Jacobs rushed the ball 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added three receptions on three targets for 40 yards.
Jacobs was the driving force behind Green Bay's comeback attempt in the second half, with the highlight being an impressive 32-yard touchdown run at the close of the third quarter. He also chipped in long receptions of 15 and 14 yards to close his campaign on a strong note. After posting a career-best 16 touchdowns while tallying 1,671 yards from scrimmage during the regular season, Jacobs will almost certainly be back to lead the backfield for the Packers in 2025.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Scores 15th rushing TD in finale
Rotowire
Jacobs rushed six times for 44 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Jacobs extended his touchdown streak to eight games with his 15th rushing touchdown of the season on a nine-yard run in the second quarter. That play capped Jacobs' first regular season in Green Bay, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks handled backfield duties the rest of the way. Jacobs rushed 301 times for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 36 catches for 342 yards and his first career receiving touchdown on 43 targets in the regular season. The seventh-seeded Packers will travel to Philadelphia in the wild-card round.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: No injury designation
Rotowire
Jacobs (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Jacobs never seemed in real danger of missing the game and figures to occupy his usual role as Green Bay's workhorse. There is some chance of his usage eventually being scaled back, however, as the team's chances to move up from the seventh seed to No. 6 depend on the Cowboys beating the Commanders in a game that takes place at the same time as Green Bay's. In other words, the Packers may start to pull starters if it looks like a victory won't help them avoid a first-round trip to Philadelphia.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Another limited session
Rotowire
Jacobs (wrist) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Jacobs opened Week 18 prep with a limited walkthrough Wednesday and maintained that activity level a day later, giving him one more chance to get back to full participation Friday or else risk entering the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bears. In his first meeting with Chicago this season, Jacobs went for 134 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 22 touches back in Week 11.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Limited by wrist injury
Rotowire
Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a wrist injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
His ability to participate in any capacity for the first practice of the week suggests Jacobs likely will play Sunday against the Bears. Green Bay is only playing for the difference between the Nos. 6 and 7 seeds in the NFC playoffs in Week 18, but that doesn't mean the game will be treated different from any other.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Rare miscue in loss to Vikings
Rotowire
Jacobs rushed the ball 17 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers. He also lost a fumble.
The Packers got off to a slow start offensively, and Jacobs played a key role in that by losing a fumble on the team's opening possession. He made up for the miscue later in the contest with a two-yard touchdown plunge, his 15th score of the campaign. Jacobs has now found the end zone in seven consecutive games, making him one of the most consistent fantasy performers at the position.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Accounts for 136 yards in win
Rotowire
Jacobs rushed 26 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. He also lost a fumble.
Jacobs was involved from the get-go with 44 scrimmage yards on seven carries and two catches on the opening drive, which concluded with a one-yard touchdown run. He finished the first half with 17 touches for 111 yards but struggled after halftime. Jacobs went backward in the third quarter with four carries for minus-5 yards, then fumbled in the fourth. He racked up some more yardage as the Packers kept the clock running with the lead but was stuffed on fourth-and-2 with 5:55 left. Jacobs came six rushing yards shy of his fourth 100-yard rushing performance, but he's up to 12 rushing touchdowns in 14 games with the Packers and will look to add to that total against the Saints in a Monday night matchup in Week 16.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Puts in limited practice
Rotowire
Jacobs (calf) was a limited practice participant Tuesday.
The Packers have listed Jacobs as a limited participant on both of their first two Week 14 injury reports, but head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't offered any indications that the star running back is at risk of missing Thursday's game at Detroit. Jacobs could just be getting some extra maintenance for his calf after logging at least 15 touches in each of Green Bay's last eight games.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Dealing with calf injury
Rotowire
Jacobs was a limited participant at Monday's practice due to a calf injury.
Jacobs has strung together five consecutive games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, a stretch in which he's accumulated 112 touches for 590 total yards and seven rushing touchdowns. As the Packers gear up for Thursday's contest at Detroit, he's tending to a health concern, so his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Totals 117 yards
Rotowire
Jacobs rushed the ball 19 times for 43 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins. He added four receptions on four targets for 74 yards.
Jacobs was inefficient on the ground, though he punched in a one-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to pad his performance. He also chipped in as a receiver, highlighted by a long 49-yard catch and run midway through the fourth quarter. Overall, Jacobs found the end zone for the fourth time in his last five games and has topped 100 yards from scrimmage in each of those contests.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Overcomes cramping to score thrice
Rotowire
Jacobs rushed 26 times for 106 yards and three touchdowns without recording a reception in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.
Jacobs gave fantasy managers a scare when he limped off the field after scoring his second touchdown of the contest. Fortunately, Green Bay's leading rusher was only dealing with cramping and was able to return and finish off the victory. Jacobs added four more rushing attempts and a third score following his brief exit, assuring those rostering the tailback that he avoided a potential stint on the sidelines. The three-score effort helped the bruising rusher surpass his season rushing and touchdown totals from last year in two fewer games since joining the Packers. Expect a well-hydrated Jacobs to be a key part of Green Bay's attack against Miami on Thanksgiving.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Back in Sunday's game
Rotowire
Jacobs (cramps) returned to Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
After scoring his second TD of the game with 4:28 left in the third quarter, Jacobs went to the locker room and was considered questionable to return due to cramps. He missed the Packers' next offensive possession but got back on the field early in the fourth quarter, eclipsing 100 yards on the ground on his 23 carry of the game.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Departs due to cramping Sunday
Rotowire
Jacobs is dealing with cramps during Sunday's game against the 49ers.
After scoring his second touchdown of the contest with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter from one-yard out, Jacobs ran to the locker room and was deemed questionable to return shortly thereafter. Jacobs had 22 carries for 99 yards and the pair of end-zone visits at the time of his exit. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the other running backs available on the Packers' game-day roster.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Jacobs (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Listed with lower-body injuries more often than not, Jacobs has yet to miss a game this season, averaging 17.6 carries for 83.8 yards and 2.3 catches for 18.6 yards. A total of five TDs in 10 games is somewhat disappointing relative to his yardage, but he's scored all five of those within the past six contests after failing to hit pay dirt over the first month of the season. The upcoming matchup looks more favorable than a date with the 49ers typically would be, as the Packers are considerable favorites against a team that's missing a bunch of key players, including QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) and DE Nick Bosa (hip).

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Another limited showing
Rotowire
Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) was limited in practice Thursday.
A pair of lower-body injuries have resulted in a cap on Jacobs' reps so far this week. The Packers may clear up his status upon posting their final practice report of the week Friday, but assuming he's able to suit up Sunday against the 49ers, he should be good for his typical 19.9 touches per game.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Dealing with dual health concerns
Rotowire
Jacobs was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to quadricep and calf injuries, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Jacobs operated with a cap on his practice reps last week due to a quad issue, but it didn't stop him from avoiding a designation ahead of this past Sunday's game at Chicago. Overall, he handled 22 touches in the 20-19 win and turned them into 134 yards from scrimmage and one rushing score. Jacobs now has another health concern to deal with, though, so his listing on injury reports Thursday and Friday should be telling for his odds to continue operating as the Packers' No. 1 back on Sunday against the 49ers.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Jacobs' lack of touchdowns and tough matchup should limit his rostership, but he projects as one of my best values on the main slate. He's averaging 19.9 touches per game and 5.1 yards per touch. He's also scored four times in his last four games, so don't worry about the fact that he didn't score early in the season.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Robust production in win
Rotowire
Jacobs rushed 18 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 58 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Jacobs saw his usual workload on the ground, logging under 20 carries for the fifth time in the last six games. As customary, the versatile veteran was efficient with his opportunities while setting a new season high in receiving yards. Jacobs also scored his third rushing touchdown in the last three games on a seven-yard run just past the midway point of the third quarter, making it a productive all-around fantasy day for him in the narrow divisional win. The offseason addition will carry a four-game streak of at least 76 rushing yards into a Week 12 home showdown against the 49ers.

Jacobs (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Jacobs now has put together back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 11 prep. The same can be said for rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd, who remains on injured reserve, due to ankle and hamstring issues. Friday's practice report may provide some clarity on the status of both players ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Remains limited in practice
Rotowire
Jacobs (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Coming out of a bye, Jacobs is tending to a quad injury that has resulted in his reps being capped in the Packers' first two Week 11 practices. Head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't yet indicated that the quad issue is anything that will threaten Jacobs' availability for Sunday's game against the Bears, but the running back may need to put in a full practice Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.
