Expert takes
“Tank Bigsby was placed on IR, and Saquon Barkley was projected to be out and is. Barkley’s timeline isn’t clear, but Shipley has a brutal matchup this week. Jacksonville has allowed the fourth-fewest half-PPR points per game to running backs (14.3) this season, holding them to only 47.5 rushing yards per game and 2.84 yards per carry.”
Josh Shepardson· Oct 10, 2026“Through four games, Barkley has just 182 rushing yards, eight receiving yards and zero touchdowns, good for roughly 23 total PPR points. That’s the kind of production you’d be disappointed to get from your FLEX player, let alone your first-round pick. To make matters worse, Barkley left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury after just two carries, adding durability to the growing list of concerns.”
Tim Brosnan· Oct 6, 2026“The offense still looks broken.” – Shaun Ireland ( FantasyPros ) “ Saquon Barkley gets a short-week matchup against the Rams, who have allowed only 14.4 half-PPR points per game to running backs so far this year, the 7th stingiest matchup, but the bigger red flag is that Barkley is slumping independent of any matchup… he’s averaging -2.1 fantasy points versus expectation this season. Stacking a tough run defense on top of an already underperforming workload on a team with major offensive struggles in a short week is a quadruple negative, not a single data point that regression can easily fix.”

“News Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley are considered week-to-week with lower-body injuries.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026“With a soft schedule for running backs the rest of the way, Barkley is a guy I’d be hunting for. The fantasy points will start flowing soon; he won’t stay down like this for long. If I could turn a receiver like Rashee Rice into Barkley, I’d be a happy camper.” – Wolf Trelles-Heard ( FantasyPros )”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 23, 2026“Best Bet: Saquon Barkley to Lead the NFL in Rushing Yards (+1000) Saquon Barkley is my value candidate who may be underpriced despite his clear path to volume.”
Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2, 2026“Saquon Barkley had a down season in 2025, but he is still a dynamic workhorse who could easily have a bounce-back season with coordinator Sean Mannion at the helm of the offense.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Sep 2, 2026“Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) Yes, last season was pretty awful for Saquon Barkley and those who drafted him, but the warning signs were there. Barkley had an absurd number of touches in 2024.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 29, 2026“In a standard scoring league, Saquon Barkley was the smart move, especially since six running backs went in the first nine picks. 2.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 23, 2026“I think Barkley could have a bounce-back year, and he is being underrated. After he was going 1.01 in drafts, most fantasy owners will rightfully feel burned by him this year.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11, 2026“After an insane 2024 season, Saquon Barkley was poised to come back down to earth some in 2025.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 7, 2026“Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) After running laps around the position in 2024, Saquon Barkley’s finish of RB14 was a shock. Despite only missing one game, he scored 214 fantasy points compared to the 339 points he scored in 2024.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 17, 2026“Given the season he had in 2024 and the expectations created for gamers, Barkley may have produced the most disappointing 1,413-yard, 9-touchdown season in history. Regression was certainly expected coming off his historic run the year before, and a lot went wrong for this offense.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 7, 2026
“Josh Jacobs, Green Bay (78% rostered) The video tape evidence against Josh Jacobs is set to be released to the NFL at some point. He won’t play again this season. MarShawn Lloyd, Green Bay (72% rostered) The Packers gambled that the above would not be true, and lost.”
Jeff Krisko· Sep 29, 2026“The Packers’ pass rate in the absence of Josh Jacobs is also a big reason for their success. The Packers ranked 28th in pass rate last season at 52%, and have jumped to second in pass rate this season at 66.7%, behind the Houston Texans . Golden’s stock dropped over the course of the 2025 season as he was never a focal point of Green Bay’s offense.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 23, 2026“Insiders believe that Jacobs could be back as early as Week 5 once the NFL clears his suspension review, with time on the NFI list counting as time toward any suspension. With a murky committee in place for the next couple of weeks, there is absolutely no reason to chase anyone in this backfield on the waiver wire. Conclusion: Avoid the Green Bay committee; Chris Brooks is a snap-share mirage, and Josh Jacobs will reclaim his kingdom soon.”

“Jacobs was originally booked on five charges, including strangulation, but instead faced reduced charges of misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. Generally speaking, the NFL has a six-game minimum suspension length for incidents of domestic violence. Jacobs, 28, was selected with the No. 24 overall pick by the Raiders out of Alabama in 2019.”
Logan Ulrich· Sep 13, 2026“5% Josh Jacobs is on the commissioner’s exempt list, which suddenly puts Lloyd in position to lead GB’s backfield with limited NFL experience.”
Chris Cash· Sep 11, 2026“Based on the NFL’s statement, though, there is still no timeline for clarity to emerge regarding how much time Jacobs will miss during the regular season. As noted by Mark Maske of Front Office Sports , any games Jacobs spends on the commissioner’s exempt list before a ban were to be handed down would count toward his suspension. Players typically lose their game checks for each contest missed through suspension, but Maske adds Jacobs would have his pay returned for any games sidelined on the exempt list prior to a suspension being handed down.”
Adam La Rose· Sep 11, 2026“The legal situation swirling around Josh Jacobs will definitely put a crimp into the plans of how the Packers operate, forcing oft-injured MarShawn Lloyd to become the de facto top running back instead.”
Evan Tarracciano· Sep 4, 2026“Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, and his availability is unknown.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 31, 2026“Josh Jacobs is one of the easiest running backs to target on Fantrax if he slips to his ADP of 40. At a 32 ADP on FantasyPros, that is eight picks later than other sites. Jacobs has already demonstrated a high-end fantasy ceiling and a true workhorse role in Green Bay.”
Ryan Kirksey· Aug 24, 2026“Round 13: MarShawn Lloyd (RB – GB) Josh Jacobs could still be suspended by the NFL, allowing MarShawn Lloyd a chance to get on the field.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22, 2026“If healthy, Jacobs has a top-5 fantasy ceiling. But as the 28-year-old continues to pile up volume and small injuries, fantasy managers should be wary of the production tapering off.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11, 2026“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Going as the RB14, 21st overall, Jacobs is projected for 289 carries, 1,161 rushing yards, and 12 rushing touchdowns, plus another 36 catches and roughly one receiving touchdown. Health was the story that took some shine off last season, as a knee bruise and thigh injury limited him over the second half.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 8, 2026“Josh Jacobs was involved in an offseason domestic incident that is reportedly still under investigation, though no charges have been filed.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5, 2026“1 | Diff: +5 Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5, 2026“Josh Jacobs might be the biggest value in early fantasy football drafts. Despite finishing as a productive fantasy back last season, Jacobs is currently being drafted outside the top 12 running backs in many formats. The case is simple: Green Bay trusts Jacobs near the goal line, he remains heavily involved as an early-down runner, and his receiving floor is underrated.”
