Josh Jacobs Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was charged with failure to exercise due care in the wake of his single-car accident last week. Jacobs sustained some minor injuries, including a laceration to his forehead, but he was not charged with driving under the influence. His attorneys were prepared to enter a not-guilty plea if he was officially charged with a DUI. The 22-year-old rushed for 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns in 15 games in his second season in the NFL. Although he ran for more yards (1,150) on fewer carries (242) in his rookie season, Jacobs scored five more touchdowns in 2020 and caught 13 more passes on 18 more passing targets. The first-time Pro Bowler will enter the 2021 season as a strong RB1 choice in the early rounds, especially if he's even more involved as a receiver in his third year. He should avoid any kind of suspension from this incident.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was booked on allegations of driving under the influence on Monday morning following a single-car collision, according to the Las Vegas Police Department. Jacobs intends to plead not guilty if he's charged with DUI. The second-year running back has been released from custody and has a court appearance on March 8. The 22-year-old is unlikely to receive a suspension from the NFL if he isn't formally charged with a DUI, but this is something to watch as the offseason unfolds. Jacobs finished as the No. 7 fantasy back in 2020 in terms of overall fantasy points. He finished his second season in the NFL with 1,065 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 273 carries (3.9 yards per carry) while also adding 33 receptions for 238 yards. Jacobs will be an early round RB1 once again in 2021.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs capped off a solid 2020 season with 89 rushing yards for two touchdowns on 15 carries in a 32-31 win against the Broncos. While it was not as impressive as his rookie campaign, Jacobs still eclipsed 1000 yards for the second straight season and tallied 12 touchdowns. Rushing yards did not come as easy as they did in 2019, but he was able to improve in the pass-catching game. He is a workhorse running back that can likely be counted on for a good fantasy performance in most weeks. Jacobs will likely be an early-round selection again next season.
