Josh Jacobs used the flip-the-bird emoji toward his fantasy fantasy owners on Instagram on Sunday, but to some extent, he was actually doing them a favor. Or was he?
The Raiders listed Jacobs as active for their Week 14
Antonio Callaway Jersey game against the Colts, but he posted on Instagram shortly after the active/inactive announcement that he wouldn't be playing Sunday. On a follow-up me sage, he wrote "(Oh well) fantasy owners" with the flip-off emoji.
It's not clear whether Jacobs mi sed the memo that he's active or
Olivier Vernon Jersey if the Raiders simply don't have enough healthy players to do anything but keep Jacobs active. Fantasy owners counting on Jacobs should probably remove him from their lineups, but at least he let them know before his game started. Further confusing matters, though, at the game have tweeted that Jacobs is going through pregame matters as usual. Maybe Jacobs was playing a joke on his fantasy owners?

Jacobs probably expected to hear hate for not playing in Week 14 and included that me sage for fantasy owners to tell them he doesn't care about their teams. But by giving them a heads up, Jacobs actually might've saved some fantasy football weeks (unle s it was all a lie).
