A potential suspension looms over Josh Jacobs per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This comes following an incident on May 23 that left him with a felony assault charge and four misdemeanor charges.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Suspension Risk Meets Thin Depth
A groin injury has already kept Jacobs out of camp, and a possible suspension could follow heading into the season.
In two seasons with the Packers, Jacobs posted 17.1 and 15.7 fantasy points per game, ranking RB8 and RB10, respectively.
Jacobs has averaged a 55.9% carry share while missing just two games over the past two years, so any absence would create a big hole in a backfield with uncomfortable depth.
MarShawn Lloyd would appear to benefit from any missed time, but it’s nearly impossible to project meaningful production from a player who has played just one game since entering the NFL in 2024 and never topped a 40% carry share in college.
