Josh Jacobs 2020 Outlook
As NFL.com noted, Jacobs flashed his potential as a rookie, posting four top-10 performances. He did rank outside of the top 20 seven times, but Jacobs should become more consistent this season -- especially if the Raiders find a way to improve on his 20 catches for a mere 166 yards. The good news? Per ESPN.com, GM Mike Mayock recently spoke of "Phase 2", emphasizing that he expects the star back to be more heavily-involved in the passing game. Remember, HC Jon Gruden often raved about how complete a player Jacobs is, saying, "He's the perfect centerpiece for our offense." Nearly half of Jacobs' receptions (nine) came in his last five games, so he was becoming a bigger part of the Raiders' passing game, but missing three of the last four with a shoulder injury sapped any momentum. Also worth noting here: Despite playing just 13 games and receiving the 13th-most carries, Jacobs led the league in broken tackles while carrying the ball. Remember, Jacobs saw at least seven defenders in the box for over 53 percent of his carries last year. Assuming he remains healthy, the role alone will keep Jacobs in RB1 territory and there’s room for even more if the Raiders find ways to utilize him as a receiver.
Josh Jacobs 2019 Outlook
As Fantasy Pros' Mike Tagliere put it, "For running backs, it's all about volume, and knowing Jacobs was taken in the first round, he's going to get plenty of it. ..." Indeed, the Raiders want Jacobs to be a bell-cow back, the kind who will regularly have 20+ touches per game. The talent is there. But is there a proven track record? NBC Sports' Peter King notes that Jacobs brings a truly bizarre college résumé into his NFL career. He played 40 games at Alabama. He ran for 100 yards against Kentucky in his fourth college outing, and then, over his final 36 games, never again ran for 100 yards. His highest 10 totals as a collegian, in rushing yards gained: 100, 98, 97, 97, 89, 83, 68, 57, 52 and 51. In only one of 40 college games, including receptions, did Jacobs touch the ball 20 times. So, if he does turn out to be capable of handling a true feature role, it'll be the first time he’s done it since his high school days in Oklahoma. King summed up: "In three years at Alabama, Jacobs was part of Nick Saban's running back-by-committee system. This is going to be a very interesting test for Jacobs starting in September." Is it worth the price of admission to get a piece of Jacobs? Sure. But understand what you're getting.
