Who Should I Start? Ronald Jones or Josh Jacobs

Monday, September 18, 7:43 PM

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Ronald Jones on Monday, the team announced. Jones was eligible to return to the active 53-man roster on Monday after serving a two-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, but the Cowboys have opted to go in another direction. The 26-year-old will now be hoping to latch on with another organization to provide some backfield depth. Tony Pollard is the team's clear-cut starter, with Rico Dowdle and rookies Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke backing him up in the running back room. Jones shouldn't be rostered in single-year fantasy leagues right now.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season, and that remains the case as the Packers travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants in Week 11. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard game this season and averages just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the one constant this season for the Packers' offense. Against the New York Giants, who are last in the NFL in defensive EPA per rush attempt, Jacobs is a no-brainer lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.
