Raiders look like they are finally figuring out what they got...

Yup - a guy they didn't pick up his 5th year option on and is about to walk and get paaaaid. Raiders are such a poorly ran franchise. I feel bad for the fans.

The LV fans are in a much better place this season compared to the last three under Gruden. They can still extend JJ but were wise to see how he fits in the new McDaniels O. Jacobs looks great now and I hope he finishes strong and remains a Raider if the price is right. The Raiders don’t need to do something dumb like Dallas did with Zeke.
 
Running hard. Proving me a bit wrong. I always thought he was easily the Radiers's best back, but I thought he was drafted too highly (he was) and was a mediocre, no long speed RB at the pro level (he's not).
 
Also, he's not getting paid like Kamara or Cook or anyone like that. He's not as good as they are.

The Raiders will likely use all the leverage they have and say goodbye to a running back if the price gets too high.
 

Josh Jacobs rushed 20 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns in the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Texans.​


After rushing for a career-high 154 yards in Week 5, Jacobs continued his hot running in Week 7. Averaging an impressive 7.2 YPC on the afternoon, Jacobs scored from four, seven and 15 yards out, mauling the Texans' helpless defense all afternoon. Jacobs had seven carries of 10 or more yards on the day and has now rushed for 140+ yards in three-straight games. The Raiders are likely to continue feeding Jacobs as long as game script permits. Looking like one of the top backs in the league, Jacobs should be treated as an RB1 next week against the Saints.

Josh has always been a solid RB when healthy, but this year he's leveled up his quick twitch, noticably, without sacrificing his vision or power. Dude is easily playing like a top 5 NFL and fantasy RB right now. Stay healthy and hungry and reach greater, good man. 2022 be yours.

So you’re saying he went super Saiyan 2 vs ultra super saiyan.

He’s been absolutely monstrous but even these stat lines seem like really big career outliers
 
Gruden had absolutely no clue what he had in this guy and almost sabotaged his career. Never thought McDaniels would get this right with his history in NE but he clearly realizes the talent was undeniable.
 
I don't know that there's another current RB I'd want on the Raiders right now over Josh Jacobs.

FYI - officially, statistically a top-5 fantasy RB after week 7 - and the fantasy #2 RB overall PPG.

Hair on Fire

Special shout out to Raiders OL and Josh McDaniels' slow, but steady development of that unit in season. Nice lanes in the vid above.

So disappointed that I wasn't able to get a piece of him. I expected a nice season and value but nothing like this! He's doing what we expected Jonathan Taylor to do. I was 1 pick away from him in a league but the person ahead of me took him and so I went with AJ Dillon instead. What a ridiculous difference that made to my team.

Who do we think the handcuff is for Jacobs when he inevitably breaks down?

Someone is mad they didn’t draft him; to answer your question, Zamir is the guy if Jacobs misses time. Anyone can get hurt, but I love betting on guys in contract years.

Not sure who the mad person is. I've got Jacobs, I'm just looking to get insurance. High volume RBs miss time. Best to be prepared. Hope to never need it.
 
Josh Jacobs rushed 17 times for 67 yards and caught three balls for 20 yards on three targets in the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Jaguars.

It's been a tough last couple weeks for Jacobs with back-to-back scoreless games, rushing for a combined 27/110/0 line against the Saints and Jaguars. His down rushing day came with the Raiders actually nursing a 17-0 first-half lead, too, which is concerning, and it was a lead the Raiders eventually lost. Jacobs had a couple runs wiped out by penalties. He'll try to bounce back next week against the Colts, but we're seeing signs of pre-2022 Jacobs the last two weeks. He remains a rock-solid RB1/2 based on volume alone.

Fantasy Football Six Pack: JuJu Smith-Schuster has joined some elite company

Excerpt:

11 – Josh Jacobs has been relatively quiet over the past two weeks, producing just 141 scrimmage yards on 32 touches without a touchdown. But let the record show that he was credited by PFF with 11 missed tackles forced on Sunday, the week's second-highest total among all running backs. He's now tied with Nick Chubb for the NFL lead in missed tackles (51). The quality of his play has definitely not regressed, even if the fantasy totals have slipped. Without question, you can trust him against the Colts in Week 10.

Josh Jacobs (ankle) is questionable for Week 12 against the Seahawks.​

Jacobs was surprisingly added to the injury report with an ankle issue on Friday. He got in a limited practice before being listed as questionable. This could be nothing, but fantasy managers should monitor the situation on Sunday. The Raiders play in the second window of games, so emergency replacements for Jacobs would be scarce. Zamir White could inherit Jacobs' work on the ground, but the rookie has been a healthy scratch multiple times this year.

Anyone worth picking up?

Z. White?

Surprised there hasn't been as much follow up on how this is the window for Zamir White to see some meaningful action. Late week injuries are typically pretty real indicator of a serious issue for players that same week and I think of calf strains being in the same category as hamstrings. They linger and are easily reinjured. If it just cropped up on Friday, I would be a bit bearish on Josh Jacobs this week and hope to have a backup. Zamir is essentially free to and I think that would be the savvy move.

I personally dropped Kadarious Toney since at this point of the season, it is all about upside or DST playoff matchups.

Feels top-15 in RB dynasty rankings. Maybe higher.

Top 15? I am thinking Top 10 and maybe higher, he has outplayed a lot of guys drafted way ahead of him.

Might be steal of the year depends on where you drafted him. Guy is playing like a top 6-10 back.

I’d say top 12-ish if his future was a more known quantity. As bad as a the raiders‘ record is, they use the heck out of him in that offense and he’d do well (and the raiders would do well) to resign him. Then the raiders have all of their offensive pieces in place (OLine even coming together) and then they can focus on defense, defense, defense. (Deja vu from the past 10+ seasons)

Was so wrong about this guy preseason. Wanted none of him, got none of him, and hate myself for that. What a beast.

He gets stronger as the game goes on and it was a complete joke that he even appeared on the injury report. There was obviously no doubt by the Raider brass that he was playing yesterday.

I mentioned before that the raiders are so much better when they feed him...some games though...
 
Raiders formula for winning should be run to set up pass, and hit Adams who will be open against man coverage always. Hit Hollins on long bombs in man coverage. As long as it starts with Jacobs they should win games.

Nov-end temperature check: Boiling Hot

Through 2/3 of the 2022 season, Josh Jacobs is now the RB1 in fantasy football. Not an RB1. THE #1 overall RB. :ph34r:
