Josh Jacobs

There are two ways to look at last week's performance by Jacobs. The first is that he faced the Broncos defense, and managed his third-highest fantasy points of the season. However, it was a rollercoaster to get there. Not only was he questionable to play up until Sunday morning, but he also played his second fewest snaps of the season. On top of this, he had his fewest rushing attempts in a full game all season, which is likely an outcome of not being fully healthy. Since this knee injury has been lingering, it is fair to assume he won't be fully healthy for the rest of the season. Despite playing his lowest snaps and receiving his fewest rush attempts in a game, he came through with his longest rushing touchdown of the season (40 yards) and his first receiving touchdown of the season. Together, it was clear that the fantasy gods were smiling down on Jacobs' managers last week. As a result, he is still a must-play in Week 16 against the Bears, but managers would like to see his usage increase to feel confident trusting him as an RB1.

Josh Jacobs did not practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs is continuing to play through multiple injuries after getting banged up again last week against the Broncos. He is still expected to play on Saturday against the Bears.
