Footballguys view: Richard was banged up against the Broncos which gave way to more Devontae Booker. The Raiders have found a nice backup in Booker, who was a bust with the Broncos. We should continue to see Booker as that backup behind starter Josh Jacobs going forward. |

Las Vegas Raiders RB Jalen Richard rushed twice for 26 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown scamper, in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Jalen Richard is expected to serve as a 'pass-catching threat' out of the backfield in 2020, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.
Footballguys view: No surprise here. Josh Jacobs is the lead back and he should get a heavy workload in 2020 as the centerpiece of the Raiders offense. When he needs a breather or the team is in an obvious passing situations then Richard could see the field. In PPR leagues, Richard is more of a RB5 or 'what the heck' flex on a weekly basis. |

Oakland Raiders RB Jalen Richard rushed twice for four yards in Week 12 against the New York Jets and he added six receptions for a team-high 47 yards on seven targets.
Footballguys view: Richard is coming on as the Raiders are falling off. He was a favored target today because Hunter Renfrow got hurt and because the offense struggled to move the ball. He's getting on the radar in deep PPR leagues. |

Oakland Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (shoulder) was upgraded to a limited practice while WR Tyrell Williams (foot) remained a limited participant Friday, Oct. 25; both players are listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Houston Texans.

WR Dwayne Harris (ankle), C Rodney Hudson (ankle), OG Gabe Jackson (knee), DE Arden Key (knee) and RB Jalen Richard (ankle) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
Footballguys view: A limited practice might be enough to get back on the field for the rookie, but he's a game time decision. DeAndre Washington would be the best back to turn to if Jacobs is out and you need a desperation play. |

Oakland Raiders RB Jalen Richard could lose a 'good chunk' of his snaps on receiving downs to RB Josh Jacobs, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
Footballguys view: Reports seem to vary coming out of Oakland. Some reporters think Jacobs is going to get a majority of the touches, while others think Richard will cut into Jacobs touches. We feel that Jacobs will be the top rusher for the Raiders in 2019, but they should use Richard as a change-of-pace back when the talented rookie needs a breather. |
Jalen Richard player page
Josh Jacobs player page

Oakland Raiders RB Jalen Richard is expected to have a solid role in the passing game this upcoming season.
Footballguys view: This goes along with the report that rookie RB Josh Jacobs may come off the field in certain passing situations. Richard is good in space and can make defenders miss after the catch. They should use Jacobs as much as possible, but give him a breather with Richard getting some snaps/time/targets/touches. |
Jalen Richard player page

Oakland Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is expected to be the team's primary back this season and see most of the opportunities on first and second down, in the opinion of NBC Sports Bay Area's Scott Bair, who writes that RB Doug Martin will be primarily used as injury protection rather than to spell Jacobs during games. RB Jalen Richard is expected to see opportunities on third down.
Footballguys view: Jacobs has a lot of tread left on the tires and was one of the best passing down backs in the draft. Jon Gruden ran Cadillac Williams into the ground in his rookie year, so Jacobs could have high volume right off of the bat. He's an upside RB2 pick in a crowded 3rd-4th round tier. |

Oakland Raiders RB Jalen Richard's 68 catches in 2018 ranked seventh among running backs, and his 607 receiving yards were the sixth most at the position,
Footballguys view: A restricted free agent in 2019, Richard is expected to return to the team next season. If that happens, Richard's role should be the same for the Raiders next season. |

Oakland Raiders restricted free-agent RB Jalen Richard is expected to return to the team next season.
