Sun 11/15/20 7:56 PM

Jacobs registered 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, adding four catches for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-12 win against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs torched the Broncos for 5.3 yards per carry with assistance from five runs of nine yards or more, notching his third multi-TD outing of 2020 in the process. The 2019 No. 24 overall draft choice has garnered 15 or more offensive touches in every game but one this season. Las Vegas prepares for a rematch with Kansas City in Week 11; the first time the teams met this season, Jacobs compiled 85 scrimmage yards and two TDs against the Chiefs' 28th-ranked rush defense.

Jacobs carried the ball 14 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
After getting a season-high 31 totes last week in Cleveland, Jacobs saw a much smaller workload this time around -- perhaps due to the knee injury that limited him in practice during the week -- and ceded eight carries to Devontae Booker, but he was still able to score his sixth TD of the year on a 14-yard run in the second quarter. Jacobs should see something more like his typical volume of touches in Week 10 against a stingy Broncos run defense.

Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs is coming off a Week 8 effort in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the Raiders' 16-6 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. With Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium, weather won't factor into the game plan; nevertheless, barring any in-game setbacks, Jacobs still seems destined to remain fairly busy versus the Chargers, given that he's averaging 21 carries per game to date.

Jacobs (knee/illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After failing to practice Thursday, Jacobs returned to the field Friday in a limited capacity. Though he didn't finish the week as a full participant, the Raiders are apparently optimistic that Jacobs will be ready to handle his usual role as the team's lead back. Confirmation on Jacobs' status won't come until the Raiders release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. kickoff, but fantasy managers can tentatively plan on having him in their lineups.

Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Chargers after returning to a limited practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was held out of practice Thursday, but his return to the field Friday, albeit in a limited fashion, bodes well for his status for Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff. The Raiders' top back is coming off a week in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the team's Week 8 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. Assuming he's active versus the Chargers, weather won't impact Jacobs' Week 9 usage, with Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium.

Jacobs (knee/illness) returned to practice Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was withheld from Thursday's session, but he looks poised to log at least limited activity in the Raiders' final Week 9 practice. The extent of Jacobs' involvement in practice will be revealed later Friday, at which time it will also be known whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Jacobs is coming off his biggest workload of the season, carrying 31 times for 129 yards in the Raiders' Week 8 win over the Browns after windy conditions prompted head coach Jon Gruden to largely eschew the passing game.

Jacobs (knee/Illness) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was listed as a full participant Wednesday, though he appeared on the Raiders' injury report with a listed knee issue. Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, the running back missed Thursday's session due to an illness. We'll circle back on Jacobs' status no later than Friday's practice to determine whether his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers is in any danger.

Jacobs registered 128 rushing yards on 31 carries during Sunday's 16-6 win against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 first-round draft choice was coming off his worst NFL rushing performance entering Week 8, as he managed just 17 yards on 10 carries the preceding Sunday against Tampa Bay's No. 1 rush defense. Jacobs may have been held to 25 or fewer receiving yards for the sixth straight game against the Browns, but his Week 8 totals established new season highs in both carries and rush yards. A matchup against the Chargers may slow down Jacobs in Las Vegas' next game, as Los Angeles has allowed just 85.8 rushing yards per contest to opposing RBs this season, surrendering an NFL-low one rushing TD to the position.

Jacobs (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was limited in all three of Vegas' practice sessions this week, but he'll be out there on game day. He was stifled by Tampa Bay's league-best run defense last time out, but Jacobs should find more running room against a Browns defense that has allowed either a rushing or receiving touchdown to an opposing running back in all but one game this season.

Jacobs (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With back-to-back limited sessions under his belt, what Jacobs is able to do at practice Friday should determine whether he approaches Sunday's game against the Browns listed as questionable or minus a Week 8 injury designation.
