Josh Jacobs News
Tuesday, August 11, 9:57 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains one of the players who could face discipline from the NFL, according to Adam Schefter. Jacobs was arrested in May following an alleged domestic incident in Wisconsin and was released the next day while prosecutors requested additional investigation before making a formal charging decision. Jacobs has denied wrongdoing through his attorneys. No punishment has been announced by the league, so there is no reason yet to guess at how much time he might miss. It is worth following for fantasy purposes, though. Jacobs ran for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games last season while catching 36 passes for 282 yards and another score. He is also currently sidelined with a groin injury that will keep him out at least this week. MarShawn Lloyd has gotten first-team work with Jacobs sidelined, though Green Bay's unofficial depth chart currently has Chris Brooks ahead of Lloyd. If Jacobs eventually misses regular-season games, that backup battle would suddenly become much more important.

Terry McLaurin News
Thursday, August 13, 6:24 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin may see a reduced target share with the addition of veteran wideout Stefon Diggs. The team signed Diggs to a one-year, $12 million contract, and the former Patriots receiver has shown out in his first few practices with the team. During a joint practice against the Miami Dolphins, Diggs dominated the Dolphins' cornerbacks in one-on-one drills and was a force in team drills as well. With Diggs expected to earn short-yardage work, McLaurin may be forced into a traditional X-receiver role, despite offensive coordinator David Blough stating they want to move him all over the place and get him "10 targets a game." While McLaurin's WR24 ranking seemed like a great value at first, Diggs' addition definitely increases the volatility of his 2026 outlook.
