Is Josh Jacobs Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Josh Jacobs - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has really turned it on in recent weeks. Before Week 14, Jacobs had over 95 rush yards in three of the past four games. During that span, the All-Pro back had two top-five running back finishes.

Unfortunately, though, Jacobs couldn't replicate that success in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Raiders running back left the game with a knee issue and didn't return to the contest. 

Is Jacobs injured or healthy? Will he play in Week 15? Let's dive in.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for the 2025 playoffs:

 

Josh Jacobs Latest Injury Update

Josh Jacobs (quad) will not play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. With Jacobs out, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah are expected to split touches. Both backs are now risky flex or RB3 options.

 

Josh Jacobs Injury Update for Fantasy Football

Jacobs injured his knee in the team's 3-0 loss to the Vikings on Sunday afternoon and limped to the locker room before failing to return. When the running back walked off the field with his injury, he appeared to be in agonizing pain as he made his way to the bench. 

With the Raiders playing on Thursday against the Los Angeles Chargers, it would be hard to imagine Jacobs suiting up and playing at 100% in that contest. In Monday's estimated walkthrough practice for Las Vegas, the running back was listed as a non-participant due to a quad issue. 

It's important to note that Jacobs left Sunday's game with a knee issue. But on Monday's injury report, the Raiders are calling it a quad issue. Either way, the running back appears to be nursing an injury ahead of Week 15 and will need to ramp up his practice status over the next two days to play on Thursday. 

Josh Jacobs Fantasy Football Outlook

Jacobs is having another solid fantasy season and currently ranks as the RB11. He hasn't been as dominant as last season (when he was the rushing champion). However, he's still been a consistent RB1 with five top-12 running back finishes over the past 10 games. 

If Jacobs can go on Thursday, he will be less than 100% and likely limited in the contest. But he's still a player you should probably start in fantasy.

If he can't go, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White will see more opportunities and touches out of the backfield. Neither did much after Jacobs left on Sunday. But Abdullah should fill in more on passing downs, and White should be the primary rusher in Week 15.
