Josh Jacobs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He told the media afterward that he’ll be fine for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. We’ll keep an eye on him over the next few days, but Jacobs can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs ran the ball 25 times for 127 yards and 2 TDs over the Jaguars. With QB Jordan Love being knocked out with a groin injury, Jacobs carried the offense in the win.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs finally caught his first career TD pass in Sunday's win over the Texans. That marked one of his 5 receptions for 16 yards. Jacobs finished second on the team in catches and scored from 8 yards out in the middle of the third quarter.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs managed just 43 yards on 14 carries in the Week 3 win over the Titans. Only one of his runs went for more than six yards. Jacobs had another four carries for 39 yards negated by penalties. It was an even more frustrating game for fantasy owners because No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson ripped off 85 total yards and a TD on 14 total touches. That was only one fewer touch than Jacobs finished with.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. We’re tentatively expecting him back for next weekend’s divisional game vs. the Vikings but will continue to keep a close eye on his progress. QB Malik Willis gets another start today. The Packers threw just 14 passes vs. 53 runs with Willis at the helm last week. Expect another run-heavy attack today (although probably not that extreme).

ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hear that Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Titans today. Love got in three limited practices this week, and Rapoport confirms that he has a good chance to return in Week 4. We've been projecting Willis to start against Tennessee all week, so there are no changes to our Week 3 Rankings. Expect another run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He put in three limited practices this weekend. HC Matt LaFleur hinted Friday that Love still hasn’t been medically cleared to play. We’re still tentatively expecting QB Malik Willis to get another start on Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on Love’s status.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) "has a chance" to play vs. the Titans this weekend, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays this week,” a Packers source told Schefter. “It’s definitely day-by-day like he said, and 50-50 at best right now.” Love was officially limited in Wednesday's practice.

The Packers are placing RB MarShawn Lloyd on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Colts, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That was Lloyd's debut after missing most of August and Week 1 with hip and hamstring injuries. The rookie is now out another four games. At this point, it's tough to imagine him being a fantasy factor this season, even if RB Josh Jacobs goes down.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs ended with a final stat line of 32 carries for 151 yards, but no receptions in the game. The offense was put on Jacobs shoulders early running the ball 20 times in the first half for 128 yards. He did have a fumble at the goal line, giving the ball away to the Colts.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Colts. The rookie is not a fantasy option in his debut, but we’ll be curious to see how many snaps he plays compared to RB Emanuel Wilson. Lloyd remains the preferred handcuff to Josh Jacobs.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is targeting a Week 5 return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Though there is a chance he beats that goal," Rapoport adds.

Packers RB rookie MarShawn Lloyd will make his NFL debut this week as the Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts. Lloyd missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury that had ailed him for much of the preseason. He is presumed to be the back-up to RB Josh Jacobs.

The Packers are not placing QB Jordan Love (knee) on IR, HC Matt LaFleur said. That means the team believes there's a good chance that Love misses fewer than four games. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Love's "initial timetable" for return was 3-6 weeks. It sounds like he's trending toward the short end of that span.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Jordan Love's "initial timetable" for return is 3-6 weeks. "And there's some early optimism he could return sooner than later, pending a second opinion," Pelissero adds. Green Bay's bye isn't until Week 10, so that shouldn't factor into Love's return date. It sounds like we should plan on him missing at least the next three games vs. Indianapolis, at Tennessee, and vs. Minnesota. It's worth noting that the Packers medical staff has historically been cautious in bringing players back from injury.

Packers QB Jordan Love has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. There's no damage to Love's ACL. It's relatively good news, but Rapoport confirms that Love "should miss some time." We'll look for a timetable for his return.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Eagles. The rookie missed a ton of time this summer and won’t be a factor in the short term. RB Emanuel Wilson (hip) and practice-squad call-up RB Ellis Merriweather are active behind RB Josh Jacobs, who figures to dominate touches tonight.

Packers RBs MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) are listed as questionable for Friday night's opener vs. the Eagles. Both guys got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and figure to be active tomorrow. But neither is likely to play a big role. RB Josh Jacobs is a good bet to dominate touches against Philly. He sits 10th in the Week 1 RB Rankings.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) was on the field in pads for Sunday's practice. The rookie missed the majority of August with hip and hamstring injuries but is seemingly on track to be available for Friday night's opener vs. the Eagles.

The Packers have placed RB A.J. Dillon on IR. He was not designated to return, meaning his 2024 season is over. This is presumably related to the stinger that had Dillon sidelined recently.
