Josh Jacobs Questionable For Week 8 rotoballer.com Wed 10/23/19 6:43 PM

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 8 against the Texans, according to head coach Jon Gruden. The good news for the Raiders is that receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday and could play this Sunday. Jacobs is averaging 5.1 yards per carry this year and has gone back-to-back games with 100 yards on the ground. It makes him a must-start fantasy commodity, but things will be tougher for his owners this week with a late ...

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Wednesday rotoballer.com Wed 10/23/19 4:47 PM

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is not practicing on Wednesday after injuring his shoulder in Week 7. Jacobs played through the injury in the loss to the Packers and was productive, so he should be able to suit up in Week 8 against the Texans. But fantasy owners will want to keep an eye on his practice statuses the rest of the week. Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington would likely split backfield duties if Jacobs were to miss time. The 21-year-old Jacobs is ...

Coming out of a bye week, Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is in prime position to pick up where he left off after a dominating Week 5 performance. After trouncing the Bears Defense for 143 total yards and two rushing scores two weeks ago, the 21-year-old will be leaned on heavily once again versus a susceptible Packers run defense in Week 7.

Bears Defense A Top-End Play Against Saints rotoballer.com Wed 10/16/19 3:28 PM

The Chicago Bears Defense hopes to get their season back on track in Week 7 against the Saints. The vaunted unit had some soul searching to do during their bye week after being gashed by the Raiders Josh Jacobs and placing Pro Bowl defensive tackle Akiem Hicks on injured reserve after a Week 5 loss in London. But the Bears defense is deep and will be at Soldier Field against a Saints offense that plays conservatively with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater under center. The Saints do a nice job of...

Deandre Washington Vultures A Touchdown rotoballer.com Sun 10/6/19 5:10 PM

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington found the end zone for the first time this season in the team's victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Josh Jacobs left the game briefly with a minor injury, but it was enough time for Washington to run for a three-yard TD late in the second quarter. He finished the game with six carries for 17 yards, while adding another 19 yards on three receptions. Washington has no standalone fantasy value and is solely a handcuff to Jacobs. He can be left...

Josh Jacobs, J.J. Nelson Limited Wednesday rotoballer.com Wed 10/2/19 12:47 PM

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (elbow) and wide receiver J.J. Nelson (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Jacobs should play in London in Week 5 against the Bears, but Chicago's defensive front is tough on opposing runners, making the rookie a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 in this matchup. Nelson was inactive in Week 4 but could make his return this weekend. He could have an expanded role with Tyrell Williams (foot) banged up, but even if Williams were to miss the ...

Josh Jacobs Totals 108 Yards Versus Colts rotoballer.com Sun 9/29/19 4:29 PM

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs picked up 79 yards on 17 carries and added two catches for 29 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts. In a plus matchup, the rookie didn't quite live up to expectations as he ceded 13 carries to the rest of the Raiders backfield. It was the most touches Jacobs has relinquished to his backups all season, but it's clear the rookie is still the clear-cut number one runner in this offense. Jacobs is yet to find the end zone since Week 1, but his high-volume ...
