News for Saylors, Jacob
Lions HC Dan Campbell said Jacob Saylors and Sione Vaki could both push for RB2 touches behind Jahmyr Gibbs. 2026-09-07 13:00:02 It’s hard to imagine either Vaki or Saylors having meaningful fantasy value at this point in the season, but it sounds like both will be on the field while Isiah Pacheco (back) is sidelined for at least the first four games of the season. Judging by how Campbell sounded when discussing each player, it sounded like Saylors might be closer to the official RB2, but Campbell didn’t mince words when he said, “I see Vaki getting some reps, too.” Fantasy managers interested in taking a shot on a Lions running back not named Jahmyr Gibbs can consider both Saylors and Vaki as late-round dart throws until we see how their snap shares look in the coming weeks.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said he’s “comfortable” with Jacob Saylors as Jahmyr Gibbs’ backup running back if Isiah Pacheco (back) isn’t able to play in Week 1. 2026-08-30 09:00:02 This is probably forecasting that Pacheco will be doubtful at best for Week 1. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can speculatively pick up Saylors, who had 17 carries for 100 yards in Detroit’s win over the Colts on Saturday. Saylors led the UFL in rushing in 2024 and finished second in the league in 2025 before signing with the Lions that offseason.
