Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs rushed the ball six times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

The Packers made sure to limit Jacobs' workload on Sunday, as they were attempting to keep him fresh and healthy for the playoffs. He was still able to play well in his limited work, averaging 7.3 yards per carry and finding the end zone early on in the game. He finished the season as a top-five running back in .5 PPR formats, so fantasy managers should be well pleased with how his first season in Green Bay went.

Josh Jacobs (wrist) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs will be available to play in Week 18. He was listed on the injury report earlier in the week due to a wrist injury, but he carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. He should play but is expected to see less work than usual with Green Bay looking to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs said he will not see his standard complement of touches in Week 18 in the team's regular season closer.

This is not a surprising development, as it was likely expected, but it's surprising to hear directly from the source. Green Bay could see a change in their seeding, but it's not fully under their control. Jacobs said he won't get "that many carries in this game. … I'm going to push to play, and I'm playing. But I don't see myself taking 30 carries." He said that as long as the other starters are out, particularly QB Jordan Love, he intends to play. In his place, there may be more opportunities for young RBs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (wrist) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs will have two more practice sessions to avoid an injury designation for the Packers' Week 18 matchup with Chicago. With the Packers only playing for playoff seeding, they will likely be cautious with their key players in the regular season finale.

Josh Jacobs ran for 69 yards and a score on 17 carries in the Packers' 27-25 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs curiously was not targeted after seeing two consecutive games of at least four targets. The last time he failed to have any receiving work, he scored three touchdowns on the ground against the Lions, so it ultimately didn't impact his fantasy day that much. It's not what fantasy managers had hoped for during championship week, but it was a solid outing against a stiff run defense.
