Josh Jacobs Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) was logged on the team's injury report Thursday following a limited participation in practice. He was also a limited participant in Friday's practice, but it appears that he is good to go for Sunday. Jacobs is a must-start option this Sunday against a Falcons Defense that ranks 24th against opposing running backs. He has four touchdowns and is averaging 17 rushing attempts per game over his last three games. The Falcons are allowing 4.4 yards per carry and have surrendered 11 total rushing touchdowns so far this season. Fantasy owners should feel good about Jacobs' recent performances and his favorable matchup this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 17 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in a loss against the Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense held Jacobs to just 3.2 yards per carry, which was his lowest since Week 7. While yards came a bit difficult, Jacobs was able to find the end zone for a third straight week and now has nine touchdowns on the year. It was not the performance that one would hope for out of an RB1, but he was still able to produce a decent performance. Jacobs will have a more favorable matchup next week against the Falcons who allowed over 160 rushing yards to the Saints in Week 11.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is having his best stretch of the season and will look to continue that this week against the Chiefs. Jacobs is averaging just over 100 yards per game over his last three games and has also picked up three touchdowns during that span. He is currently second in the league in rushing attempts and fourth in the league in rushing yards. In Week 5 against the Chiefs, Jacobs picked up over 70 yards on the ground and tallied two touchdowns. This should be a fairly favorable matchup as the Chiefs Defense ranks just 17th against opposing running backs. He is definitely a must-start option, and the only concern is if the Raiders fall behind early, forcing them to throw more and limiting Jacobs' touches.
