Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (chest) won't return to the Week 7 matchup against the Eagles. Jacobs sustained a chest injury and was initially listed as questionable to make it back. However, things don't look promising, so in the interim, Kenyan Drake should be the primary option out of the backfield for the rest of the contest. Fortunately, the team has an upcoming bye before returning for a Week 9 game against the Giants. Still, fantasy managers would benefit by picking up ...

After an RB1 performance in Week 6, is Kenyan Drake a startable fantasy option in Week 7, or is this still Josh Jacobs' backfield?

No position is more coveted in fantasy football — especially this year — than running back. If you have a handful of RBs, it’s not a horrible idea to try moving one of them to a running back-needy manager in your league. Whether you’re a contender or your team needs a desperation shot of adrenaline […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is looking to be a difference-maker in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 23-year-old had his most productive game of the season against the Denver Broncos last week, logging 16 carries for 53 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 victory. Jacobs has the opportunity to build on that performance in Week 7 against an Eagles defense that has given up 713 rushing yards and five touchdowns to opposing running backs this season.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 16 carries for 53 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the host Denver Broncos. Jacobs had his most productive day since Week 1 despite missing practice time over the week an undisclosed illness, which is great news for fantasy managers who have patiently waited for him to get going. If Sunday's game is a sign, Jacobs is going to continue to get the majority of the work on the ground as long as he stays healthy.

Josh Jacobs is the expert-consensus fantasy RB13 in Week 6, but he's highly overvalued. Managers should consider benching him, if possible.

Heading into Week 6, what players are on the injury report, and how should the most recent updates impact fantasy football lineups?

Jacobs has been pretty mediocre to start the season, and that may be putting it lightly. In the three games he has been active, he has not surpassed 50 rushing yards, nor has he been particularly efficient. The only appealing factor of his game has been his usage near the goal line, as he has scored three touchdowns so far. He faces a tough matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos, who have given up the sixth-fewest rushing yards (85.4 per game) and the fourth-fewest yards per carry (3.7) ...

With injuries mounting around the NFL, let's look at the Week 6 RB injuries to monitor before Sunday's slate in this fantasy injury update.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) was removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the division-rival Denver Broncos after he missed practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. He'll have his work cut out for him against a Broncos defense that's allowed only 344 rushing yards and two touchdowns to RBs through the first five weeks. Fantasy managers should feel a bit more comfortable rolling Jacobs out as an RB2 this weekend, though, after he ...
