Read Josh Jacobs's fantasy football outlook for Week 6 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Jacobs has been pretty mediocre to start the season, and that may be putting it lightly. In the three games he has been active, he has not surpassed 50 rushing yards, nor has he been particularly efficient. The only appealing factor of his game has been his usage near the goal line, as he has scored three touchdowns so far. He faces a tough matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos, who have given up the sixth-fewest rushing yards (85.4 per game) and the fourth-fewest yards per carry (3.7) The Broncos don't give up many chunk plays either, as they have given up just one 20+ yard run all season, so it is unlikely Jacobs breaks off a long run to skew his numbers in this game.
The Raiders offense as a whole is likely in for a rough game in the Mile High City, so the third-year back is an easy fade in this one. Sure, there is always the possibility he can find the end zone and make up for lackluster rushing numbers, but at some point, something has to give when it comes to his touchdown pace. The Broncos have only given up three rushing touchdowns this season, so this could be the game where he doesn't find the end zone and completely lays an egg for fantasy managers. Jacobs is by no means a must-start this week and is a FLEX option at best.
