| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Showed RB1 upside leading one of most well-oiled run games in the NFL, but also piled up injuries (knee, finger, concussion) - are you glass half full or half empty? | RB17 and RB8, respectively, in first 2 seasons, and no reason to think he won't be Top 20 RB again with Raiders' offensive upgrades |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/2: Oddly, 49ers spent limited draft capital adding LSU's Tyrion Davis-Price as the 5th RB off board. Shouldn't be a HUGE concern... but still worth considering | 6/14: Rumbings Jacobs is not viewed as a "feature" guy, & he himself says he doesn't want to be. Patriots Hell invades this backfield and the already unsexy Jacobs gets less apealing 5/15 - They scoop a bunch of RBs (Bolden, Zamir White) & don't pick up 5th year.Could ride him into ground, or could groom his successor |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | The Raiders offense looks to reach new heights in 2022 with No. 1 wide receiver Davante Adams added to the fold. And that greatly benefits the team's lead ball-carrier Josh Jacobs. A more efficient offense lends itself to more scoring opportunities, and Jacobs will reap the most rewards as the team's primary red-zone back. Last year's RB13 smashed career highs in all receiving categories in 2021 despite playing alongside Kenyan Drake and Jalen Richard. Injuries to the back-ups boosted Jacobs' role as a receiver slightly, but it was not the only cause. There was a deliberate effort to feature Jacobs more as a receiver with him catching at least two passes in 12 of his 15 games played. And more importantly, the receiving capability that Jacobs displayed puts to rest the narrative that he is "game-script" dependent. Whether the Raiders are winning or losing in a loaded 2022 AFC West, JJ has proven he can be used in all facets. Now the Raiders did elect to sign both Brandon Bolden and Ameer Abdullah this offseason to bolster their running back stable behind Jacobs. Bolden has been a special teams guy nearly his entire career, so I doubt he carves out any legitimate role on offense. Abdullah has been used as a third-down back on the several teams he has been on at the NFL level, but I am not ready to declare him as a huge threat to Jacobs' workload. Sure he might work in some, but not enough to hurt Jacobs' bottom-line value. The team also drafted Zamir White in the fourth round, but I would not expect much from White in year one based on Josh McDaniels' track record from New England of not featuring Day 3 rookie RBs. The new head coach is more likely to run Jacobs into the ground on an expiring contract as he did with Dion Lewis, LeGarrette Blount and Shane Vereen during his Patriots tenure. And besides, the red-zone role is the most significant for fantasy points, and that looks to be clearly in Jacobs' grasp. Two-down back Damien Harris was in the red-zone role for the Patriots last season and flourished because of it. He ranked fourth in carries (46) and third in rushing TDs (13) from inside the 20-yard line. | |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Elijah Mitchell ran away with the job last season en route to finishing as the RB14 in fantasy points per game. He was third in opportunity share, but his underlying rushing metrics were a lackluster ball of meh. He was 36th in juke rate, 30th in breakaway run rate, and 34th in yards created per touch. With his 7.0% target share and 25th ranking in route participation, he doesn't have the pass game usage to save him if the rushing volume and efficiency aren't there. It's still possible that the 49ers roll it back in 2022 with him as the primary rusher, though, as long as he doesn't face plant in camp. | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Mitchell had 1,015 yards from scrimmage and 6 touchdowns in just 10 fantasy games. Durability and a crowded backfield are concerns, but Mitchell appears to be the lead back on one of the best rushing offenses in the NFL and he should be a solid RB2 with upside if he can stay healthy in 2022. | Jacobs has been a good fantasy back, but he has not been able to post an elite season. He finished the 2021 fantasy season with 1,076 yards from scrimmage and 8 touchdowns. Josh McDaniels calling plays could help him realize his full potential, but he is still more of a RB2 than RB1. |
