NFL Requests to View Video Footage of Josh Jacobs Incident

Sunday, September 27, 5:52 AM

The NFL has officially requested to view video of the domestic incident that resulted in Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs being arrested and charged with two misdemeanors last offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Earlier this month, Jacobs pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of battery and one misdemeanor count of criminal damage to property. The court didn't issue any jail time for the Packers' running back, but this past week, a judge denied a request to permanently seal case records. That decision opened the door for the Packers to review the surveillance footage and potentially issue a very hefty punishment. This is a major step in the NFL's investigation, as being denied access to the footage would have made it difficult for the NFL to take action. Now, they'll presumably have a clear path to thoroughly complete their own investigation and determine if Jacobs will be suspended. In the meantime, he'll remain on the commissioner's exempt list, leaving MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks atop the running back depth chart in Green Bay. The NFL's history of punishing players for domestic violence incidents has been somewhat inconsistent, but fantasy managers should brace for the possibility of a lengthy suspension that sidelines Jacobs for several months.

Tony Pollard a Potential Trade Candidate Ahead of NFL Trade Deadline

Monday, October 5, 9:37 AM

Tennessee Titans veteran running back Tony Pollard ran for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, and NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes he is one of the first running backs a contending team could target ahead of the NFL's November 10th trade deadline. Pollard is in the final year of the deal he signed in 2024, and he has topped 1,000 rushing yards in each of the past four seasons while presently pacing toward a 939-yard campaign for an 0-4 Titans team. Any potential change of scenery could revitalize Pollard's fantasy prospects while also clearing opportunities for both Tyjae Spears and fifth-round rookie Nicholas Singleton.
