STACKED’s take
Waiver target with upside; pending court hearing will determine handcuff strategy
In a shallow 10-team, 2-receiver, 1-flex league where the team is already the best roster, Flock Fantasy identifies Josh Jacobs as a waiver wire target with significant upside potential. Despite being ranked behind Michael Pittman Jr. in overall rankings, Jacobs should be prioritized in this format because of the chance that his upcoming court date could result in positive information; the source would pick him up in a heartbeat over Pittman. The source also emphasizes that Jacobs must be on the team because upside is the only thing that matters in this league context. However, if Jacobs receives a 10-game suspension, Marshon Lloyd becomes the trustworthy lead back, which would create flexibility to trade away running back depth for a tight end upgrade. If Jacobs is confirmed to play, the source would prioritize Emit Johnson as the handcuff instead of other options, suggesting Jacobs' injury/availability status is uncertain. Jacobs' availability is pending a hearing; the source recommends waiting for the hearing outcome before making trades involving Marshon Lloyd, as Jacobs' status will determine Lloyd's role with the Packers.
