Read Josh Jacobs's fantasy football outlook for Week 5 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Jacobs returned to action against the Chargers last week, rushing 13 times for 40 yards while catching each of his five targets for 17 yards. Kenyan Drake only played 35% of the snaps, so this is encouraging usage for Jacobs. You love to see those five targets. If we start seeing Jacobs utilized more in the passing game like that, he can emerge as an upside RB2. The Bears rank 10th in fantasy points per game to running backs, but the Raiders are 5.5-point favorites, so it could be a positive game script for Jacobs, making him a lukewarm option
