Josh Jacobs vs. CHI — Sidelined on Exempt List with No Imminent Return
Jacobs remains out indefinitely on the Commissioner Exempt list following a misdemeanor battery conviction, with reports noting an imminent return is not expected. With Jacobs out for Week 5 against the Bears, Green Bay will lean on depth options like Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd to shoulder the backfield workload.
Our weekly projection assigns him 0.0 fantasy points, making him an obvious benching across all formats. Rostered in 90% of fantasy leagues after handling 253 carries for the Packers in 2025, he remains a speculative stash for patient managers, but check back often for updates on his legal situation and league discipline.

Ollie Gordon vs CIN — Emerging lead back with surging fantasy value
With De'Von Achane lost for the season to a torn ACL, Gordon has seized lead-back duties on Miami's depth chart alongside Jaylen Wright. The second-year back made the most of his opportunities against Minnesota, racking up 100 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, fueled by a 53-yard run.
His roster rate quickly jumped to 88% following the injury, establishing him as an intriguing flex option against Cincinnati. Our projection model pegs him for roughly 9.8 fantasy points on eight carries and a couple of targets, though his red-zone role offers sneaky upside if Miami keeps it close.
