Josh Jacobs News
Saturday, August 29, 5:13 AM
One day after Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was formally charged with two misdemeanors stemming from an alleged incident that led to his arrest in May, head coach Matt LaFleur addressed his standing with the team. "Well, I fully anticipate him being a member of our team," LaFleur told the media on Friday. "You've got to let everything play out," he continued. "But I anticipate him being a member of our football team." Jacobs was charged with battery and criminal damage to property, and the NFL does not need to wait for the legal process to play out before deciding whether to suspend him, with a league spokesperson saying on Wednesday that his case "remains under review." When healthy and available, Jacobs is one of the biggest fantasy difference-makers at the position, but uncertainty around his situation has pushed him to RB16 by current ADP.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Friday, August 28, 7:55 PM
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (neck) suffered a stinger during Friday's preseason contest against the New York Jets, head coach John Harbaugh told Dan Duggan of The Athletic. A stinger is a temporary nerve injury that sends a sharp pain down the arm. The injury isn't expected to be very serious and pain typically goes away within hours to days, so Tracy remains on track to play in Week 1 of the regular season against the Dallas Cowboys. Assuming he's available for the season opener, it will be interesting to see how this backfield looks. Presumably, Cam Skattebo will be the lead back, but Tracy, Najee Harris, and Devin Singletary are all capable of carving out significant roles, too. For now, we could envision Tracy having weekly standalone value as a low-end RB3/flex, even if he operates as the No. 2 ball-carrier behind Skattebo. He's a decent, proven option at his current ADP of 146.3.
