Josh Jacobs Return Brings Fantasy Football Trade Risk

Now, as far as the NFL is concerned, some big news in terms of injuries and returns yesterday, and this one is one of the more bizarre ones that I've seen, which is Josh Jacobs of the Green Bay Packers, Joe, appears to be ready to return. So most people who play fantasy have picked him up or stashed him, and he's going to be back. So he's off this exemption list. I know he's fighting to have this video or whatever happen, not released. And so I suppose it just appears as though he's coming back and he's going to be the running back for the Packers which you know on paper I I suppose okay that's fine but I mean I I this story is just weird like how he could just be exempt for six weeks I mean I suppose the NFL's maybe seen this video or something like that because I can't imagine all of a sudden tomorrow video comes out and then the whole thing is uh is put to bed and he's back out or we're not playing again I I don't know how this thing is going to end but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see next week yeah look we've been around this block more than once you and I and I'm not pessimistic I'm just realistic if there's a video that they're trying to keep hidden it seems like they want it hidden for some good reason and if the NFL wants to get their hands on it I think they're going to find a way to do that eventually so my advice to everybody out there for a while now has been trade Josh Jacobs because to me you're in a situation that is still highly volatile this notion that okay well now he's off the exempt list there's also been you know some reporting around the NFL Twitter sphere lately too that the NFL is not done looking into this and that's what worries me quite a bit I mean you could get Josh Jacobs returning but also where are you at right now with your league what's your record with Josh Jacobs stashed away on your bench When did you do your draft? Did you get him for free? Did you draft early before all this news happened in the first place and you're not paying a high price for Josh Jacobs so I think a lot of this is contextual about where you are right now in your fantasy football season and where you are with Josh Jacobs. And to me, it's still a very volatile stock that I personally would rather have. If you could flip him for a DJ Moore where people are very frustrated with him right now because of the injuries and he's got to buy next week and maybe he's not useful for you two weeks, I think I'd rather take that swing. I think I'd rather trade for a lottery ticket like Emeka Igbuka with a returning Baker Mayfield. There's still that hope that Igbuka can kind of rediscover himself a little bit and be the player you saw last year in the first six weeks of the season. So to me, I think there's some better risks than Josh Jacobs and Josh Jacobs I don't know if the story is quite over yet, Craig I just don't feel like it is.
