Josh Jacobs Nabs First Career Touchdown Grab In Week 7 Win

Sunday, October 20, 5:15 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was solidly effective for the Packers as he capped off his afternoon in Week 7 with a touchdown reception in the Packers' 24-22 victory. Jacobs averaged over 6.0 yards per carry, totaling 72 rushing yards on just 12 carries. Jacobs also caught 5-of-5 targets for 16 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Jordan Love in the third quarter. That touchdown grab was the first of his career and ended his streak of 211 receptions without a receiving touchdown; the longest in NFL history. While the passing game was on display for the Packers for much of the game, Jacobs was plenty involved and had a quality day for fantasy purposes. He'll look to continue that momentum as the Packers head south to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8, where Jacobs should be considered a low-end RB1 for that matchup.

Travis Etienne Jr. Won't Play Against Patriots

Sunday, October 20, 8:01 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is inactive for Week 7 against the New England Patriots in London. The 25-year-old has been plagued by limited production and injury lately, and now, he's out altogether. This leaves the door open for Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson to earn additional touches, with the former presumably in line to handle the bulk of the opportunities. Bigsby will rank as an RB3/FLEX against a Patriots defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
