Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Tony Pollard

Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said that running back Josh Jacobs "looks great," according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. "Josh, I think will definitely help for sure," Stenavich added. Jacobs was officially removed from the commissioner's exempt list on Monday and will be eligible to practice with the team for the first time during the regular season. However, the Packers have not yet decided if the 28-year-old starting RB will make his 2026 debut in a Week 7 divisional clash against the Detroit Lions. Jacobs was on the exempt list for the first six weeks of the season due to an arrest back in May. The NFL is still reviewing his case and could hand down a suspension eventually, but Jacobs' time served on the exempt list could effectively cancel out any potential suspension. The Packers have mostly used a combination of MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson with Jacobs away from the team, and they have struggled mightily on the ground. Jacobs is hoping to be much more efficient as the Packers' lead back, but he could be eased back into the fold when he makes his debut. Jacobs should be rostered in all fantasy leagues now that he is back with the team.
