The Green Bay Packers will host the Chicago Bears in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Josh Jacobs.
Is Josh Jacobs Playing in Week 14?
Jacobs is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jacobs in Week 14?
We saw Emanuel Wilson fill the Jacobs role admirably in Week 12. Still, the Packers showed no interest in making this a committee situation with their RB1 recovered from the leg injury.
Green Bay opened Thanksgiving with a heavy serving of Jacobs (four carries on their first six plays), and he finished with 83 yards on 17 carries (Wilson had four for 14). The win over the Lions was the eighth time this season that he’s cleared 15 carries, and his 29-yard run was his longest of the season.
All systems go. It appears that your RB1 is poised to carry a top 10 role into the fantasy postseason, and with them in the thick of the NFC playoff arms race, you can count on plus-production moving forward.
Jacobs scored in both Bear games last season while picking up five yards per carry.
