Josh Jacobs News
Monday, July 27, 7:54 PM
The investigation into Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is "still open," the Brown County District Attorney's Office told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs was arrested in Wisconsin and jailed in late May on five charges related to domestic abuse. He was released from jail the following day because there was insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges at the time, and they had reason to believe there may be additional evidence that would impact what/if criminal charges were appropriate. The 28-year-old practiced all offseason with the Packers, and there's no telling when this legal situation will wrap up. As things currently stand, Jacobs looks likely to be Green Bay's starting RB in Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, but that could change if evidence surfaces that could reopen Jacobs' case as a criminal investigation. For fantasy purposes, Jacobs remains a midrange RB2 target for managers with three 1,000-yard seasons under his belt in seven NFL campaigns and a whopping 28 rushing touchdowns in his two seasons with the Packers.

Malik Nabers News
Saturday, August 1, 9:52 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is expected to practice on Saturday after his planned day off on Friday, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Nabers is gradually working his way back from a torn ACL and meniscus he suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 campaign. So far through the early going of training camp, the star wideout has "felt great" in his brief return to the field. Managers should continue to keep a close eye on his progress, as the Giants have yet to provide a clear, definitive timeline for his potential return to game action. While his sophomore season was cut short, he flashed elite upside as a rookie. During the 2024 season, the former LSU standout caught 109 of his 170 targets for 1,204 yards and seven receiving touchdowns. When on the field, Nabers possesses WR1 upside, but those who select him in drafts should expect some early-season limitations in his opportunities.
