The Green Bay Packers will take on the Chicago Bears on Saturday night and the Packers are hoping to have running back Josh Jacobs and wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks on the field.

While Doubs is good to go, both Jacobs and Wicks are questionable to play. Jacobs is dealing with knee and ankle issues and Wicks is battling an ankle.

Before we even get to the start or sit advice, it's important to note that fantasy football owners should have their eyes out for the Packers' inactives list for confirmation that both Jacobs and Wicks are actually playing.

That list will drop an hour and a half before the 8:20 p.m. Kickoff on Saturday night.

Now, a look at some start or sit advice for Jacobs, Wicks and Doubs.

Josh Jacobs start or sit advice

Ranking as RB7 overall this season, Jacobs is a lineup lock each and every week, regardless of matchup. Just make sure he's active in Week 16.

The Bears are giving up the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season, so the matchup isn't daunting by any means. We also saw Jacobs tally 92 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown against Chicago in Week 14.

Lock Jacobs in this week as long as he's playing.

Verdict: Start

Romeo Doubs start or sit advice

Since his best game of the season in Week 9, Doubs has been very quiet, ranking as WR66 overall in that span. That's a lower ranking than both Watson and Wicks, by the way.

Doubs has been particularly bad over the last three games, tallying six catches for 56 yards, and he was blanked in Week 14.

There is just no way you can trust Doubs in lineups, even if Watson doesn't play (he's expected to, though).

Verdict: Sit

Dontayvion Wicks start or sit advice

Wicks has posted just standout fantasy performance this season, which came in Week 13, when he finished with six catches for 94 yards and a touchdown.

He hasn't scored a touchdown in any other game and hasn't posted more than four catches or 44 yards in a contest, either.

There's just not enough meat on the bone to start Wicks this week.

Verdict: Sit
