Josh Jacobs Has A Chance To Play In Week 17
5 years agoOakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) has a chance to play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Broncos. Jacobs left his fantasy owners out to dry in the finals in Week 16, but he could return for those that are still playing for something against Denver. The 21-year-old has been impressive with 242 carries, 1,150 rushing yards (4.8 yards per tote) and seven touchdowns. Deandre Washington has had RB2 upside when Jacobs has been inactive, but he'd go back to a bench role if Jacobs returns this weekend. The rookie had 23 carries for 85 yards and his first two NFL touchdowns in the season opener against the Broncos. He'd be a low-end RB1 if he returns in Week 17.
