Josh Jacobs Misses Thursday's Practice With An Illness
3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) didn't practice Thursday due to an illness. The 23-year-old kept popping up on the injury report and missed two games earlier in the season with an ankle injury. It's unknown at this time if the illness is related to COVID-19, but it's a situation fantasy managers should continue to monitor. The Raiders' RB logged 70% of the team's snaps (46-of-66) in last Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears. He had 15 carries for 48 yards with the team's only touchdown in Week 5. Jacobs is a borderline RB2 against the Denver Broncos this Sunday, who are 13th in rush DVOA. Peyton Barber and Kenyan Drake would see an uptick in usage if Jacobs is ruled for Sunday's game. Stay tuned.
