Fantasy Football News and Rumors

This is rapidly turning into a strange football season...

Josh Jacobs (illness) is not traveling with the team to Nashville.​

He's officially listed as questionable with an illness. This also doesn't mean that the Raiders won't bring him over Saturday or something. But this would seem like a pretty big sign that he's not going to be playing on Sunday against the Titans. Zamir White, Brandon Bolden, or a committee? That's the question for fantasy purposes if Jacobs is indeed not going to suit up on Sunday.

Well that's going to put a kink in for some owners and maybe help others.

I'm not sure who it will help other than the guys playing against Jacobs because I'm not so sure anybody feels confident enough to start Zamir White in his absence. I honestly just think they didn't have him fly with everybody else because he was sick so they are going to send him on a different flight tomorrow, but I could be crazy.

Yeah mostly just help those who are playing against Jacob, because like you I won't want to start Zamir.

In D2 I'm starting Zamir.

Not like I had a choice, I was gonna start him anyway!

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Josh Jacobs (illness) traveled to Tennessee on Saturday.​

Jacobs traveled and is listed as questionable. It was previously reported that Jacobs failed to travel with the team to Tennessee out of an abundance of caution, with the team not wanting him to infect other players before Sunday. The simple fact that Jacobs traveled to the site of the game should be an indication that he plans to play on Sunday. He'll face an underperforming Titans defense that has ceded 169.5 yards per game on the ground through two weeks.

I hate the reporting on these. IR isn't always the full season now

Start beasley this week? Brady has sucked and his top 5 WRs are out, but a welker type could do the trick.

I'm sure he'll have a nice catch or two (might be a record for combined age) but I don't think he'll be in on a lot of packages yet.

SPN's Adam Schefter reports Julio Jones (knee) is a game-time decision for Week 3 against the Bucs.​

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Breshad Perriman (knee) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Packers.​

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Russell Gage (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Packers.​

SPN's Adam Schefter reports Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to likely play in Week 3 against the Packers.​

SPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Chargers' medical staff has encouraged Justin Herbert (ribs) to take the "long view."​

Herbert is reportedly contemplating getting a pain-killing injection in his ribs to play in Week 3. He suffered fractured cartilage in his ribs last week and is currently considered a game-time decision. It sounds like the Chargers' medical team wants him to sit and allow the injury to heal, but Herbert is pushing to play through the pain. Per Mortensen, "The cartilage injury can last several weeks or several months." For fantasy managers sweating out LA's inactives list, Jimmy Garoppolo is a widely-available pivot in the event Herbert is ultimately ruled out after the first slate of games kicks off.

Pulled a lot of Doubs off waivers last night from different positions across my leagues, don't feel like others were taking a stab. Looked like Rodgers favorite on Sunday, did I overestimate his role?

Not expecting more than flex help from Doubs on any of those teams

think you made the right move. He was not available in any of my leagues.

Well I lost because I didn't pick him up last week. I used my prized 3rd waiver position to get him. Thought he'd go to the guys with 1st or 2nd claim. So I'm with you.

Basically only get a single waiver claim a season in this league with the way this group hoardes them. So Doubs was my shot at making a difference on my team this year. Hell I liked him way back in the draft so I'm expecting Aaron to ride.

I dropped him before the game last week in my keep-6 league.

I was offered DK for my Freiermuth and accepted… so I had to pick up a TE. Could have dropped Josh Palmer, but I chose Doubs. Might have been a mistake.
