OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
In Week 10, Jacobs finished as the half PPR RB8 with 16 rushing attempts for 71 yards, one touchdown and three receptions on five targets for 30 yards. Jacobs' role in the passing game has been limited this season but he set a season-high in targets last week.

Jacobs is in one of the best possible running back matchups this week. The Raiders are favored by 11 points at home, implied for a week high 29.75 points, and matchup against the Bengals who are third-worst against running backs, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Jacobs ranked as a high end half PPR RB1. Jacobs is a must-start in all league formats.

OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
In Week 9, Jacobs finished as the half PPR RB4 with 28 rushing attempts for 120 yards, two touchdowns and zero receptions on two targets. DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard’s usage in the passing game continues to limit Jacobs’ PPR ceiling but he has proven to be more than capable of putting up top 10 running back numbers with limited receptions.

The Chargers defense is better against wide receivers than running backs. They are eleventh best against wide receivers but seventh worst against running backs, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. Jacobs has another good matchup this week and should produce good fantasy numbers with his offensive line creating large running lanes against an injury plagued Chargers defensive line. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Jacobs ranked as a low end half PPR RB1.

OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Detroit Lions
In Week 8, Jacobs finished as the half PPR RB28 with 15 rushing attempts for 66 yards and two receptions for 15 yards. DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard’s usage continues to limit Jacobs’ ceiling but he has had a great rookie season so far.

Detroit is the seventh-worst defense against the running back position, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. Keep an eye on the health of two Detroit defensive linemen, Mike Daniels and Damon Harrison, because their absence would greatly benefit Jacobs. This game has the second-highest over/under (50.5). 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Jacobs ranked as a low-end half PPR RB1.

OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Houston Texans

Monitor his health status (shoulder) closely because he did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Jacobs said he could play on Sunday without practicing this week but generally coaches do not like to play rookies if they haven’t practiced during the week.

In Week 7, Jacobs finished with 21 rushing attempts for 124 yards and three receptions for 10 yards.

Houston is the eighth best defense against the running back position, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. If Jacobs is cleared to play, he will look to find the end zone in a game with the second highest over/under (51.5) of the week. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Jacobs ranked as the half PPR RB15.

OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Green Bay Packers
The Raiders had a bye in Week 6.

The Packers are good against quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends but they have been vulnerable to running backs. They are sixth-worst against running backs, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric but ninth-best against wide receivers. They are a perfect example of a run funnel defense. However, the Raiders will be without their right tackle, Trent Brown, who is inactive for Week 7 with a calf injury. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Jacobs ranked as the half PPR RB12. The Raiders are only implied for 20 points but Jacobs could still produce top 12 running back numbers this week.

OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Chicago Bears in London

Before the game against the Colts, Jon Gruden said, “We’ve got to get more out of Josh as a receiver.” Was Jacobs more involved in the passing game? Of course not! Jacobs had two targets, while DeAndre Washington had three and Jalen Richard had one. The Raiders put up 31 points in a shocking road upset but Jacobs was held out of the endzone. He finished with 17 rushing attempts for 79 yards. Jacobs scored two touchdowns in the season opener but hasn’t scored since.

Touchdowns are extremely hard to predict but his scoreless streak may continue this week against the Bears are third-best against running backs, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4 rankings expert John Paulsen has Jacobs ranked as the half PPR RB23.

OAK RB Josh Jacobs - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Indianapolis Colts

Josh Jacobs Week 3 performance requires context. The game got out of hand early and Jacobs was dealing with an illness. This helps to explain why Jalen Richard played 29 snaps, DeAndre Washington played nine snaps, and Jacobs only played 25 snaps. Jacobs finished with 10 rushing attempts for 44 yards, and zero receptions on two targets. On Monday, Jon Gruden said, “We’ve got to get more out of Josh as a receiver.” The Raiders are road underdogs (+7), so we should be able to see if Gruden is serious or using coach speak.

Jacobs could bounce back this week because the Colts are fifth-worst against running backs, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. The Colts scheme towards allowing short passes to running backs rather than giving up big downfield plays to wide receivers. 4for4 rankings expert John Paulsen has Jacobs ranked as the Half PPR RB19.
