Official Brandon Jacobs Thread (1 Viewer)

Just saw this.

FOXSports.com's John Czarnecki writes that "there are concerns" about Brandon Jacobs (questionable, ankle) not being ready to play Sunday.

The New York local newspapers believe Jacobs will suit up, but he was limited in practice all week and may be limited on game day. It was a surprise that Jacobs was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, so there may be something going on with him we don't know about.

jacobs seems to be limited pretty much every week.

 

[GoBirds]

Jacobs is killing me.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I'm freaking 1-5 thanks him being my #2 RB. That and many other problems(Evans, H.Ward, Chi D).

this is one of the funniest posts I have ever read.

What about Droughns? Personally, I am not a fan but has as many rushing TDs as Jacobs and Ward combined.

 

[loose circuits]

I am going to have to temporarily give up on Jacobs until he can play more than one series in a row with out spraining his mangina.

I am going with Nate Burleson over him barring any positive updates during pregame...

Droughns is straight and will steal the red zone carries but against San Fran, I am thinking Ward could make a big play or two and have the opportunity of putting 6 on the scoreboard.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

So are Ward/Jacobs owners playing Ward over Jacobs today? Feels safer to me.

 

[3C's]

Ward-out of my lineup, in my lineup, out, in.

 

[eom]

ward is over.

 

[MaddHatter]

ward is over.

 

[JohnnyU]

Droughns is straight

That's good to know.

 

[CA_7]

Care to elaborate? Is this just a hunch? Serious question in case I am missing something about this match-up...SF is in the bottom half of my leagues for fantasy points allowed to RBs. Not to mention; Steven Jackson, Shaun Alexander, Willie Parker and Willis McGahee all failed to score a TD against SF. Why is Ward going to buck this trend?

 

[PublicEnemy#1]

This is great, I have Jacobs and the guy I am playing has Ward. This could upset me

 

[Mystery Achiever]

ward is over.

what does this mean?

If Jacobs is inactive, Droughns is a viable sneaky spot play.

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

i thought ward was MORE injured than jacobs?

 

[nyftbl_giants]

ward is over.

what does this mean?

over what ? if jacobs is limited is ward not playable. he's sure helped me so far when jacobs was limited or out

 

[The Gator]

Ward-out of my lineup, in my lineup, out, in.

You want Jacobs in another league?

 

[Mystery Achiever]

i thought ward was MORE injured than jacobs?

in my espn league, ward has a "P", Jacobs a "Q".

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

yeah, but people were saying that Ward's injury was more concerning than Jacob's.

 

[Bri]

if ya find any, news please

 

[bluesclues]

Start Ward.

Jacobs will be in and out every other week - his dynasty value is scary - not dependable.

 

[erikf08]

Jacobs is the softest player in the NFL. I've never een anything like it...a man that big, that strong, that fast break down with injuries as often as he does. He get's taken out for goal line duties for God's sakes. So sad. I have to play Betts now.

I don't think anyone wants to admit this, but Droughns has outplayed Ward this season.

 

[Andy Hicks]

Keep this thread to news.

Start a new thread or add to the existing ones if you want to discuss the Giants running game.

I'd have no problems admitting it, if it were true.If you mean Droughns outplayed Ward last week, ok.

I did not intend to start Ward this eek, but may have to above ARE now.

Sorry Andy.

 

[TxBuckeye]

I'm worried. There's a Jacobs thread and H.K. hasn't shown up to post his Brenda schtick. Maybe we should put out an APB on him and make sure he's alright.

 

[loose circuits]

My favorite ESPN Analyst Rachel Nichols just announced that Brenda will play. This make things tougher...I bench him and he scores 2 TD's...

 

[Redsox fan]

Watching ESPN. They report Jacobs will play. As the reporter put it "Jacobs will give it a go"

Not a great confidence boost.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Rachel Nichols just reported he'll "give it a go". Man this sucks. It's either Travis Henry Vs. a tough Pitt D or Brendan Jacobs.

 

[ThePhillyKid]

I'd like to start Ward if this is true...but how is Ward's injury doing?

Is he good to go today?

 

[AeroFANatic]

Per Yahoo, Brandon Jacobs active AND starting.

 

[ceisenhower66]

Yahoo Fantasy Football Live has said twice that Jacobs should definitely be in your lineup this week. They say he is healthy and starting and did not have any reservations ranking him. I know it is Yahoo, but still...

EDIT: And now another analyst just said Jacobs is very shaky. This is getting annoying.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

49ers rookie LB Patrick Willis, who leads the 49ers with 67 tackles in five games, vs. Giants running backs. Derrick Ward leads the Giants with 421 yards and Brandon Jacobs has averaged 5.4 yards while missing a lot of time with a knee injury.

 

[RenegadeGM]

After watching the Monday night game last week I'm sitting Jacobs in favor of Portis despite Jacobs having a better matchup. All three Giant RBs ran well, so I don't see any reason why Coughlin won't continue to use them all. Also, while Jacobs may start the game, the possibility for aggravation is there, and if he's even slightly limping, they'll simply pull him, like on Monday night. The injuries didn't seem serious then, either, but that didn't prevent Coughlin from using Ward extensively between the 20s and Droughns at the goal line.

 

[3C's]

Ward-out of my lineup, in my lineup, out, in.

You want Jacobs in another league?

And add to my headaches? Then again, he's better than most of my other rb's.

 

[Chickenwang]

This is starting to look like a game where you bench him, then he goes off for 120yd 1td.

Not sure if i'll get that from any of my other backs.... but oh well.

 

[Jagerbomber]

I think I'm gonna have to play both. My other 2 RB's are hurt (Rudi) or on a bye (LT) so Ward and Jacobs it is. Joy

Whoever started the nickname "Brenda" Jacobs, genius. I would have gone for Brandy tho.

Wow its so funny to give a guy a womans name when he gets injured.This guy ran for 100/1 and then 86 before getting a twisted ankle, and now is showing toughness bouncing back to start this week. What do you scrubs want? Injuries happen. You are probably the guys that didn't draft Westbrook because he's injury prone. Keep hatin'.

 

[Blueb]

So I benched BJ for LenDale White. That now looks like a big mistake.

What do you do with this guy? Seems impossible to bench (he's now averaging about 10 ypc this game) but every time I play him he gets injured... frustrating.

The Jacobs haters must not watch the game. The guy runs for 5 yards a pop everytime he gets a handoff. How that equates to being the suck i have no idea.

 

[KellysHeroes]

KH here.... you know I'm loving this... BJ is a beast... RB21 won't be a problem.

You do like I did this week, you play him and not worry about injuries that are impossible to predict like a rational man. You guys can get your panties twisted about voodoo injury hexes on certain players and I will be sitting back here starting Jacobs whenever he's healthy and collecting 100/1.

 

[Lash]

this guy is an animal, have no idea why NYG thinks the other two are better on goalline, but either way he is a must start

i imagine you guys waiting on the haters to post here will just hear ....

What an arrogant, cocky and dumb post. You're saying "play him and not worry about injuries", while at the same time, "start him whenever he's healthy". Which is it? And how did you make your masterful decision today since Jacobs was listed as "questionable"? How did you, god of all things fantasy football in your oh so grand wisdom, determine if he was healthy or not?
