Josh Jacobs News
Tuesday, August 18, 6:57 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) will be back at practice on Tuesday, head coach Matt LaFleur told Aaron Nagler of CheeseheadTV. The veteran ball-carrier missed a few days of practice but is now getting back on the field. The Packers wouldn't have him practice if he wasn't close to 100%, so fantasy managers should feel confident that he's healthy and this injury won't impact his availability for Week 1. There is still an off-the-field hurdle to clear, though, as Adam Schefter of ESPN previously reported that Jacobs could face discipline for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. With that being said, until punishment is issued, Jacobs remains on track to play Sept. 13 against the Vikings. He's coming off a 14-touchdown season and ranks as the overall RB17 for the 2026 fantasy football season.

Tyler Allgeier News
Friday, August 14, 12:19 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier saw minimal usage behind starter Jeremiyah Love (ankle) in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Allgeier operated in a relief role, spelling the rookie, who had 14 touches in the first half. Allgeier himself logged four rushing attempts for 19 yards. After rushing for 1,035 yards as a rookie in 2022, Allgeier looked like an up-and-coming stud running back until the Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson the next season and made him their featured back. Allgeier left Atlanta as a free agent and signed a two-year deal with Arizona on March 9, only for the Cardinals to select Love with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft two months later. Love is expected to be Arizona's starting running back, but Allgeier could still figure prominently in a timeshare. Allgeier's next chance to make his case for more touches will come on August 22 when the Cardinals face the Dallas Cowboys.
