy contributor since joining the Packers in 2024, recording nearly 2,900 scrimmage yards and 30 touchdowns on 607 touches over the past two seasons. However, Jacobs' profile carries some uncertainty ahead of 2026, as he could be facing a league suspension after being arrested following a domestic disturbance in May. Even if Jacobs avoids missed time, he's entering his age-28 season and has already racked up a ton of mileage on his legs. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Jacobs has averaged over 300 touches per season. His efficiency fell off in 2025, as he averaged 4.0 yards per carry and 4.5 yards per touch after averaging 4.4 yards per carry and 5.0 yards per touch in 2024. At his current redraft ADP of RB17, Jacobs may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid in 2026.

Justice Hill News
Tuesday, July 14, 10:21 AM
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was limited to just 10 games in 2025 by toe and neck injuries, finishing the year with 262 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 39 touches. While Hill has never operated as a true lead back, he's been a reliable third-down option for the Ravens who compiled over 1,200 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns from across 31 games in 2023 and 2024. Entering 2026, Hill could once again be the pass-catching complement to star Baltimore back Derrick Henry in the Ravens backfield. However, Baltimore has a couple of younger running back options who could put pressure on Hill in 2024 fifth-rounder Rasheen Ali and 2026 fifth-rounder Adam Randall. Hill has not averaged four carries per game since his rookie season in 2019 and is now entering his age-29 campaign. Even if Henry were to get injured, Hill might remain in a complementary role rather than taking over as the Ravens' lead back. Given his lack of obvious handcuff value, Hill may be overvalued as the RB65 by current redraft ADP.
