Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Pat Bryant

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) continues to deal with a calf injury and was limited again during Thursday's practice, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs has played through a calf injury each of the last two weeks, although he's had his two lowest snap rates in those games at just over 50%. The 27-year-old had only 33 rushing yards on 13 carries in the Sunday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he also found the end zone on the ground for the fourth straight week. While Jacobs hasn't gone over 100 yards in a game yet in 2025, he's been money for fantasy managers with nine rushing touchdowns in seven games played. The only game in which he didn't find the end zone was on Sept. 21 in the upset loss to the Cleveland Browns. Jacobs should be active this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, where he'll be a touchdown-dependent midrange RB1 in fantasy.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has had a quiet start to his first year in the NFL. Through seven games, the 22-year-old has recorded five catches for 46 yards on 10 targets. On the bright side, Bryant has seen a clear increase in playing time in recent weeks. After failing to play more than 33% of Denver's offensive snaps in any of the team's first four games, Bryant has played more than 50% of the snaps in each of the last three weeks. He also saw a career-high four targets in Week 7 against the New York Giants, but turned them into just one catch for six yards. Despite the encouraging trends, Bryant has a ways to go before he's worth rostering in redraft fantasy leagues. He maintains dynasty appeal, but can remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.
