Josh Jacobs Cleared for Practice Ahead of High-Scoring Clash in Detroit

Jacobs was officially removed from the commissioner's exempt list and returned to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup at Ford Field. While he sits atop the Packers' running back depth chart, head coach Matt LaFleur stressed that his game-day availability remains to be determined as he ramps back up following a six-game layoff.

Green Bay's struggling ground attack desperately needs his presence in this projected shootout, but our weekly projections currently sit at zero fantasy points reflecting his uncertain status. Fantasy managers should check back frequently for practice updates, but Jacobs is best left on fantasy benches until his active status and role are fully verified.

Devaughn Vele vs. PIT in Paris — Consistent Slot Role Offers High-Floor FLEX Value

Vele continues to serve as an intermediate staple for New Orleans, operating as the primary slot receiver alongside Chris Olave. He has commanded 12 targets across his last two games, solidifying consistent involvement in the offense as the Saints travel overseas to take on Pittsburgh.

Rostered in 86% of leagues and started in 44%, Vele profiles as a dependable WR3 or flex option in PPR formats. Our models project roughly 3.7 receptions on nearly six targets for 39 receiving yards (10.1 fantasy points), giving fantasy managers a stable floor despite modest big-play potential.
