Josh Jacobs is an American running back who plays for the Las Vegas Raiders, a franchise that competes in the NFL. Jacobs has been a member of the Las Vegas Raiders even before they were residents in Las Vegas and were still known as the Oakland Raiders. He was drafted by the Raiders in 2019, picked as the 24th overall pick in the draft.
Since entering the league, Jacobs has been one of the better running backs in the NFL, regularly crossing the 850 rushing yards threshold and posting as an occasional receiving threat. Jacobs is part of a stacked Las Vegas Raiders offense, and he is balling out this season despite the Raiders' poor form.
Jacobs was added to the injury report after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. As a result, he is officially listed as questionable to play versus the Seahawks. As such, fantasy football owners with Jacobs on their sides (99.2 percent of all fantasy players) should keep tabs on Jacobs as his Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is only a few hours away.
