With the first round of bye weeks upon us, let's take a look at some start 'em and sit'em options in fantasy football for Week 6.

On top of bye weeks starting in Week 6, be sure to stay updated with the latest injury report before setting your fantasy football lineups.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) didn't practice Thursday due to an illness. The 23-year-old kept popping up on the injury report and missed two games earlier in the season with an ankle injury. It's unknown at this time if the illness is related to COVID-19, but it's a situation fantasy managers should continue to monitor. The Raiders' RB logged 70% of the team's snaps (46-of-66) in last Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears. He had 15 carries for 48 yards with the team's...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 15 carries for 48 yards with his team's only touchdown in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears. Jacobs looked the healthiest he has since being sidelined in Week 1 with an ankle injury but was stymied most of the game by a Bears defense that has been strong against the rush all season. Even when Jacobs scored Vegas' lone TD in the third quarter, he battled to break the plane and get his team into the end zone. Fantasy managers should keep an eye...

Jacobs returned to action against the Chargers last week, rushing 13 times for 40 yards while catching each of his five targets for 17 yards.Kenyan Drakeonly played 35% of the snaps, so this is encouraging usage for Jacobs. You love to see those five targets. If we start seeing Jacobs utilized more in the passing game like that, he can emerge as an upside RB2. The Bears rank 10th in fantasy points per game to running backs, but the Raiders are 5.5-point favorites, so it could be a positive game ...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs looks to get his season back on track as his team hosts the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The 25-year-old totaled 40 yards on 13 carries against the Chargers in Week 4, his first game since being sidelined in Week 1 with an ankle injury. Jacobs will probably get more opportunities this week with Peyton Barber questionable to play and Kenyan Drake being used as more of a short-pass specialist. That being said, the Bears defense has done well against the ...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday. On the flip side, Peyton Barber (toe) missed practice for the second straight day and looks likely to miss the Week 5 game against the Chicago Bears after suffering a mild turf-toe injury on Monday night. Jacobs was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he appears to be getting past his injury after looking sluggish on Monday following a two-week absence. The 23-year-old should see all ...

Following Wednesday's NFL practices, here are some critical injury reports to stay updated on for fantasy football in Week 5.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday after returning in the Monday night loss to the Los Angeles Chargers after missing the previous two games. Peyton Barber suffered a turf-toe injury on Monday, so it was just Jacobs and Kenyan Drake splitting the backfield touches. Jacobs played 63 percent of the offensive snaps and saw 18 touches for 57 total scrimmage yards. It was nice to see the 23-year-old garner five targets, but probably isn't ...

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) rushed for 40 yards on 13 attempts while catching all five of his targets for 17 yards during Monday's 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
