Outlook Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs vs DAL — Sidelined One Final Week Ahead of Looming Return

Jacobs remains officially out for Sunday night's matchup against Dallas while finishing out his time on the Commissioner Exempt List. However, the NFL confirmed he will be removed from the list on Monday, clearing the path for him to immediately reclaim Green Bay's lead backfield role next week in Detroit.

Because he is unavailable this week, our models project him for 0.0 fantasy points, making him an obvious bench stash. Roster rates remain high at over 96%, and with backup Chris Brooks also on injured reserve, Jacobs is primed to step directly into a featured workload in Week 7. Fantasy managers should prepare to start him next week.

Outlook Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley Ruled Out for Week 6 Against Carolina

Philadelphia has officially ruled Saquon Barkley out for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury. Barkley was unable to log any practice participation throughout the week, leaving the Eagles with a depleted backfield as backups Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley are also sidelined.

With our weekly projection set at 0.0 fantasy points, fantasy managers need to bench Barkley or slide him into an IR spot for Week 6. His start rate has dropped to 17% following the announcement, but he remains an elite RB1 to stash. Keep an eye on reports next week and check back often for updates on his return timetable.
