Josh Jacobs Will Play In Week 18
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip, personal) did not practice on Thursday or Friday but is officially active for Saturday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacobs had been spending time with his father in the hospital this week but flew to Las Vegas on Friday night after his father told him he wanted to see him play. The Raiders have already been eliminated from playoff contention but will hope to end the season on a high note against a division rival. With the 2022-2023 NFL rushing title in his sights, Jacobs should be viewed as an elite fantasy option for his season finale.

The league's rushing leader is coming off an impressive outing against the stout San Francisco defense, racking up 95 total yards and a touchdown. The team will host Kansas City in Week 18, offering Jacobs another chance to finish as a top-12 back.

The 24-year-old has been excelling despite not being 100 percent healthy, and he enters Week 15 as the RB1 in overall fantasy points in 2022. In the last four games, Jacobs has 581 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 110 rushing attempts, adding 13 catches for 146 additional yards. Keep him locked into your starting lineups as a high-end RB1 against the Patriots.
Dec 16, 2022 • 11:39 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Limited Again In Thursday's Practice
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand, quadriceps) remained a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Jacobs picked up a hand injury in last Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams and looked to be in a good deal of pain, but the fact that he hasn't missed any practice time this week suggests he'll be fine to play this weekend against the New England Patriots. The 24-year-old has been questionable going into the last three games, but he's hasn't missed any time, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried if he picks up another questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. Jacobs has been the most valuable fantasy RB in 2022 and needs to stay in all fantasy starting lineups if he's active against New England.
Dec 16, 2022 • 12:34 AM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Limited In Wednesday's Practice
After suffering a hand injury in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand, quadriceps) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jacobs looked to be in a fair bit of pain after suffering a hand injury last Thursday night, but he played through it and should continue to do so in Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had 27 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for 15 yards in the loss to the Rams last week. Jacobs remains the overall RB1 in half-point PPR scoring through 14 weeks of the 2022 season with 11 total touchdowns (all rushing), and he'll remain a must-start RB1 in all fantasy lineups this weekend.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (finger) had X-rays done on his pinkie finger during the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, but they came back negative, so there shouldn't be much concern about his availability moving forward. Jacobs was able to finish the game against the Rams on Thursday after a brief exit and posted 99 rushing yards and a touchdown on 27 attempts. Jacobs continues to be a breakout fantasy football star, so his latest injury update is a sigh of relief for his fantasy managers as the fantasy playoffs begin next week.
Dec 9, 2022 • 6:10 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Returns To Game On Thursday Night
Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand) left the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams for part of the third quarter to deal with a hand injury. He re-entered the game and seems to still be in pain. As he tried to stiff-arm a defender, a replay showed him grimacing in the process. Fantasy managers will still want to keep tabs on his health once the game is over. The good news is that they have an extended break before their Week 15 game against the New England Patriots.
Dec 9, 2022 • 3:34 AM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Questionable To Return With Hand Injury
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand) left Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams mid-way through the third quarter with an apparent hand injury. The team officially ruled that he was questionable to return to the game. He went to the locker room to get X-rays. On the broadcast, he seemed to be holding onto his pinkie finger as he walked away. Before he left, he amassed 73 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries with one catch for eight yards. Fantasy managers should check back for any updates, as this would be a big blow for both the Raiders and fantasy teams if he has to miss any time right before the fantasy playoffs.

The 24-year-old was questionable coming into this game due to lingering calf and quad injuries. However, it appears Jacobs is good to go and should have his normal workload during this contest. Jacobs has been putting on a show lately and is a must-start against this Rams defense in Week 14.
Dec 8, 2022 • 11:52 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Expected To Play Thursday Night
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) is expected to play Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Jacobs has been fantastic this season, rushing for 1,303 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 42 passes for 331 yards over 12 games. Jacobs is a must-start in any format against a banged-up Rams defense that will be without star Aaron Donald.
Dec 8, 2022 • 1:47 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Questionable For Thursday Night Football
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) was limited in practice again on Wednesday and is officially listed as questionable for a Week 14 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. Jacobs has been dealing with a calf injury for a few weeks now, but it has not sidelined him for a contest nor slowed him down in any capacity, as he has finished as a fantasy RB1 in four straight games. Fantasy managers should monitor Jacobs' status leading up to Thursday night's kickoff, but he will remain a must-start option assuming he is active.
Dec 7, 2022 • 11:22 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Limited Again On Tuesday
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf, quadriceps) has been dealing with injuries the past two weeks, but it hasn't impacted his production. In fact, he's actually had two of his best games all year, rushing for 273 yards and three touchdowns on 59 carries, adding eight receptions for 80 yards. The 24-year-old was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday, which is not surprising considering the heavy workload. He does not appear to be in any danger of missing Thursday's game against the Rams, meaning he'll be locked into lineups again in what should be another great performance. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his practice report on Wednesday and game status on Thursday, but the expectation is he'll be good to.
Dec 7, 2022 • 1:13 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Listed As Limited Monday
Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf, quadriceps), Ameer Abdullah (hamstring) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were all listed as limited participants on Monday's estimated practice report. Jacobs had his third straight 100-yard rushing performance and added a touchdown in the Week 13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In his last three games, he's carried the ball 83 times for 482 yards and three touchdowns, adding 11 receptions on 13 targets for 131 yards through the air. The 24-year-old has been the most valuable fantasy RB in 2022. The Raiders could take it easy on him this week and he might draw another questionable tag for the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, but it's likely that he'll play. Jacobs needs to remain firmly locked into all starting fantasy lineups.
Dec 5, 2022 • 11:21 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Will Play In Week 13
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf), who was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13 due to his calf injury, will play, according to a source. The Raiders wanted to evaluate Jacobs during pre-game warmups, but apparently he's already convinced them that he's healthy enough to suit up. The 24-year-old is the RB1 in fantasy entering Sunday's action after he destroyed the Seattle Seahawks on the ground for over 200 yards last week. He should see plenty of touches yet again against a shaky Chargers run defense, making him an absolute must-start in fantasy lineups.
Dec 4, 2022 • 5:09 PM | RotoBallerRaiders Are Optimistic About Josh Jacobs Playing In Week 13
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) appears to be a legitimate game-time decision for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. He was limited in practice throughout the week due to a calf injury he suffered in Week 12. The organization is optimistic that Jacobs will be able to suit up this week. The Raiders are likely going to wait and see how he feels in warmups before making a final decision. He'll be a strong RB1, assuming he's able to play. Otherwise, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White would split the workload with Brandon Bolden (calf) questionable as well.
Dec 4, 2022 • 2:27 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Listed As Limited Wednesday
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was listed as a limited practice participant during Wednesday's walkthrough. It was just an estimation, but it's still a good sign after Jacobs aggravated a left calf injury in the Week 12 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old had 33 carries for a career-high 229 yards and two touchdowns while adding six catches for an additional 74 yards last Sunday to carry fantasy managers. The overall RB1 in fantasy in 2022 could be questionable to face the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday, though, but hopefully we'll have a better idea of his status before game time. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his practice status the rest of the week. If he's out or limited against the Bolts, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White could split the backfield.
Dec 1, 2022 • 12:43 AM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Hoping To Play In Week 13
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is not expected to practice much, if at all this week due to his calf strain, according to sources. He'll receive around-the-clock treatment in hopes of playing in Week 13 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Fantasy managers should expect Jacobs to be questionable for this weekend's game after he aggravated a calf strain in the Week 12 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks when he rumbled for a season-high 229 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries. The 24-year-old is the RB1 in half-point PPR scoring this year, so he'll be a must-start if he's active against the Bolts. If he doesn't get cleared this week, Ameer Abdullah would likely lead a backfield that would also include Brandon Bolden and rookie Zamir White. Abdullah is worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup this week.
Nov 29, 2022 • 5:02 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Officially Active Week 12
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. There was some concern about Jacobs' status after he was a late addition to the injury report on Friday, but in the end, he's going to be active for his 25th consecutive game. The 24-year-old has totaled 930 rushing yards, 251 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns this season. He should be viewed as a strong RB1 option once again this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. There was some concern about Jacobs' status after he was a late addition to the injury report on Friday, but it looks like he's on track to play. The 24-year-old has totaled 930 rushing yards, 251 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns this season. He should be viewed as a strong RB1 option once again this week.
Nov 27, 2022 • 1:20 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Questionable To Play In Week 12
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was added to the injury report on Friday after getting in a limited practice, and he's officially listed as questionable to play in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. It's never a good sign when players are late additions to the injury report, so Jacobs' status bears watching heading into Sunday's game. If the 24-year-old is limited or out this weekend, the Raiders would probably roll with some form of a committee backfield that includes Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah, Brittain Brown and rookie Zamir White. Through 11 weeks of the 2022 season, Jacobs is the RB5 in half-point PPR scoring, so he'll be a high-end, must-start RB1 if he's active.
Nov 25, 2022 • 11:05 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Off The Injury Report
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Jacobs logged a few limited practices during the week but returned for a full session on Friday. The 24-year-old has been on a roll, amassing 441 yards and six touchdowns off 69 carries while totaling 13 catches in his last three games. With Davante Adams (illness), Mack Hollins (heel), and Darren Waller (hamstring) questionable, Jacobs could be even more involved in Week 8, keeping him a must-start in all formats.
Oct 29, 2022 • 3:16 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Limited Again Thursday
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) put in another limited practice on Thursday. There's nothing to suggest that Jacobs is in danger of missing or being limited for the Week 8 contest against the New Orleans Saints. The 24-year-old has been carrying fantasy teams of late with a whopping 441 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 69 carries in the last three games after not finding the end zone in the first three games of the season. Jacobs is an absolute must-start RB1 for fantasy managers in Week 8 against a Saints defense that has allowed the ninth-most half-points PPR points to RBs in the last three weeks of action.
Oct 27, 2022 • 11:28 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs On The Week 8 Injury Report
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) is on the Week 8 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Jacobs should be good to go for Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints, so fantasy managers need to leave him locked into their starting lineups as a surefire RB1. The 24-year-old had his third straight 100-yard rushing game in the Week 7 win over the Houston Texans and currently ranks fourth in total fantasy points at the position in half-point PPR setups. Jacobs didn't find the end zone in the first three weeks, but in the last three games, he's found the end zone six times on the ground while rushing for 441 yards on 69 carries (6.39 yards per tote). He's carrying fantasy teams right now.
Oct 27, 2022 • 12:08 AM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Will Play In Week 3
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) will play in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans after being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. Jacobs flew private to Tennessee on Saturday and has recovered from an illness that kept him out of practice on Thursday and Friday. He worked out Sunday morning and was deemed good to go. It's a huge boost for the Raiders offense as they attempt to win their first game of the young season. There's a chance that Jacobs won't see as big of a workload as he has the first two weeks -- he played 72 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2 -- but at worse he should be viewed as an RB3/flex against the Titans now that he'll be active.
Sep 25, 2022 • 3:06 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Will Work Out Pregame
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) will work out pregame prior to Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Jacobs traveled with the team despite missing time with an illness this week. It sounds like there's a decent chance that Jacobs does get on the field for Sunday's contest. The Raiders would be forced to use a committee approach with Zamir White, Brandon Bolden, and Ameer Abdullah, assuming Jacobs is out. This appears to be a true game time decision for Jacobs.
Sep 25, 2022 • 1:29 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs To Travel To Tennessee
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) will travel to Tennessee but is still questionable to play in a Week 3 matchup with the Titans. Jacobs did not practice on Thursday or Friday and did not travel with the team but is making the trip separately. Although this is definitely a good sign for fantasy managers, backup plans should be made in case Jacobs is ruled out ahead of this contest's 1 PM ET kickoff. If Jacobs is sidelined, expect backfield duties to be split amongst rookie Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah, and Brandon Bolden, with White being the most intriguing fantasy option as a low-end flex play.
Sep 24, 2022 • 10:11 PM | RotoBallerJosh Jacobs Questionable, Not Traveling With Team
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness), who is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, did not travel with the team on Friday. Jacobs missed practice the last two days with an illness and is now firmly in doubt for Sunday's game against Tennessee. Fantasy managers that have the 24-year-old in their starting lineups need to have a backup plan in place. The good news is we'll know early on Sunday whether Jacobs will be active. If he ends up playing, Jacobs will be in play as an RB2 for fantasy managers. But if he's ruled out, expect some combination of Brandon Bolden (hamstring), Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White to share backfield duties against the Titans. Bolden was inactive last week but is off the Week 3 injury report.
