Josh Jacobs, Jaydon Blue Shake Up the 2026 Fantasy Football Landscape
Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, Jaydon Blue was waived by the Cowboys, and NFL teams cut down to their 53-man rosters, shaking up the fantasy football landscape.
The 2026 roster cutdown created a sharp fantasy-football pivot.
- Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, while Jaydon Blue was waived by the Cowboys. That shakes up the fantasy football landscape as NFL teams cut down to their 53-man rosters.
- The Packers will eventually want to sign a third quarterback to their practice squad, leaving that roster spot as a situation to monitor.
- The Los Angeles Chargers made several decisions to construct the required 53-man roster for the 2026 season. Undrafted rookies Rodney Shelley and Jacob Spomer earned spots on the Chargers' initial 53-man roster, which does not include punter JK Scott.
The clean fantasy takeaway: monitor the Cowboys backfield after the Josh Jacobs and Jaydon Blue news, then track the Packers' third quarterback plan and the Chargers' 53-man roster.
