Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs (shoulder/illness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs was doubtful heading into the season finale and now has been officially ruled out. He will finish his rookie campaign with 242 carries for 1,150 yards to go along with 20 catches for 166 receiving yards and seven total touchdowns. Jacobs should be fully recovered from his shoulder injury during the off-season. With Jacobs ruled out, look for Dwayne Washington and Jalen Richard to lead the Raiders backfield Week 17.

Josh Jacobs is not expected to play in Week 17's must-win match-up against the Denver Broncos Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs underwent a surgery on Wednesday to clear up a skin infection he had which was said to not have a negative impact on his status for Week 17. Unfortunately, it seems like something has changed between then and now. Even if he does find a way to put on the pads for Sunday, he will probably not be as effective as he usually has been this year. DeAndre Washington is expected to see a larger increase in reps for this week.

Josh Jacobs (shoulder) was able to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.

Fantasy Impact

Coach Jon Gruden says there is a chance Jacobs suits up in Week 17. Oakland is technically still alive in the playoff race but would need a lot to go their way for it to happen.

The Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has a "chance" to play Week 17 against the Broncos, according to head coach Jon Gruden.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs has missed a few games to end the season due to his shoulder injury. Given the team has nothing to play for, it doesn't make a ton of sense to play the rookie, who has already shown that he is very capable of leading a rushing attack, but the Raiders could still have Jacobs suit up for the finale. He'd be a risky play given his injury and the uncertainty around his playing time entering the game.

Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is officially listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs's lingering shoulder injury will keep him sidelined for the second time in the past three weeks. With the Raiders' playoff chances all but dashed, they will likely play it safe with the rookie running back. DeAndre Washington will start in Jacobs's place Sunday.
