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 (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs suffered a knee contusion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 11 win over the New York Giants and has been limited in practice this week as a result. The 27-year-old has recorded 885 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns on 197 touches across 10 games this season and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back against Minnesota if he's cleared to play. If Jacobs were out, Packers running back Emanuel Wilson would likely get the majority of Green Bay's backfield touches in Week 12. Third-year back Chris Brooks could factor into the mix as well. Wilson has recorded 289 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 64 touches so far this season and would profile as a low-end fantasy RB2 if Jacobs is inactive against Minnesota.
