Josh Jacobs A Solid RB2 Play In Week 1
2 years agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs will look to get off to a hot start in 2022 with an opening matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Although Jacobs figures to see some competition for touches in this backfield, it appears clear he will begin the season as the team's lead back. The Chargers allowed the 4th most fantasy points to running backs last season while allowing 19 rushing touchdowns to the position. This bodes well with how Jacobs will look to return his value in 2022. It is safe to expect the touchdowns to come in an improved offense with a trustworthy offensive Head Coach in Josh McDaniels. Start Jacobs as a mid-range RB2 in a matchup with one of the higher point total lines of Week 1.
