Josh Jacobs Week 14 Outlook - Commanders at Packers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2019, 1:18pm EST

We talked about the win/loss splits with Jacobs last week and they continued in Week 13. For whatever reason, he is not used in the passing-game in games they fall behind. There was one play where Jacobs went out into the flat and was essentially doing jumping jacks to try and get Carr's attention, as he was uncovered. The Raiders are underdogs in this game, but it's a winnable one, so we shouldn't automatically assume the win/loss splits apply. The Titans had been a really good run defense under Mike Vrabel, though they've slipped a bit since Week 8. Over their last four games, they've allowed 414 yards on 96 carries (4.31 yards per carry) with five rushing touchdowns. Running backs have been targeted quite a bit against the Titans, as the 8.3 targets per game ranks as the second-most. There have been just seven running backs who've finished better than the RB24 against the Titans, which is not great odds, but it's possible that Jacobs is catching them at the right time. You're not considering sitting Jacobs, who's seen at least 17 touches in eight of the last nine games, so plug him in as a solid RB2 who has RB1 upside if he's used in the passing game.
