Packers RB Josh Jacobs to miss time with finger injury

Nov 09, 2026

Packers standout running back Josh Jacobs is set to undergo surgery on his injured finger this week and is expected to miss a maximum of three weeks.

Related players: MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr., Kaleb Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

With Lloyd out with a knee injury in Week 9, the Packers turned to Strong and Johnson, and it very well could be the same duo in Week 10 against the tough Vikings defense. Johnson led the way with with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown, but he wasn't involved in the passing game. It was the largest rushing output for a Packers RB this season. Johnson was a nice RB prospect but has been plagued by fumbling issues since his time in Pittsburgh. He could at least be a volume play in Week 10 against the Vikings but owners probably shouldn't expect big fantasy numbers. It will be worth keeping an eye on Lloyd's injury situation as well. This has committee written all over it.

Ravens expect to start QB Jacoby Brissett in Week 10

Ravens on X

Ravens HC Jesse Minter: "I do expect Jacoby Brissett to be our starter Monday night."

Related players: Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens dealt for Brissett who was benched in Arizona just two weeks ago. It should be a nice chance for Brissett to get the Ravens back on track as they host the winless Chargers next week. As Minter said in the post, Brissett gets an extra day of prep with the game being on Monday night. Brissett wasn't a bad fantasy option in Arizona before getting benched, and he should help to bring some stability back to the the Ravens offense, and also allow Henry and Flowers fantasy owners to start them with at least a little more confidence.

While Patrick Mahomes’ elbow injury looked bad when it happened on Sunday, he was able to finish the game, helping power the Chiefs to a 35-12 win over the Jets.

It sounds like he might not miss any further playing time either.

“Patrick, he is really day-to-day right now,” head coach Andy Reid told reporters in his Monday news conference.

Fantasy Impact:

Reid went on to say via the story that, “It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick. It looks like it’s just a matter of some rehab in there and getting rid of some of the soreness. And we’ll just see where it goes from there. But he’s in good spirits today — I have seen him today, so he’s in good spirits today.” Mahomes was able to remain in the game and finish it, so it seems like he should be good to go for Week 10. Of course, be sure to monitor the practice reports, but so far it's all good signs that Mahomes will be able to play.
