Fowler: Jacobs could face 4-6 game suspension
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Josh Jacobs faces a potential 4-6 game suspension after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges; he remains on the commissioner’s exempt list and will miss Week 2, with his court appearance scheduled for November.
- Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) will miss Week 2 for the Commanders, weakening their tight end group, while LB Frankie Luvu (groin) is also ruled out; fantasy managers are advised to avoid this tight end room despite a favorable matchup.
- Joe Burrow (back tightness) is cleared to play in Week 2 against the Texans, expected to perform as a high-end QB1 after returning to full practice participation.
- Cooper Rush is expected to start at quarterback for the Falcons in Week 2, which downgrades the fantasy outlook for Falcons receivers Drake London and Kyle Pitts due to Rush’s struggles and a likely run-heavy game plan.
- Injuries continue to impact teams with Zay Flowers returning to practice but questionable for Week 2, Nico Collins likely sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Steelers cornerback Joey Porter’s contract and injury issues putting his future with the team in doubt.
