LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Seattle Seahawks

Josh Jacobs had a nice outing against the Broncos last week, rushing for 109 yards on 24 carries and adding three receptions and 51 yards in the passing game. Jacobs is averaging 21.7 touches per game this season and has 34 receptions, giving him one of the highest floors of any running back in the league on a week-to-week basis.

Jacobs should thrive this week against a Seahawks defense that ranks 24th in aFPA to opposing running backs. With Jacobs’ workload and consistent production this season, he’s a must-start in all league formats. The matchup is just icing on the cake.

LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Denver Broncos

Josh Jacobs had a nice game in a loss to the Colts last week, gaining 106 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 21 carries and six receptions. He had a season-high eight targets, which is encouraging to see, and it was his seventh trip to the end zone on the year.

This week, Jacobs has a tough matchup against the Broncos, who rank fourth in aFPA to opposing running backs. His workload makes him a must-start, but temper expectations in what could be a low-scoring affair. Still, keep him active and we have him ranked just inside our top-10 running backs this week.

LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Josh Jacobs has cooled off the past couple of weeks compared to his blistering run from Weeks 4 through 7. He’s still fourth in the league in rushing yards, however, and he has a solid 25 receptions for 172 receiving yards as well.

This week, Jacobs faces a Colts defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing running backs. The Colts are in a downward spiral right now and are struggling heavily on offense, so game script should lean in Jacobs’ favor. With his workload, he’s worth starting every game and we have him ranked as a solid RB1 in Week 10.

LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Josh Jacobs was held to just 43 yards on 10 carries last week, adding two reception and 11 receiving yards to his total. He was largely affected by game script, as the Raiders got down early and had to abandon the run game as they were shut out by the Saints. Expect that to be an anomaly for Jacobs, and for better production to follow.

This week, Jacobs faces a Jaguars defense that ranks 27th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Jacobs should thrive in a great matchup against a struggling offense. The game should be closer, allowing the Raiders to use Jacobs more, and not have to abandon the run this week. Start Jacobs as a top-five fantasy back this week.

LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New Orleans Saints

Josh Jacobs had a monster game last week against the Texans, rushing for 143 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. He has at least 20 touches in four out of six games this year and has even been active in the passing game with 20 receptions on 22 targets. He’s been a true workhorse for the Las Vegas offense.

This week, Jacobs faces a historically good Saints run defense, but one that has struggled in 2022. They rank 21st in aFPA to opposing running backs and Eno Benjamin carved them up last week. Jacobs’ workload and his ability to find the end zone make him a must-start every week and we have him inside our top-five running back options for Week 8.

LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Houston Texans

Josh Jacobs had a great game against the Chiefs before the bye last week, rushing for 154 yards and a touchdown. He also added five catches and 39 receiving yards. While the Chiefs still won the game, the Raiders nearly pulled it off, largely because Kansas City had no answer for Jacobs. He has two straight games with over 100 yards on the ground now, and he has at least 11 touches in every outing this season.

This week, Jacobs faces a Texans defense that ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing running backs. If the Raiders can even slow down the Houston offense, Jacobs should see a ton of work and have plenty of room to operate. He’s a must-start in all leagues.

LV RB Josh Jacobs - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Kansas City Chiefs

Josh Jacobs had a great game last week against the Broncos. The Raiders relied on him for 28 carries and five receptions, and he delivered 175 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. It was a good division win for the team, and Jacobs was a major part of it.

This week, Jacobs faces a Chiefs defense that ranks 28th in aFPA to opposing running backs. While they shut down the Tampa Bay running game last week – six total attempts for three yards – they did allow 12 catches, 107 yards, and a touchdown receiving to the duo of Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White. Expect another busy day for Jacobs, and we have him ranked as a solid RB2 option in all leagues.
