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.

Tony Pollard Clears 100 Rushing Yards for Third Straight Game

Sunday, December 21, 7:33 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard handled 21 carries for 102 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Pollard continues his strong stretch of production and has now rushed for at least 100 yards in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. It still resulted in a relatively empty fantasy line as the 28-year-old didn't find the end zone, and he didn't catch a pass for just the third time this season. Tyjae Spears also saw more usage than usual, recording a season high 18 touches for 105 total yards and a rushing touchdown. Pollard has been one of the best runners in the league recently and will look to keep rolling in next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
