Raiders Beat: RB Josh Jacobs should easily double his receptions

Aug 24, 2020

Josh Jacobs said he would like to have 60 receptions this season. He should easily double last year’s 20, but some fantasy experts and national writers got a little stressed out when the Raiders signed veteran Theo Riddick over the weekend.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story points out, Riddick is a nice pass-catching back who once caught 80 balls for the Lions, but was on the couch before the Raiders signed him. The story feels Riddick is there for depth only. Jacobs' reception potential is a big question for potential owners in PPR leagues this season.

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.

The Lions ruled out TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) for Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville.

Related Players: Brock Wright, Shane Zylstra

Fantasy Impact:

LaPorta's mediocre sophomore season could have gotten a great boost here against a soft Jaguars defense, but no luck. Brock Wright is an interesting "close your eyes and click" option for very deep leagues.
