Josh Jacobs has been dealing with a quad injury all week, stemming from last week's game. He did not practice at all this week. His status is very much in doubt.

With Jacobs out, we would more than likely see a heavy rotation that will feature three backs, with Zamir White leading the way. That doesn't instill enough confidence to start any of their pieces here in the fantasy playoffs.

Jacobs misses another day. As we reported from ESPN, the Raiders aren't planning on adding a RB before Thursday game. But, it's unclear if the team is expecting Jacobs to play or if they will roll with a committee of White and Abdullah.

Raiders running back Josh Jacobs left Sunday’s game with what was reported by the team as a knee injury. But he was listed as a non-participant in Monday’s walkthrough with a quad injury.

He played 34 of 54 snaps before walking to the training room in the fourth quarter. ESPN reported earlier today that the Raiders didn't plan to add another running back before their Week 15 game, which is Thursday night against the Chargers. The DNP certainly doesn't start the week off well for owners, but we'll likely have to wait another day or two to get a better idea about Jacobs' status for TNF.

ESPN's Josina Anderson reported the Raiders aren't planning to sign or call up another back ahead of Thursday's game. Obviously that could mean one of two things, they are comfortable with White and Abdullah likely splitting the workload if Jacobs can't play, or Jacobs will be OK to play. We'll have to wait for the injury report to come out, but obviously the timing isn't good at all with a Thursday game and the fantasy playoffs getting under way.

The Packers are set to play another game without running back Aaron Jones.

Jones was limited in practice all week because of the knee injury that has kept him out of the team’s last two games and he was listed as questionable on Saturday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Jones is not expected to play against the Giants on Monday night, however.

If Jones is out, it will be the sixth game he's missed due to injuries this season, the story pointed out. Dillon has served as the lead back in Jones’ absence from the lineup and would continue in that role with Taylor as the No. 2. The Packers could also elevate Drake from the practice squad for further backfield depth, the story went on to say.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was ruled out for Monday night against the Giants while RB Aaron Jones (knee) is questionable.

Watson's hamstring issues rear their ugly head again this season after Watson missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. Watson was on quite a roll with four touchdowns in the last three weeks, helping the Packers to three straight win -- including last week's upset of the Chiefs -- to get the Packers to 6-6 and inside the playoff picture with five weeks left. His absence will certainly open up more opportunities for Jayden Reed (40-513-5) and Romeo Doubs (45-505-7).

Jones was able to practice all week. Even in a limited fashion, it was a good step for Jones after missing the last two games with a knee injury. We'll see how the Packers want to work him with AJ Dillon not as effective and the Packers now very much in the playoff picture.

Packers WR Christian Watson said he does not believe this hamstring injury is as severe as the one that kept him out of the first 3 games of the season. But he doesn’t know if playing Monday night against the Giants is doable.

Watson has been a huge beneficiary of Jordan Love's recent resurgence, catching four touchdowns in the game's last three games. If he were to miss Week 14, the 3-WR set would operate as listed above, with both Doubs and Reed being very strong FLEX options.

Matt LaFleur said they don’t know yet if the hamstring injury that Christian Watson sustained yesterday vs. KC is as severe as the one that kept him out the first three games of the season.

Demovsky added to his post that Watson did seem to be moving better today during a brief sighting in the locker room. However, owners will have to wait and see his status for Week 14 as it's certainly in question. Unfortunately, the situation could be more complicated for owners as Watson plays on Monday night at the Giants.

With about 3 minutes to play and the Packers nursing a 24-19 lead, Christian Watson caught a little flip from quarterback Jordan Love, turned on the jets and raced around the left edge of the Chiefs’ defense.

With the first down secured, Watson gave himself up to stay inbounds and keep the clock rolling. Instead, his right hamstring gave way.

Watson missed the first three games of the season with an injured right hamstring. Coach Matt LaFleur said the team will get a better handle on the injury on Monday, according to the story. Watson was seemingly starting to find his way with QB Jordan Love and caught a TD pass against the Chiefs. We'll continue to update the situation but owners may want to prepare to be without Watson.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur tells reporters that RB Aaron Jones (knee sprain) won't play again this week. He hasn't practiced since his injury.

The recent increased usage for Dillon hasn't helped to improve his inefficiency on the ground, as he has rushed for 72 yards on 28 attempts (2.57) the last 1.5 games, despite playing behind an average-or-better offensive line. Regardless, Jones' absence makes him fantasy relevant as a solid RB3.
