| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | There may not be a player who's experienced as dramatic of a fall in value as Jacobs over the course of this off-season. After seeing his entire offensive line dismantled, Jacobs watched the Raiders front office bring in another RB to this backfield on a pricy deal via free agency. With Drake in this backfield now, all hope for Jacobs' increased involvement as a receiver came crashing down. While Jacobs should remain heavily involved as a runner, the path for upside is now capped with the state of the offense around him. He's going to have to score 10+ rushing touchdowns to crack the top-12 at the position and that's not a bet I'm willing to make with this team. As a low-end RB2, he's a fine option for your lineup, but it's hard to hold out hope that he can be anything more than that. | Gaskin took advantage of his opportunity nicely last season and was a solid fantasy option when he was fully healthy. Amassing 47 targets in 10 games, Gaskin showed off his receiving ability and didn't look too shabby as a runner as well. While this could be a rotation at RB in Miami this upcoming season, Gaskin appears to have the lead role locked down and he should be the first option we look at in fantasy drafts. He's a high-upside selection as a RB2 this draft season. |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | The free agent signing of Kenyan Drake this offseason was a perplexing move by the same Raiders team that invested a 1st round pick in Josh Jacobs. Jacobs should still get the bulk of the carries, but this is hardly good news. And if that's not bad enough, the Raiders lost some key linemen in the offseason. The silver (and black) lining is that you can get Jacobs cheaper in 2021. | I'm not sure why so many analysts have Gaskin ranked so high. He's undersized at only 194 lbs. I doubt he'd hold up with a full workload. He's best used in a RBBC. The Dolphins signed Malcolm Brown in free agency. Brown is 25 pounds heavier than Gaskin and should see the goal line work. If that happens, which I think it will, Gaskin is a bust at his current consensus ranking (23rd ranked RB). For that price, I want my guys scoring TDs instead of getting pulled at the goal line. Avoid |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | I remember last year when Jacobs was going as a late first-round pick, though I wanted nothing to do with him at that price due to his lack of involvement in the passing game the previous season. Nothing changed except they added more pass catchers. He did get a slight bump in targets (45), though nothing you could rely upon every week. What's changed this offseason? The Raiders decided to pay Kenyan Drake a good chunk of money to come in and share the workload with Jacobs, forcing his fantasy stock to plummet. Drake was essentially the same running back as Jacobs last year, though we've seen him produce in the passing game before. Did the addition of Drake drop Jacobs' price too far, or is this a backfield to simply avoid if possible? I believe he's fallen enough to consider a value as a low-end RB2 who should see be in line for 250-plus touches. The expectations were out of control last year, but if you can get him in the fifth round this year, I'm buying. | It was shocking to see the Dolphins pass on running back after running back, especially considering all the picks they had in this year's draft. This is great news for Gaskin, who racked up 183 touches in just 10 games last year. Crazy, right? His 18.3 touches per game ranked ninth among running backs. Opportunity is everything, and if he gets that type of opportunity again in 2021 while playing in all the games, he's going to finish as a top-15 running back. The only difference is that the Dolphins added Malcolm Brown in free agency, which could lead to him siphoning some targets away from Gaskin, which would be less than ideal. As of now, Gaskin should probably be considered a solid RB2, though landing him as your RB3/flex would be even better based on the small sample size we have from him in a big role. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Kenyan Drake is likely to play the K. Hunt role to Jacobs' Chubb, but this will still be a sizable lead role for Jacobs | Finished RB9 in FPPG (min. 10 games), and MIA only raised the roof of the offense with the moves made in the offseason |
| Kevin Wheeler The Draft Zone | Jacobs is the most game-script dependent RB in fantasy: In wins - 21.1 fantasy points per game In losses - 10.3 FPG 17 of his 19 career TDs have come in wins. Raiders win total is 7.5. @GrahamBarfield | Finished top 10 in half-PPR FP/game (through Week 16) but was a top-12 back in just a third of games played. In the other six games, his average finish was RB26. He averaged 20 touches per game over his final 8 games, averaged 97 scrimmage yards per game in his 10 games last year, and the Dolphins only added Malcolm Brown (less than 70 carries in 5/6 seasons) and Gerrid Doaks (7th round rookie). |
| Brendan Tuma FantasyPros | A seventh-round selection from 2019, Gaskin finished the 2020 campaign as a top-eight PPR back on a per-game basis. A midseason MCL injury as well as a late-year COVID scare limited him to just 10 games, but Gaskin was a legitimate workhorse when active. He'll out perform his draft day cost if Miami continues using him the same way, but Gaskin is a late-summer RB signing away from a drastic decrease in fantasy value. I prefer not to invest in players who could suffer such a fate. 2019 Damien Williams comes to mind. | |
| Dan Harris FantasyPros | There were certainly positives from Jacobs' 2020 season, including that he scored 12 touchdowns and carried the ball 273 times, each third-most in the NFL among running backs. But ask any fantasy manager who rostered him and he or she will tell you that it never felt comfortable, even if Jacobs did finish as an RB1 in fantasy. Preseason chatter of a massive increased role in the passing game was pure fluff (he received just 45 targets on the year), and there was, of course, his Instagram hoax about not playing in Week 14. Now, he'll share running back work with Kenyan Drake, and the best-case scenario is that Jacobs handles the rushing down work while Drake comes on for passing downs, as Jon Gruden has suggested. That should leave Jacobs as a weak RB2 in half-PPR formats, one who needs consistent work around the goal-line to have significant value. | |
| Tim Petropoulos BRoto Fantasy | The Good: If you pressed fast forward on the 2020 season and just looked at end of year stats, you might be extremely happy with the output you got from Jacobs. The second year back ended the season as an RB1 in PPR formats (10th), saw 8.2% of his teams targets, and improved across virtually every pass-catching category from his rookie season. He also got the work where it counts most in fantasy with 68 red zone opportunities, the most in the NFL. Jacobs turned those touches into 12 TDs, 4th most in the NFL. Outside of those numbers, however, I would be reaching to give you any more good news about Jacobs. The Bad: There is no way to put this mildly, Jacobs had one of the most wildly inefficient seasons in football last season. He basically pulled a Mixon™. Jacobs' TDs were his saving grace but, as the saying goes, TDs are the hardest factor to predict year-to-year in fantasy football. Removing the TDs from the equation really reveals how bad he was. Jacobs' .448 points per opportunity excluding TDs (PPOxTD) was good for a mind-blowingly awful 101st in the NFL. Meanwhile, while he produced -1.6 fantasy points over expected (FPTS oX), ranking him amongst the scrubs of the NFL at 114th. Furthermore, his 3.6 yards per carry was 82nd in the NFL and his four big plays (20 yards or more) was tied for 36th in the NFL with his teammate Devontae Booker, who broke off the same amount of big plays in about 1/3rd of the opportunities. In fact, in the 296 times Josh Jacobs touched the ball last season, he recorded exactly ZERO plays of over 30 yards. The most telling stat of all though my be his Rushing Yards over expected. Looking at his RYOE chart (exclusive to the Fantasy Football by BRoto app), after the fist several touches, Josh Jacobs never reached a point during the season where he had more yards than expected, dropping more than 100 yards below expected at multiple junctures in 2020. | |
| Joe Pisapia FantasyPros | The Dolphins did not draft an RB, and although Salvon Ahmed is still around, Gaskin looks to be the the man at the top of the Miami depth chart at RB. Gaskin looked sharp last year, bouncing runs to the outside and showing explosiveness. He actually caught 41 balls in just 10 games, so although goal line work may elude him, he'll make up for it in PPR with his receptions. He's a nice PPR Flex RB in a perfect world. | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Jacobs had 214.8 fantasy points, but it took 306 touches and 12 TDS for him to reach that total. He is a RB1 based on usage, not efficiency and it remains to be seen if the Raiders try to lighten the workload for him in 2021 with the addition of Kenyan Drake. | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | Even more uninspiring w/ Kenyan Drake added for a decent price. Lowers already small receiving upside. | |
