Brandon Bolden Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) are officially active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both players were listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long. Jacobs followed a similar injury pattern last week, receiving the "questionable" designation but ultimately being active. He even missed a few snaps during the contest, then proceeded to register a record-breaking 303 scrimmage yards. Thus, fantasy managers should have no hesitance when starting Jacobs this week. He has shown that he can perform at a high level even after recovering from injury. On the other hand, Bolden should be near 100 percent, but he is still a depth piece in the Raiders' offense and should be left on waivers in fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jacobs aggravated a left calf injury in the Week 12 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he also ran for over 200 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries and added six catches for 74 yards. The overall RB1 on the year looks to be on the right side of questionable for this weekend and should remain plastered to all starting fantasy lineups against a suspect Chargers run defense. In the season opener against LA, Jacobs had a season-low 10 carries for 57 yards and caught his only target for a 16-yard gain. If the 24-year-old is limited our out altogether, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White figure to split the backfield.

Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The Raiders were hoping Jacobs would be available to play in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after he aggravated his left calf injury in Week 12, and all signs are pointing toward Jacobs being available. The 24-year-old is now the overall RB1 in half-point PPR scoring after going off for a career-high 229 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries last Sunday. He also caught six of seven targets for a season-high 74 yards in the overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. If Jacobs is active on Sunday, which is looks like he will be, he's an absolute must-start RB1 against the Chargers' shaky run defense.
