BALLER MOVE: Start in 8+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is a top fantasy play at the position in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins after three strong games in a row.
Last week, Jacobs had 27 carries in the team's 16-12 win over the New York Jets. He finished with 116 rushing yards and also caught two passes for 11 yards. The previous week, he had 98 rushing yards and found the end zone twice.
Jacobs has had 20 or more carries four times already this season, including in the team's past two games. He's also had 80 or more yards from scrimmage in seven of the past eight games.
This is all just to say that Josh Jacobs is having a really good season. He's leading the NFL in rushing attempts and while he's down a good bit from last season's 97.2 rushing yards per game, he's still at 62.2 yards per game on the ground and another 25.3 per game through the air.
This week, Jacobs gets to face the Dolphins. Miami allows the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, which is really the only knock I have against Jacobs. It's not a great matchup. Still, Jacobs appears to be matchup proof based on his volume.
