We are now progressing through the early weeks of the offseason and the process of free agency will soon provide pathways for some running backs to seize significant roles in their new landing spots. Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Tony Pollard, Austin Ekeler, and D'Andre Swift are among the collection of backs who could resurface in new environments. Unfortunately, the player movement that will eventually transpire will also negatively impact the stock of other backs whose workloads...

The Denver Broncos defense may be worth a low-cost play in DFS lineups in the Week 18 regular season finale on the road in Las Vegas to take on the division-rival Raiders. Raiders star running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) will miss his fourth straight game to close out the year, and the Raiders offense has turned the ball over 24 times on the season, which ranks tied for 11th in the NFL. On the flip side, Denver's D ranks tied for seventh with 26 takeaways in 2023. Despite a rough start, ...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) has been ruled out for Week 18 versus the Denver Broncos. This should not come as a surprise considering Jacobs missed all three practices this week. The 25-year-old had been impressive for most of the season before missing the Raiders' final four games of the year. This has been difficult for fantasy managers in the playoffs, especially those who were unable to add Zamir White to their rosters. White is expected to lead the Raiders' backfield ...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jacobs has missed the last three contests and didn't practice at all on Wednesday or Thursday. However, the Raiders aren't ruling the 25-year-old out for the final game of the year under interim head coach Antonio Pierce. If Jacobs is indeed active on Sunday against the division-rival Broncos, fantasy managers should consider him an ...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) missed another practice on Thursday. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce said on Wednesday that Jacobs is expected to be a game-time decision for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos this Sunday, but the 25-year-old will probably need to practice on Friday, at least on a limited basis, if he's going to be a realistic option to play in what is a meaningless game between division rivals. Jacobs hasn't played in the last...

It took some time for Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs to get going to begin the year. But when he did, he picked up right where he left off last season. From Week 4 to Week 12, Jacobs finished as a top-six fantasy running back four times during that span.Unfortunately, though, most managers couldn't plug Jacobs into their lineup in the fantasy playoffs. The All-Pro back injured his quad in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings and hasn't played since.So, when will Jacobs return and be...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) is going to be a game-time decision for the Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos, according to interim head coach Antonio Pierce. Last year's rushing champion has missed each of the last three games due to a quad injury, and although the Raiders are eliminated from playoff contention, he wants to "fight until the end." If he plays, he's a must-start fantasy option against a Broncos defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points per ...

As expected, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) is officially out for the Week 17 contest versus the Indianapolis Colts, according to a source. The Raiders were holding out a sliver of hope that their lead back could return this weekend, but Jacobs wasn't able to practice all week and will miss his third straight game. It remains to be seen if he'll play in the Week 18 regular season finale next Sunday, Jan. 7, against the Denver Broncos. With Jacobs out for a third ...
