Who Should I Start? Kyle Juszczyk or Josh Jacobs

Tuesday, September 23, 3:10 AM

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk caught a one-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The score, four minutes into the fourth quarter, was the first trip to the end zone by either side and broke what was then a 6-6 tie. Even with the 49ers' injury woes in the first three weeks of the season, Juszczyk's fantasy appeal is nil. He is turned to so infrequently that his fluke touchdowns (the last time he had more than two in a season was 2020) simply aren't worth chasing. Through the first three games of 2025, Juszczyk has four receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is still on the team's injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday as he works his way through a calf injury, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs was under the weather last week and then popped up with a calf injury that made him questionable to play in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old ultimately was cleared to play and scored two touchdowns on the ground for the third straight week. However, he did play a season-low 55% of the offensive snaps and was inefficient with his 14 total touches, accounting for 58 scrimmage yards. Jacobs should be able to play on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8 unless he suffers a setback with his calf later this week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting another two-touchdown performance, but Jacobs is a no-doubt, must-start fantasy RB in Green Bay as long as he's active.
