Josh Jacobs News

Josh Jacobs' Initial Court Appearance Moved Up

Friday, September 4, 9:14 AM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has had his initial court appearance moved up from November 17 to September 10, according to online court records. Jacobs was charged in late August on two misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage stemming from his May 26 arrest, and he was placed on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List shortly thereafter. The eighth-year veteran is not permitted to practice or attend games while on the list, and while there is no timeline for the league to make a final determination on any further suspension, the accelerated legal process could help to bring about clarity sooner rather than later. After being drafted in the high-end RB2 range for much of the summer, Jacobs has fallen below RB25 in more recent drafts, with MarShawn Lloyd climbing rapidly.

Wan'Dale Robinson News

Wan'Dale Robinson a PPR Sleeper with Large Target Share Expected

Saturday, September 5, 3:10 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson currently has an ADP of 130.8, and he's emerging as a potential sleeper in PPR leagues because of his anticipated role. Robinson is coming off a fantastic season with the Giants, catching 92 of his 140 targets for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. He's not a major threat for otherworldly yardage or touchdown totals, but he was peppered with targets in New York, and that trend should continue in Tennessee. First of all, the Titans gave him a four-year, $78 million contract, demonstrating a financial commitment to getting him heavily involved, especially as rookie Carnell Tate adjusts to the NFL. Furthermore, Robinson's new offensive coordinator in Tennessee is Brian Daboll, who was the Giants' head coach for the first portion of last season. Assuming Daboll's Titans offense looks similar to his Giants offense, Robinson should continue to fetch a very high target share, making him a very appealing target in PPR leagues, especially at his current ADP. Robinson has top-25 receiver upside after finishing as the WR14 last year, yet he's being drafted as the WR46 this year. That's a major discrepancy and could be an opportunity for managers to get a steal in the 10th round of fantasy drafts.
