LaFleur confirms surgery for Jacobs, IR possible

LaFleur confirms surgery for Jacobs, IR possible

NBC Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Packers RB Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured finger this week, with a potential stint on injured reserve not ruled out; he had no grip strength and cannot play through the injury, sidelining him for the foreseeable future.
  • Jacobs has faced multiple allegations of domestic violence, with the NFL continuing its investigation; despite being removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List, the league is reviewing new claims and whether Jacobs was forthcoming about the initial allegations.
  • The Packers will rely on MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong, and Kaleb Johnson to lead the backfield in Jacobs' absence, but all are considered low-trust fantasy options against the Vikings in Week 10.
  • The Minnesota Vikings struggled offensively in their Week 9 loss to the Bills, with poor quarterback play from Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer; key receivers Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Justin Jefferson had limited production, leaving fantasy managers uncertain ahead of the trade deadline.
  • Buffalo Bills players DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Khalil Shakir showed mixed fantasy value in Week 9 against the Vikings, with Kincaid and Knox primarily serving blocking roles, while Moore and Shakir offered moderate receiving yards but remain inconsistent fantasy options.
