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.
