Faust 5,636 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Quote Josh Jacobs rushed 26 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' Week 15 overtime loss to the Chargers, adding three receptions for 38 additional yards. Jacobs entered the proceedings with an ankle issue and exited it with a knee injury. In between, he was running into one brick wall after another on early downs as Marcus Mariota piled up one big play after another with his legs. Jacobs got stood up on five different carries inside the Chargers' five-yard line, though he thankfully turned a sixth into a one-yard score in the third quarter when he went over the top of the pile. Otherwise, it was an inefficient, unwatchable mess of a performance. The awful stat line is all the more remarkable because Jacobs actually uncorked a 20-yard run, just his second of the season. Jacobs thankfully has nine days to heal up for Week 16 against the Dolphins, but he will be a low-ceiling RB2 whose entire fantasy case rests on volume.

Stompin' Tom Connors 4,244 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 From a fantasy perspective, it's deceiving as he leaves you wanting more, but he gets the yards and grinds and is a bona fide Top 10 RB just as I thought he would be (sitting 8th in my league, anyway). He's not flashy and doesn't have too many break away runs, but he's super solid. From an NFL perspective, such a tough runner and a real joy to watch. The only thing I could say is that he could have more burst and speed through the line -- but I think that's actually more purposeful than a fault in his game. Raiders have a massive O-line that create lanes, and Jacobs shows really great patience in looking for holes to open. That gets him stuffed sometimes, but it's also the key to success behind how that line can play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smack Tripper 2,748 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I see a lot of Marshawn Lynch in him. I do like his ability to take a pounding, I'm sure it will catch up with him, but while he's been unspectacular apart from 2 games, he's fairly steady. Mixon and Drake owners probably wish they had him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sho nuff 17,193 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Solid without being flashy seems about right. Also last night you see the receptions and wonder why they don't use him in the passing game more. He made great moves on at least 2 of those that set them up nicely. Yeah...could have been a huge night...getting stuffed a few times at the goalline does not help. But a 17ish point start to the semifinals will definitely work for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know if it’s him or the offense but he’s just another guy out there. I probably will because it seems arbitrary to when he will be fed carries. I don’t think its him. He looks good and runs hard...offense isn’t featuring him. 5 carries in the first half yesterday. 43 yards. Was ripping off 10 yard runs and he touched the ball 5 times. Most other teams would have had him with 10 carries and not thrown the ball 20 times in the half with a qb with a groin injury. And Jacobs and Carr trying to do the right thing left time for them to lose. Be selfish there next time big guy...get the TD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 5,636 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Quote Josh Jacobs rushed 13 times for 69 yards in the Raiders' Week 16 loss to the Dolphins. Jacobs could have found the end zone but stopped went down on purpose within the five-yard line multiple times in order to set the Raiders up for a last-second field goal. He ran the ball efficiently, averaging 5.3 yards per carry versus a solid Miami defense. However, Jacobs did not see a single target and that has been a common downfall for him from a fantasy perspective. If he doesn't score a touchdown, Jacobs doesn't have the pass-catching role to salvage a quiet rushing day. he remains a low-end RB1 versus the Broncos next week.

The Frankman 3,372 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Quote Josh Jacobs rushed 15 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Broncos. It ends a uneven 2020 for Jacobs, who ran for fewer yards (1,065) and averaged just 3.9 YPC in his second season. Jacobs's 12 touchdowns were a bright spot, but the preseason hype over his pass game usage was a bust, with Jacobs finishing with just 72 more receiving yards despite playing in 15 games. Jacobs, who had 306 touches, looks more volume dependent than a true workhorse back. With only Devontae Booker and Jalen Richard behind him, the Raiders could add competition for Jacobs this offseason. - Rotoworld Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,636 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Rotoworld take: Quote ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports Josh Jacobs was arrested for DUI in Las Vegas Monday morning. He was involved in a single-vehicle collision near McCarran Airport Monday morning and immediately transported to a local hospital for minor injuries. He was taken to the Clark County Detention Center and booked for DUI upon getting cleared. With the Raiders out of the playoffs, Jacobs is looking at a significant fine once all charges have been processed this offseason.

General overstatement; but yes and no to your underlying point. Yes: Jacobs will now need to share touches moreso, possibly much moreso than before. No: Drake may elevate the offense as a whole, leading to more G/L looks/touches for Jacobs; and even more importantly, Jacobs has been an early season stud and late season dud 2/2 NFL seasons due to IMO overuse. For the first time, there's another dynamic dual threat RB on the roster with him. Maybe he loses some opps early, but if it keeps him fresh for the 2nd half of the season, that is where the real value lies, in both real and fantasy football. X-factor: starting OL is in near-total rebuild mode. Good news is the reality isn't as bad as the headlines. Raiders OL depth and coaching is solid; Raiders starting OL was overrated the last two seasons - depth carried them, as multiple starting OL have been injured; those former depth players will now be starters, better or worse. Can they step up into regular starting roles? Can the team rebuild depth for when injuries strike again?
