Josh Jacobs Set For Surgery, Could Miss Time
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured finger and will miss a "maximum of 3 weeks," CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reports. It's unclear if Jacobs has a chance to play against the Vikings this Sunday, but fantasy managers should make plans to be without him. RB MarShawn Lloyd hurt his knee in practice last week and missed the Patriots game, which left the backfield to Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong. Johnson took 14 carries for 68 yards and a score but wasn't targeted. Strong carried 8 times for 22 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards. We'll see about Lloyd's status, as well as RB Chris Brooks, who was designated to return from IR last week. But this running game has been ineffective all season, and Week 10 brings a matchup against the league's second-ranked RB defense by adjusted fantasy points allowed. It's a situation to try to avoid in fantasy lineups.
