The fantasy football playoffs are here, or almost here, and that means start-sit lineup decisions have taken on added importance.
Injury reports can add plenty of stress for fantasy football managers, and in Week 15, that includes Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs was questionable this week with a knee injury.
Of course, Jacobs is a strong running back when healthy.
Adding to the difficulty is that the Packers' play in the second wave of games Sunday, creating added tension on a Jacobs decision.

Should I start Josh Jacobs in fantasy?
Jacobs appears to be safe to start this week.
Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Jacobs is expected to play.
Concern arose when the Packers elevated RB Pierre Strong Jr. From the practice squad on Saturday. But that move coincided with Emmanuel Wilson's addition to the injury report with an illness, and Wilson is iffier for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Denver's defense is strong, but assuming Jacobs plays, his steady workload is something you can rely on.
As insurance, if you've got a bench spot to work with, you could add Chris Brooks, who would get a lot of action if Jacobs was surprisingly ruled out. But it appears there's not too big a reason to worry at this point.
