This is probably worse in fantasy land than if they simply found him a new home. It certainly raised some eyebrows when veteran Jacobs got some run in the Hall of Fame Game last week, a contest typically reserved for backups and players fighting for a spot on the roster, not RB1s. The Raiders already had Kenyan Drake in Jacobs' RB room before the team added Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, and fourth-round pick Zamir White. Jacobs is getting squeezed in every direction, but most discouraging, in the receiving game, where he doubled his career reception total in 2021 en route to his RB16 finish.

Rookie running back Zamir White has impressed after missing the first two days of camp with an undisclosed injury.

“He’s tough, has good contact balance, and you can see the growth in a new system,” running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu said.

Jacobs finished RB16 last season with the 19th-highest per game production. He was RB9/RB13 the previous year. He was 13th in touches per game in 2021, so the workload was there despite so-so efficiency. He’s the RB22 off the board in early drafts, which makes some sense given the arrival of new HC Josh McDaniels, who ran an offense in New England that regularly featured multiple backs in various roles.

As a result, he is out for the season. Drake was the team’s second-leading rusher. Richard and Barber will get work behind Jacobs going forward. Both are a Jacobs injury away from more significant playing time and those in deeper leagues may want to take a chance.

Josh Jacobs returned to the practice field on Thursday and now has a very good chance to play this Sunday. If he can get in a full practice by tomorrow, he could be ready for his normal complement of snaps. However, a limited tag on Friday could suggest that Jacobs will see a reduced workload in Week 4. The Raiders backfield may be a bit of a mess against the Chargers but have a plus matchup overall. Jacobs is currently our 32nd ranked running back for Week 4.

Las Vegas’ next matchup will be on Monday Night Football in Week 4 against the Chargers, and they may have Josh Jacobs available for it.

“I met with Josh this morning,” head coach Jon Gruden said in his Monday press conference. “We’re going to see how he feels on the practice field this week. I’m not making any predictions, but we’re hopeful that we can get him back on the grass at some point this week.”

The 2019 first-round pick hasn’t practiced since Week 1, missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Jacobs was apparently closer to playing in Week 3 than he was in Week 2, as he was listed as doubtful instead of out for the matchup with Miami, the story said. Barber racked up over 100 yards on the ground in Week 3.
