Josh Jacobs rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, adding in six catches for 13 yards and another touchdown during Thursday's 27-19 win over the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Jacobs got a whopping 27 touches in a workhorse effort for the Packers on Thursday, but he only managed 52 total yards on them. He managed to score both on the ground and through the air, though, leaving fantasy managers happy if they went with him. The Packers have not been able to run the ball with any consistency this season, but Jacobs will get every opportunity to produce, it seems. He's best viewed as a TD-dependent RB2 in standard leagues.
Josh Jacobs rushed the ball 11 times for 36 yards and caught 5-of-7 targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Sunday was the first game back for Jacobs after he missed the start of the season while on the Commissioner's Exempt List. He wasn't effective on the ground in his first game back, but he made his hay through the air with five catches, 55 yards, and a touchdown on the day. He should be a viable RB2 over the course of the back half of the season as he continues to knock the rust off after so much time off.
Josh Jacobs (suspension) is officially active for Week 7 for the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Jacobs will make his season debut after being placed on the commissioners exempt list in the summer, looking to boost a Green Bay ground attack that has struggled up until this point.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he is undecided on whether or not Josh Jacobs will play in Week 7 against the Lions.
Fantasy Impact

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is being removed from the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt list on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Schefter notes the investigation will remain open for the NFL so it "reserves the right to add further discipline if and when warranted." For now, Jacobs will be eligible to return in Week 7. He'll likely be eased back by the Packers.
