Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Under new head coach, Josh McDaniels, Josh Jacobs had the best season of his career. It probably didn't hurt that his name was Josh haha! Jacobs finished first in the RB rankings. His current ADP is at RB 6. That seems very risky for someone who is coming off a career year. Jacobs has always had talent, but he's been nicked up in the past. In addition, the Raiders' offensive line is shaky at best. And if anything happens to Jimmy Garoppolo, this offense goes bust. But, what am I saying? You guys are Fantasy Pros (shameless plug). The best. I'm sure you guys have already figured out a way for Jacobs to be worth an ADP of RB 6 even with some of my concerns. Of course, lest we forget, Jimmy hasn't exactly been the picture of perfect health throughout his career and if something happens to him you're stuck with Brian Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell running the offense in the middle of the freakin' desert!!! Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except for bad fantasy calls. That stuff will come home with you. Ringo has left the building. Bust | Many analysts have Travis Etienne going pretty high this year. I'm not one of them though. The Jaguars had a great year in 2022. Doug Pederson completely turned the franchise around. They should be even better this year, especially on offense. I just don't know if Etienne's stats will be. Doug Pederson has never been a bell cow RB kind of guy. he believes in a RBBC so his RBs don't wear down. His time in Philadelphia showed that. The Jaguars also drafted Tank Bigsby in the third round. They want to reduce Etienne's workload. Bigsby is a tough inside runner. He'll probably assume the short-yardage role. I mean the guy's name is Tank for Pete's sake. When you have a guy named Tank, you have to use him in short yardage haha!! In addition, Etienne only had 35 receptions last year. Etienne's current ADP is RB 12. That's way too pricey for Mark Ringo considering the very real possibility Bigsby could vulture TDs at the goal line, even for a talented player like Etienne. Bust |
Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | From breaking fantasy in 2022 to being ranked as my RB-10, what happened? Honestly, Las Vegas happened. I feel like the community is overlooking the dumpster fire that this organization is. Although it was bad last year and Jacobs was great, it's hard to see him having another career year on a Jimmy Garropolo-led offense. This team will be playing from behind frequently, and although we saw Jacobs' pass-catching prowess, in 2021 Garropolo's pass-catching RB had fewer than 40 targets. | Etienne has seemingly flown under the radar this offseason. Despite the only threat being third-round bruiser Tank Bigsby. Every year you hear about a new player stepping into the "Alvin Kamara role", but few have the juice to succeed. Etienne is one of those players who can thrive on efficient touches and electric big-play ability. Although he will still lead the backfield, I don't think he needs 20+ touches a week to find himself as an RB-one this season. |
Brandon Funston The Athletic | We preach volume is king, and Jacobs wore the crown in 2022 with 404 touches - LV likely to lean on him heavily again in what might be his walk year | Finished RB17 in half-PPR as he was underserved in TDs (5) and receptions (35) - JAC not likely to increase his 2022 touch total (255) |
Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | Officially franchised - ideal for his Fantasy Value to remain in LV. Another workhorse year coming in LV for last year's RB3 | 5/5: Tank Bigsby could prove to be an early-down & Red Zone nuisance (10 TDs in back to back years), but this certainly wasn't the most deterimental move possible for Travis Etienne. He'll maintain 60-65% of work in an ascending attack that continued to beef up the line. 3/17: Unscathed so far. Love to see it. |
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Josh Jacobs was arguably the most valuable fantasy asset during the fantasy football regular season based on his finish as the RB2 overall in relation to his super cheap draft-day ADP. The market was convinced that Jacobs would become part of a dreaded RB-by-committee under new head coach Josh McDaniels, but that was hardly the case. He was a full-blown bellcow for the Raiders leading the NFL in touches through 17 weeks. The 24-year-old is returning to Las Vegas on the franchise tag after leading the NFL with 1,653 rushing yards. With a similar cast of characters returning as depth behind him, it's hard to envision the Raiders not heavily leaning on him again as a true featured back. | From Weeks 7-17 - removing the game versus Baltimore when Travis Etienne left with an injury - the Jaguars running back averaged 15 fantasy points per game (RB8 in points per game) and was the standing RB10 in total half-points scored. ETN would proceed to finish the 2022 fantasy regular season tied for 5th in carries inside the 10-yard line (23), but he only scored four touchdowns on those carries. He's primed to see his TD numbers climb with the backfield all but his from the get-go in 2023 in ascending offense. Etienne also just scratched the surface of how he can contribute in the passing game. The receiving "role" has been his in terms of routes run most weeks in 2022, but targets did not always follow with Trevor Lawrence preferring Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Evan Engram - who all stayed healthy in 2022. If one of those guys goes down in 2023 we will probably see ETN see a boosted receiving role. The second-year rusher averaged a 22% target rate per route in 3 of his last four games played. No. 2 running back/pass-catcher JaMycal Hasty, former Cleveland Brown D'Ernest Johnson and 2023 third-rounder Tank Bigsby are behind him on the current depth chart. |
Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Jacobs received a franchise tag, after posting 1,608 yards rushing, 395 yards receiving, and 12 TDs in the fantasy season. He should be a great RB1 option, Jacobs has not indicated that he plans to holdout at this point. | Etienne missed his entire rookie season, but bounced back in 2022 with 1,108 yards rushing, 299 yards receiving, and 8 TDs in the fantasy season. Jacksonville should be an offense on the rise in 2023 and Etienne should be a fantasy RB1 as their starting running back. |
