Factoid: Josh Jacobs

I've seen some debate regarding the Packers' signing of Josh Jacobs. Some think they should have just stuck with Aaron Jones, who finished strong (and was a fan-favorite). Others think Jacobs, who averaged just 3.5 yards per carry last year, is washed-up from all the touches over the years, even at just 26 years old.   more »

Factoid: Changing of the guard

These initial days of free agency serve as a reminder that change can come quickly at running back. With injuries being common, players wearing out faster and teams reluctant to get caught in bad contracts, there’s more shuffling at this position.  more »

Factoid: Barkley versus Jacobs

Free agency is coming up, and the popular belief is that Saquon Barkley is the marquee running back available. I'm not going to argue it too strongly, but I think a case can be made that the team that winds up with Josh Jacobs will come out ahead.   more »

The starting flag is about to drop on free agency, and I will be interested to see how much the running backs go for. There are some intriguing names available, and each team has an extra $31 million to work with, with the cap rising to over $255 million.  more »

Barkley, Ekeler, Henry, Jacobs, Pollard to become free agents

Last offseason, the running back market devalued as some marquee names failed to secure contract extensions or were offered the franchise tag. Jonathan Taylor was the only notable running back who succeeded after agreeing to a three-year, $42 million contract extension.

There are a bunch of notable running backs headed for free agency, including Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, Saquon Barkley and Austin Ekeler. But I don’t know that there will be a lot of big contracts handed out.   more »

Factoid: Dead cat bounce

The Raiders fired their coach on Tuesday night and are plugging in a rookie picked in the fourth round at quarterback. And they’re still favored. That’s how bad the Giants are this year. But to me, I like the look of the line.   more »

Guillotine Leagues : Week 8 FAAB report

A lot of crazy games and upsets in Week 7 of the NFL. The Ravens swooped in and beat the Lions, the Patriots picked on a struggling Bills team, and the Tyson Bagent led Bears team mauled the Raiders. We also had some craziness with the Atlanta Falcons not reporting Bijan Robinson’s illness, as they’re required to do. That event led to him being on the most chopped player list along with some other big names. I’m here to help you make the best waiver wire bid on the most chopped players going into Week 8.  more »

Josh Jacobs and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Las Vegas Raiders running back JOSH JACOBS, last year’s rushing leader, had a historically bad game on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. At one point in the game, Jacobs had rushedMore six times for MINUS six yards. You read that right, negative six yards. He had crossed the line of scrimmage just once. By the end of the game, Jacobs had nine carries for a total of minus 2 yards rushing. No rushing title holder in the modern era has had a game this bad. No NFL running back had done so poorly in the past 15 years, and no Raiders running back in nearly 60 years. Less

Raiders RB Jacobs says “no hard feelings”

Las Vegas Raiders running back JOSH JACOBS said on Wednesday that there are “no hard feelings” between him and the organization after a contract dispute kept him away from the teamMore throughout training camp and the preseason. Jacobs added that there is “a clean slate” after agreeing to an adjusted one-year deal worth up to $12 million and reporting to the team. While Jacobs wouldn’t comment about his workload in the season opener on September 10th against the Denver Broncos, he did say that he hasn’t missed a step physically.

Raiders have no plans to trade holdout RB Jacobs

Despite speculation to the contrary, the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly have no interest in trading disgruntled star running back JOSH JACOBS. Also in contrast to previous reports about Jacobs reporting toMore the team before Week #1, no deal is believed to be imminent and Jacobs’ status for the season opener is still very much up in the air. Second-year reserve ZAMIR WHITE has been handling the Raiders RB1 duties in Jacobs’ absence. At this point, Jacobs could find himself splitting carries with White in the season opener even if he does return to the team in the days ahead. Stay tuned, fantasy owners. Less

Raiders RB Jacobs expected to report before Week #1

Las Vegas Raiders running back JOSH JACOBS is reportedly expected to report to the team before the season opener against the Denver Broncos on September 10th. Jacobs has still not signedMore his franchise tender, but he is apparently likely to do so sooner than later. There has not been much movement on the contract front between the Raiders and Jacobs throughout the offseason. At this point, Jacobs and the Raiders can come to an agreement on a renegotiated one-year deal – as the New York Giants did with SAQUON BARKLEY – or he can sign the one-year franchise tender on the table for $10.1 million dollars. Stay tuned, fantasy owners. Less
