Josh Jacobs Active for Saturday's Game

Saturday, December 20, 6:26 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially active ahead of Saturday's Week 16 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. Jacobs appeared to be trending in the wrong direction after not practicing all week. He was on crutches on Monday, but the knee issue won't keep him from playing in this critical divisional matchup. Jacobs will suit up, so fantasy managers can go ahead and get him active in their lineups. There is no word on any limitations, but it wouldn't be shocking if the Packers were somewhat cautious with Jacobs. Nonetheless, fantasy managers can plug in Jacobs as an RB1 for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Ray Davis Still has Handcuff Value in Deep Leagues

Tuesday, December 16, 4:21 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis wasn't involved much on offense in the team's come-from-behind victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday, but he still made his presence felt on special teams, returning four kickoffs for a total of 164 yards. The 26-year-old former fourth-round selection caught his lone target in the passing game for a gain of 13 yards. He did not have a rushing attempt. Davis took over the team's primary kick-return duties in Week 9, and since then, he hasn't had much of a role on offense behind Cook and Ty Johnson. Still, he's worth stashing for insurance at the RB position in deeper leagues, as he'd likely be sharing backfield touches with Johnson if anything were to happen to Cook in the final three weeks of 2025. Davis leads the NFL with 32.4 yards per kick return. On offense, he hasn't had a carry since seeing a season-high nine rushing attempts in Week 13 versus the Steelers.
