Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Terry McLaurin

Thursday, December 25, 9:06 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is off the injury report and is good to go on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Jacobs was limited all three days of practice this week with a nagging knee injury he suffered in Week 11 against the New York Giants. He played just 40% of snaps in last week's stunning loss to the Chicago Bears, while Emmanuel Wilson played 47%. Jacobs faces a Baltimore Ravens defense that has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to running backs this season. With the Packers firmly clinched in the postseason, there's a possibility Jacobs could be limited again in Week 17. However, fantasy managers can still trust him in starting lineups for fantasy championships this week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has provided a major lift to the passing game since returning in Week 13. McLaurin has compiled 16 catches on 26 targets for 259 receiving yards and two touchdowns, ranking 16th among wide receivers in yards over that span. The 30-year-old wideout has a golden matchup on Christmas Day against a Dallas Cowboys defense that is allowing a league-high 8.8 yards per pass attempt over the last five games. However, the Ohio State product could be catching passes from journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson, with Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) uncertain to play after missing two straight practices to open the week. McLaurin still profiles as a solid start with upside in Week 17 as Washington's clear top target, ranking as RotoBaller's WR14 in PPR leagues.
