Josh Jacobs Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is a non-participant at practice on Wednesday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Jacobs did not take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday, either, but he intends to play through his knee issue again in a crucial Week 16 divisional rematch against the Chicago Bears this Saturday night. The 27-year-old has been battling a knee injury since Week 11, and he sat out the Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He was questionable going into last Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, but he ultimately played and had a rushing and receiving touchdown. Jacobs is also listed with an ankle injury, but his knee is the more serious ailment. He might not end up practicing much, if at all, this week, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to go on Saturday. Still, Emanuel Wilson isn't a bad speculative waiver-wire pickup in case Jacobs is ruled out. Jacobs has been a must-start RB1 in fantasy all year with 14 total touchdowns in 13 games, but he's literally limping to the finish line.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee), who was walking with a significant limp in the locker room while wearing a stimulation bracelet around his injured knee, made it clear on Tuesday that he "intends to play in Chicago" on Saturday against the division-rival Bears, per Ryan Wood of USA Today Sports. "For me, it's harder to watch games than it is to play hurt," Jacobs said. The 27-year-old played through a questionable tag in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos and had 12 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 19 yards and the second receiving TD of his career. It's an injury he's been dealing with since Nov. 16 against the New York Giants. Jacobs missed the following game but has been active each of the last three weeks. All signs point to him being active in Chicago, where he'll be a must-start RB1 in fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) took another big hit in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, and if the team were practicing on Tuesday, he would not be on the field, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Jacobs went into Sunday's game in Denver with a questionable tag, but he ended up suiting up while scoring two touchdowns, including just the second receiving score of his career. The 27-year-old had 12 carries for 73 yards and a TD on the ground, adding two receptions on three targets for 19 yards and a second score. Jacobs only played 55% of the offensive snaps, but he was still effective, busting a 40-yard touchdown run while also catching a 14-yard pass for an impressive TD in the back of the end zone. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he misses more practice time this week, but he should be active for another big divisional contest against the Bears this Sunday, where he'll be a must-start fantasy RB. Jacobs had 20 carries for 86 yards and a TD in the win over Chicago two weeks ago.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a touchdown machine this season, and that continued in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. He handled 12 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown to go with two receptions (three targets) for 19 yards and his first receiving touchdown of the season. Jacobs entered the game as a game-time decision with a knee injury, but he showed no signs of being affected by it. He recorded just the second receiving touchdown of his career, and it came on an impressive contested catch in the corner of the end zone. The 27-year-old running back notched his fourth game with multiple touchdowns and seventh since joining the Packers last season. Jacobs remains one of the most steady workhorses in fantasy football and projects as a strong RB1 next week against the division-rival Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) will be active for Sunday's contest with the hosting Denver Broncos, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jacobs has been dealing with a knee injury since Week 11, though he's missed just one appearance because of it. Despite being tagged with two DNPs leading up to this weekend's outing, the 27-year-old will suit up and should be slated for his usual workhorse role against the Broncos. Fortunately for Green Bay, second-string rusher Emanuel Wilson (illness) is also expected to play, meaning the team's ground game will be at full strength against the league's second-best rush defense. Even with the injury, Jacobs is a high-floor RB2 option in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Denver Broncos, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Jacobs had been listed as questionable after missing two of his three practices in the past week. While the Packers want to keep him fresh and acknowledge that they have another game in just six days, the team plans to have Jacobs available for Week 15, barring any sort of pregame setback. This is good news for fantasy managers, because Jacobs has been an RB1 this season and will provide major scoring upside as the playoffs get underway in many fantasy leagues. He ranks as the overall RB13 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Jacobs was held out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee issue, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, giving him a chance to play. The 27-year-old has been one of the NFL's most consistent running backs so far this season. Across 12 games, Jacobs has logged 206 carries for 817 yards and 12 touchdowns. If active in Week 15, Jacobs will face a difficult matchup in the Broncos' defense. Entering Sunday, Denver ranks first among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.7) and second in total rushing yards allowed (1,157). Jacobs has proven the ability to find the end zone against pretty much every unit he has matched up against so far this season. However, the Denver defense, combined with a potentially limited workload due to the knee injury, should likely lead fantasy managers to slightly downgrade expectations. If active, Jacobs profiles as a high-end fantasy RB2 in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially questionable to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Week 15. Jacobs suffered a knee injury in Week 11 against the New York Giants and was held out in Week 12 as a precaution. The 27-year-old only missed one game, though, and handled his normal workhorse role the last two weeks, with 37 rushing attempts for 169 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Jacobs' knee stiffened up on him on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, though, prompting him to undergo an MRI exam. Tests have thankfully turned up negative for any structural damage, but his status for Week 15 is in question. It creates a difficult decision for fantasy managers this weekend, especially since the Packers and Broncos square off in the late window on Sunday. Jacobs has been a must-start RB1 in fantasy in 2025 with 12 touchdowns in 12 games, but he could be at less than full strength against a Broncos defense that allows the second-fewest rushing yards per game (89). Emanuel Wilson is worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup in case Jacobs is ruled out entirely on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back Josh Jacobs (knee) will practice in a limited fashion on Friday after missing the last two days, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "It sounds like he's feeling pretty good," LaFleur said. The Packers must still see how Jacobs' knee is feeling after the workout, but the star RB at least has a chance to play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. The 27-year-old injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants and was held out the following week, but he has played the last two games while handling his normal workhorse role, carrying the ball 37 times for 169 rushing yards and a touchdown. However, Jacobs' knee stiffened up during the win over the Bears on Sunday, putting his availability in question for Week 15. The good news is that he's not dealing with any structural damage. The bad news is that he could share more work with Emanuel Wilson on Sunday if he's active.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee), who missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday, said his knee stiffened up during the second half of Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs had another scan on his knee on Monday, and everything is structurally intact. Despite not having practiced yet this week, he's calling himself day-to-day ahead of Sunday's clash in Denver against the Broncos. The 27-year-old initially injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium, forcing him to miss Week 12. He has handled 37 carries for 169 yards and a touchdown while catching three passes for 14 yards in the last two games in his usual lead-back role. Jacobs is trending toward being questionable for Week 15, but fantasy managers would feel a lot better if he can practice on Friday. Emanuel Wilson might be worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup in case Jacobs cannot go this weekend.
