Josh Jacobs Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is looking to make a big impact on Thanksgiving against the host Dallas Cowboys. The 28-year-old had 9 carries for 37 rushing yards and five receptions for 24 yards in last Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, a game in which Vegas didn't get any real momentum going with the exception of their one touchdown drive which was fueled by the passing game. Despite the loss, Jacobs has been consistently productive over the last couple of weeks. With Dallas defense ranking 10th in rushing yards allowed (103.7 yards per carry) and eighth in points allowed (21.4 points per game) Jacobs should be considered a solid RB3 for this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and should be good to go this Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Jacobs was limited in practices this week with a knee issue but all signs now point to him being ready to take on a full workload this weekend. He only had seven carries for 16 rushing yards last week against the Kansas City Chiefs but did contribute five catches on five targets for 20 passing yards. Fantasy managers can consider Jacobs a solid RB2 in Week 11 since the Bengals' defense wasn't very good against opposing running backs in the couple of games leading up to their Week 10 bye.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fellow running back Jalen Richard (ribs) was held out of practice. Jacobs had only seven carries -- his second-fewest of the season -- for 16 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he also caught all five of his targets for 20 yards and has seen nine targets in the last two games. Playing from behind multiple scores for most of the game didn't help Jacobs' cause last Sunday, but he could easily bounce back against a Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 11 that has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to RBs in the last three weeks. Jacobs will be firmly in the RB2 mix for this weekend's game.
