Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he feels like he could play in Week 8 against the Texans even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Players don't usually get to make these decisions, but Jacobs should be questionable and has a chance to suit up as the team's lead back. He's more of a riskier RB2 this week, though, with the Raiders playing an afternoon game. If he doesn't get the green light, expect Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington to split backfield ...

It makes him a must-start fantasy commodity, but things will be tougher for his owners this week with a late ...

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.

The 21-year-old Jacobs is ...

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...

He can be left...
