Josh Jacobs vs. Carolina: Primed for Lead Workload in Lambeau Debut

After returning from the exempt list, Jacobs reclaimed lead duties last week, logging 11 carries and catching five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Uncontested atop Green Bay's depth chart, he now prepares for his 2026 Lambeau Field debut on Thursday night against Carolina.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as his start rate has climbed to 87%. Our weekly projection anticipates 15 carries for 62 yards and 15.8 fantasy points. Despite recent injuries to the interior offensive line, Green Bay is favored at home in a solid scoring environment, making Jacobs a locked-in starter.

Mason Taylor vs. Raiders — Red-Zone Surge Sparks Streaming Appeal

Fresh off a two-touchdown breakout against Miami, Mason Taylor enters Week 8 with growing momentum in New York's passing game. Operating as the primary tight end, Taylor has earned 12 targets over his last two contests, securing nine receptions for 95 yards while proving to be a dangerous red-zone target.

That recent surge makes him an intriguing pickup, though our weekly projection expects a modest baseline near 2.5 catches for 22 yards against Las Vegas. With roster rates sitting around five percent, Taylor profiles as an opportunistic streaming play whose fantasy ceiling hinges on converting inside the 20-yard line.
