Josh Jacobs Has Unenviable Matchup Coming Off Bye Week
4 years agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is likely fresh after having his week off, but that won’t change the fact that he’ll be squaring off with the NFL’s premier run-stuffing unit Sunday in the form of the Buccaneers Defense. Tampa Bay has yielded an average of just 64.3 rushing yards per contest to begin the year, while Jacobs has amassed an average of 75.4 all by himself. Having carried the ball an average of 21.2 times per game, season-long fantasy managers needn't shy away from Jacobs, but those eyeing him on the DFS market may want to tread lightly. Despite his five rushing scores, Jacobs has yet to compile a 100-yard game on the ground this season after having racked up five such performances as a rookie in 2019.
