Josh Jacobs News
Sunday, October 25, 4:32 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Detroit Lions. He also caught five of his seven targets for an additional 55 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Jacobs missed the first six weeks of the season due to his placement on the commissioner's exempt list, so Sunday represented his 2026 season debut. Although he was relatively inefficient on the ground, he handled far more carries than the running backs who filled in for Jacobs while he was sidelined. Plus, he more than made up for his modest rushing output with a huge impact in the passing game. Jacobs, 28, is a dual-threat back who has proven that he can be a consistent high-end RB2 in fantasy football. He should continue to be started in all fantasy leagues next week against the Carolina Panthers, who just let the Buccaneers' running backs explode for 246 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on Sunday afternoon.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Sunday, October 25, 2:56 PM
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) does not appear to have suffered a serious injury during Sunday's 27-21 overtime victory over the Houston Texans, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, who described a sense of relief in the Giants' locker room with the team's bye week approaching and indicated the issue did not appear significant. The 26-year-old exited in the second quarter and did not return, finishing with six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown, along with one reception for two yards. New York's Week 8 bye gives Tracy additional recovery time before the Giants visit the Philadelphia Eagles on November 8, though his availability for that matchup remains uncertain.
