What Will Josh Jacobs' Impact Be In Week 5?
3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs looks to get his season back on track as his team hosts the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The 25-year-old totaled 40 yards on 13 carries against the Chargers in Week 4, his first game since being sidelined in Week 1 with an ankle injury. Jacobs will probably get more opportunities this week with Peyton Barber questionable to play and Kenyan Drake being used as more of a short-pass specialist. That being said, the Bears defense has done well against the ground game, so Derek Carr will likely give more work to the receiving corps than his RBs. Not to mention that Jacobs was limited in practices this week to take some stress off of his rehabbing ankle. Jacobs' production should go up week over week if he continues to get healthier but is more of a low RB2 in Week 5.
