Jacobs rushed 15 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions. He also caught two of four targets for 27 yards.

EDGE Analysis

After the Lions scored the game's first nine points, Jacobs took over on the Raiders' second-quarter touchdown drive, rushing six times for 38 yards on the possession, including a three-yard touchdown run to get Vegas on the board. Jacobs averaged 4.9 YPC last season, but his 4.1 YPC on Monday was actually his best single-game mark of 2023, as he came in averaging an ugly 2.9 YPC through seven games. With Jimmy Garoppolo throwing for just 126 yards in his return from a back injury, the Raiders failed to take advantage of Jacobs' solid efficiency, and the running back actually led the team in receiving yards as well. Jacobs will look to build off this effort Week 9 against the 2-6 Giants.

Jacobs carried the ball 11 times for 35 yards and caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

With Brian Hoyer getting the start at quarterback in place of Jimmy Garoppolo (back), Chicago's defense showed no fear of the Las Vegas passing game and made sure Jacobs wasn't going to beat them instead. Last season's rushing champ has yet to top 77 yards on the ground in a game this season, and that's unlikely to change in Week 8 against a Lions defense that's been among the stingiest in the league against the run in 2023.

Jacobs rushed 25 times for 77 yards and caught two of five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over New England.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs finished with 20-plus carries for the second consecutive week but was unable to replicate last week's touchdown. Las Vegas' workhorse still hasn't broken the four yards-per-carry mark in any game this season, softening his fantasy impact through six weeks. Jacobs will continue to receive all the touches he can handle despite getting off to a slow start, especially if starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is unable to suit up for next Sunday's road game against Chicago.

Jacobs rushed 20 times for 69 yards and a touchdown while catching all five of his targets for 20 yards in Monday's 17-13 win over Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs carried Las Vegas' offense with teammate Davante Adams (shoulder) playing at less than 100 percent Monday. The bruising back reached 25 combined touches for the second week in a row, resulting in consecutive games with trips to the end zone. The 25-year-old has yet to average four yards per carry in any game so far, but he is beginning to show life following an underwhelming start to the campaign. Jacobs will look to extend his touchdown streak to three games when the Raiders host the Patriots on Sunday.

Jacobs rushed the ball 17 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers. He added eight receptions on 11 targets for 81 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was the focal point of the offense to begin the game as the Raiders tried to ease rookie Aidan O'Connell into his first NFL start. However, he was unable to find much room on the ground -- he entered halftime with eight carries for 25 yards -- and game script forced Las Vegas to the air. Given that combination, the majority of Jacobs' production came as a receiver, highlighted by three gains of more than 10 yards. Jacobs also found the end zone for the first time this season with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to close the team's deficit to one score. While it wasn't the most efficient performance, Sunday's effort was by far his best fantasy effort of the campaign to date.

Jacobs rushed 17 times for 62 yards and caught three of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-18 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' early struggles continue with his third inefficient, scoreless outing in three weeks to begin the 2023 campaign. The 25-year-old still maintained his every-down role, commanding 100 percent of Las Vegas' running back carries Sunday. Jacobs got off to a similarly sluggish start in 2022, averaging just 83.7 total yards with no scores in three games before going off for 175 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4. That's not to say he will suddenly turn things around against the Chargers next Sunday, rather a reminder for fantasy managers to remain patient early in the season. That said, if there was ever an ideal opponent to get right against, it would likely be this iteration of the Chargers' defense that has allowed 450.7 yards per game this year.

Jacobs rushed the ball nine times for -2 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills. He added five receptions on six targets for 51 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was scripted out of the game early on from a rushing perspective, though he wasn't at all effective with the ball in his hands as six of his nine rushes went for zero or negative yards. He found more success as a pass catcher, an area of the game he has proven capable of consistently contributing to across the last two seasons. Even with his work as a pass catcher covering up his deficiencies on the ground, Jacobs' struggles through two games have to be noted as he's managed only 46 yards on 28 carries.

Jacobs carried the ball 19 times for 48 yards and no touchdowns while catching two of his three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs ran into the brick wall that was Denver's defensive front Sunday. On a positive note, the star back dominated the rushing touches, with only one other back (Zamir White) receiving a carry. Despite the poor production to kick off the season, fantasy managers can feel good about Jacobs' usage heading into next week's matchup against the Bills.

Jacobs believes he's ready to take on a full workload Week 1 against the Broncos on Sunday but acknowledged that whether he gets the chance to do so will be up to the coaching staff, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs held out for most of the offseason in hopes of a long-term deal before ultimately rejoining the Raiders in late August on a one-year pact. The NFL's 2022 rushing leader believes missing training camp and preseason has left him fresh to hit the ground running, but the Raiders may not think he's fully up to speed yet and thus could give Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah or Brandon Bolden more opportunities at Jacobs' expense in the season opener. Jacobs added that a personal goal for him in 2023 is to score a receiving touchdown, as none of his 160 career catches up to this point have wound up in the end zone.

Jacobs practiced Wednesday for the first time since last season, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs and the Raiders reached an agreement over the weekend to pay the running back about $1.7 million more than he would've made under the franchise tag. He says he's happy with the arrangement and doesn't harbor any hard feelings toward GM Dave Ziegler or the Raiders organization. The shaky depth behind him combined with last year's huge numbers suggest Jacobs is headed for another busy season, starting with a Week 1 trip to Denver for a 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday kickoff.
