Pulled at end of third, most of them.

Jacobs with some very good runs to start this game.
Then they bring in Richard for 3rd down and try to run with him. He barely got the first down.
No idea where this game thread is.

So, who is Jacob's main backup - Richard or ???. Could be work a pickup for a Jacobs owner like me.

DeAndre Washington would be lead back, Richard would be third down or and-long back.
Roster them at your own liking, as Jacobs made them go up front, even.

I am leaning towards Richard in PPR.

Me too. Richard was already getting 30%-40% of snaps with Jacobs healthy (he has 28% of snaps on the year). Richard should get at least 50% of snaps if Jacobs is out. Richard has much more value in PPR if snaps are evenly split. Washington could get a lot more snaps than Richard if the Raiders get a big lead but that isn't likely.

Agree about the PPR value of Richard over Washington.
RB 2 has been rough this year for me. Guice in my line-up now but just picked up Richard and will roll him out if Jacobs is out. I think Jacobs plays this week but if Oakland loses, they night shut him down.

I picked up Powell and Washington last night. I think I'm going with Bilal. I think he's a much better play than Washington if Jacobs sits.

I agree with this. Jacobs has been playing with this shoulder since week 7 but he hasn't missed Thursday practice before and he did nothing really on Friday..

#Raiders RB Josh Jacobs underwent an MRI on his ailing shoulder after not playing on Sunday. But the scans checked out very positively, sources say, and Jacobs is expected to return to the field this week. Barring a setback, should be just a one-week absence.

I'm surprised at how low he's ranked by FBGs this week. He's been one of the steadier backs this year. I know he was held out last week because of broken shoulder, but with a positive MRI, why would Oakland throw him back in there if they were fearful of a worse injury? Seems like he would be a good play against the JAX def.

They are slow to adapting to the news. They still see him not playing or split with Washington until the picture is clear.

My exact thoughts concerning Dalvin Cook last week.
However, Washington owners may have a ray of hope yet. Roto is reporting that Jacobs is no lock to play this week, despite the "positive" news concerning his shoulder. After all, I am assuming that it is still "fractured".

Hadn’t seen that. Certainly sounds less optimistic than some other reports.
He definitely still has a fractured shoulder and as far as I know there’s always a risk of further injuring a fracture, so I really don’t see the logic in continuing to play him and risk his health for next year.

Attaboy, OROY -- suit up and ground and pound, baby.

Please. This is a dream matchup. I read that Raiders are making a big push to get Jacobs offensive rookie of the year. Last home game ever... Let the boy eat.

Game Time Decision. Jacobs just admitted it in a tweet
Everytime you suit up there’s risk. Ima roll the dice
Well, if they let me

Dear God, that must be PFF. Their fantasy coverage since Mike Clay left is abominable.
Jacobs was on both of my main fantasy teams last year, one standard and one PPR. He was a great RB2 in standard, a good one in PPR. Couldn't ask for more but PPR catches.
He's now considered worth more than 1.01 in dynasty.

I actually think this article highlights the problem.
They resigned Richard. He had 60 something receptions in 2018. He ate 36 last year, which is obviously a huge drop--but the fact that they resigned him isn't insignificant.
They drafted Bowden. Bowden played WR primarily at Kentucky before injuries forced him into the starting QB role. Even at QB, he was a glorified RB taking the snaps. I suspect with his pass catching skills, they're going to look to get Bowden into open space.
Between the 2 guys, I worry that his receiving upside is capped right now. Which is a shame if so. He's explosive catching the ball. Definitely a situation to monitor.
