Fantasy football is no joke -- at least to a lot of players, especially this time of year.

But Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs decided to have some fun with his owners Sunday.

Listed as active heading into his team's game against the Indianapolis Colts, the 22-year-old posted on Instagram that he was not actually playing, sending fantasy footballers into a confused panic. Jacobs had been limited in practice all week with an ankle injury that forced him to the sidelines last Sunday.

Jacobs took the trolling even further by taking part in the pre-game warmups as if he was gearing up to play.

In the end, Jacobs was just joshin' around, getting the start for the Raiders.
