Josh Jacobs Fantasy

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is primed for a massive game in Week 11 when the winless Bengals come to town. With an extra few days of rest, Jacobs should have no problem maintaining his high-volume workload versus a defense that's allowing the most yards per game on the ground this season (173.0). Cincinnati is also giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to the position, including 12 TD runs through nine games. With the Raiders favored by 10.5 points, Jacobs will undoubtedly see upwards of 20 touches giving him a smooth path to a 100-yard game. The rookie will be a must-start RB1 this week in his juiciest matchup of the year.

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs couldn't get much going versus the Chargers through the first three quarters, but his 18-yard TD with a minute left salvaged his performance. His game-winning score helped him total 71 yards on 16 carries in the team's 26-24 win as he added another 30 yards through the air with three catches. Jacobs continues to rack up nearly all of the rush attempts in the backfield, although he ceded passing-catching opportunities to Jalen Richard late in the game with the team playing from behind. His high-volume usage makes him a fringe RB1 weekly, especially when the underwhelming Bengals come to visit in Week 11.

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs appears to have put his minor shoulder injury behind him and will be a fringe RB1 for his matchup on Thursday versus the Chargers. After recording his third multi-touchdown game of the season in Week 9, the rookie will look to pick up where he left off against a rush defense that's given up 114.1 yards per game on the season. The Raiders will once again lean on Jacobs to handle the bulk of the carries, making him a must-start in his high-volume role. This contest should be a close affair, so game script will favor the 21-year-old in getting upwards of 20 carries with the hope that he can chip in with a couple of receptions.
