Josh Jacobs News
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a relatively quiet day for fantasy managers in a tough matchup on Sunday, carrying the ball 17 times for 45 yards, adding two catches for five yards through the air. He finished with less than 10 half-PPR fantasy points for just the second time in his last 10 games. The fourth-year running back will finish the season with 1,653 rushing yards, very likely enough for the NFL's rushing title this year. Jacobs will hope to cash in this offseason as a top free-agent RB after Las Vegas declined his fifth-year option this past April. If Jacobs stays a Raider or takes on a similar role elsewhere, he will be a mid-range RB1 in 2023 fantasy drafts.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip, personal) did not practice on Thursday or Friday but is officially active for Saturday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacobs had been spending time with his father in the hospital this week but flew to Las Vegas on Friday night after his father told him he wanted to see him play. The Raiders have already been eliminated from playoff contention but will hope to end the season on a high note against a division rival. With the 2022-2023 NFL rushing title in his sights, Jacobs should be viewed as an elite fantasy option for his season finale.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs delivered again for fantasy managers in Week 17. Despite failing to top 100 rushing yards, his 21 touches and one rushing TD pushed him into RB1 territory once again. Jacobs has now finished RB10 or better in nine of his last 13 games (half-PPR), averaging 21.6 carries, 108.9 rushing yards, and 0.9 TD per game over that span. The Kansas City Chiefs come to town in Week 18 with a middle-of-the-road defense against opposing fantasy RBs. Jacobs is officially listed as questionable for this matchup after missing the past two practices for personal reasons. Unless the situation changes, expect Jacobs to play on Saturday and lock up the rushing title to cap off a career year. He is a must-start one final time.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs rushed for 872 yards on 217 attempts and nine touchdowns while catching 54 passes for 348 yards across 15 games in 2021.

He will be the primary back and should be heavily featured in the red zone in a projected high-scoring offense. The Raiders added former Green...
