  Raiders | Josh Jacobs injury update    Sat Jan 6, 12:14 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) is dealing with two deep bone contusions that have restricted his range of motion and prevented him from being cleared, per source on Saturday, Jan. 6. However, there is no structural damage and Jacobs is expected to be fully healthy before free agency.

Footballguys view: Good news for Jacobs as he's entering free agency this offseason. He's not playing in Week 18 against the Broncos, and the Raiders can keep feeding RB Zamir White. Jacobs will land somewhere in 2024, likely with a starting job but he may not get the contract he could have due to this injury.

  Raiders | Josh Jacobs will be GTD    Fri Dec 29, 11:57 AM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) is expected to be a game-time decision for the Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to the team Friday, Dec. 29.

Footballguys view: Just what Fantasy GMs did not need. Jacobs may play against the Colts, but he may not. Everyone loves what RB Zamir White did in Week 16 (22 carries, 145 yards) and would love to see him get another shot as the starter for the Raiders. If Jacobs doesn't play, we like White as an RB2 with upside in Week 17.

  Raiders | Good news for Josh Jacobs    Wed Dec 20, 02:46 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs was 'close to' playing last week, interim head coach Antonio Pierce said on Wednesday, Dec. 20. Pierce also added, 'if I had to be a betting man, I would think he would play this game.'

Footballguys view: That's a good sign that Jacobs should be out there, but we'll still monitor the injury report as the week goes on. The Raiders play on Monday against the Chiefs, so Saturday's report is the main one to monitor.

  Raiders | Josh Jacobs limps to locker room    Sun Dec 10, 06:47 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (knee) suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 14 game against the Minnesota Vikings, and he limped off to the locker room midway through the final quarter in regulation. He had 13 carries for 34 yards before departing, while adding two receptions for 16 yards on two targets.

Footballguys view: Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah replaced Jacobs, but there's no compelling pickup here if Jacobs is going to miss time. He gave the Raiders his all even though they are going nowhere this year and fired their coach midseason.

  Raiders | Josh Jacobs doesn't do much in Miami    Sun Nov 19, 05:34 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs rushed 14 times for a team-high 39 yards in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins, averaging just 2.8 yards per attempt. He also added a 12-yard reception on his lone target.

Footballguys view: The Raiders played from behind most of the game, but only one score behind, so Jacobs light workload is curious. His workhorse back role means he has to stay in your lineup against the Chiefs, but you'd like to see more passing game involvement if the Raiders are going to lean on Aidan O'Connell this much to move the offense.

  Raiders | Josh Jacobs held in check    Sun Oct 22, 04:11 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs rushed for 35 yards on 11 carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. He also caught one pass for six yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Jacobs had what looked like a touchdown catch, but couldn't get both feet down inbounds upon review. After some glimmers of hope, Jacobs is back to having the value that comes with being the clear lead back in one of the leagues worst offenses. The Ravens broke through against the Lions defense today, but the Raiders aren't nearly as well-equipped to compete with them Monday night. Jacobs remains in lineups because of his guaranteed volume and role, and we'll hope Jimmy Garoppolo can stay healthy for the rest of the season.

  Raiders | Josh Jacobs falling short at breaking tackles    Wed Oct 18, 03:19 AM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs has broken only one tackle on 107 carries in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference.

Footballguys view: Against the Bears on Sunday in Week 7, Jacobs should be able to do more in the tackle-breaking department. Jacobs is putting up RB2 numbers this season so far, but against the Bears, we could see him push for the best day for a fantasy back in Week 7.
