Josh Jacobs is eligible to play in Week 7 at Detroit after missing the first six games of the season when he was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Matt LaFleur said Wednesday, when asked if Jacobs was ready against the Lions, that "we'll work through it." It sounds like Jacobs could have a limited workload, but he's also Green Bay's best running back by far. MarShawn Lloyd struggled in place of Jacobs, failing to get more than 49 total yards in any game, and he had one outing with double digits in PPR points when he scored two touchdowns against Chicago in Week 5.

If Jacobs doesn't play in Week 7, then I like Pierre Strong Jr. as a flex option in all leagues, and Strong just had 11 carries for 28 yards and five catches for 39 yards on six targets against Dallas in Week 6.
