Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Kendre Miller

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.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and will miss the rest of the year, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a tough blow for Miller and for the Saints' backfield depth behind starter Alvin Kamara. The 23-year-old had ascended into the biggest role of his career in his third year in the league as the direct backup to Kamara, carrying the ball 47 times for 193 yards (career-best 4.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding five catches on five targets for 30 yards as a pass-catcher through seven games. Miller has been plagued by the injury bug since entering the NFL as a third-rounder in 2023, as he missed 20 of a possible 34 games in his first two seasons. With Miller now sidelined until next year, rookie Devin Neal becomes the primary handcuff option for Kamara's fantasy managers.
