Josh Jacobs Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs could be in line for a breakout year, a sentiment that was echoed by ESPN's Mike Clay, who predicted the sophomore back to total 1,400 yards from scrimmage this season. The 22-year-old finished 2019 with 1,150 yards and seven touchdowns but was hindered by a shoulder issue that cost him three games while impacting him in others. With the Raiders having some potent weapons on the receiving end, things may open up more for Jacobs in 2020. Look for him to fly off the draft boards within the first round the majority of fantasy drafts for the upcoming campaign.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has been labeled as a potential MVP candidate this upcoming year, according to a recent article posted by Dan Hanzus of NFL.com. Despite shoulder issues relegating his productivity while also limiting him to 13 games, the sophomore back finished his rookie season with 1,150 yards and seven rushing touchdowns on 242 attempts. Though he has been rumored not to be as heavily featured catching passes out of the backfield, he is expected to see an improvement on the ground, primarily with an upgraded passing attack. Look for the 22-year-old to be a first-round fantasy pick in all formats heading into the 2020 campaign.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has plenty of hype as he enters his second year in the league. With the team loaded on the receiving end, many anticipate that opposing defenses won't have the luxury of being able to stack the box like they did last season. While Jacobs' rookie season wasn't a bust by any means, his late-first/early second-round ADP suggests an even better outlook heading into 2020. Jacobs battled a shoulder issue throughout the season in 2019. Still, the 22-year-old finished with 1,150 yards and seven touchdowns while racking up 683 yards after contact, which was good for fifth in the league.
