Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Jon Gruden intimated that star running back Josh Jacobs still has some hurdles to clear before being given the go ahead to return this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Oakland did not practice on Wednesday, and instead held a walk through, so all eyes will be on Thursday and Friday's practice for further clarity on his potential status for this weekend. If Jacobs cannot return to a full practice by the end of the week, he may end up as a game time decision. The late window start can prove problematic for fantasy owners, so be sure to have a backup option at the ready. Jacobs will be an RB1 with a great matchup if he can get cleared.
