Fantasy Football Player Notes

In past editions of the Primer, we've noted that Jacobs has gotten more work in the passing game this year. He's just four catches and 41 receiving yards away from establishing new single-season highs in those two categories. Jacobs has had at least 19 receiving yards in seven straight games. No, he hasn't morphed into Austin Ekeler, but Jacobs is no longer completely one-dimensional. In addition to his two catches for 25 receiving yards against Dallas on Thanksgiving, Jacobs also had a season-high 22 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown. Jacobs checks in at RB16 against the Football Team this week. He's a solid if unspectacular DraftKings value at $6,000.

Renfrow's sturdy weekly floor has been his greatest attribute in fantasy this season. But now, with Henry Ruggs no longer with the team and Darren Waller banged up, Renfrow's ceiling has been raised, too. He had 8-134-0 against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, establishing season highs in receptions and yardage. Renfrow is a midrange WR3 this week against Washington, and I'm eagerly buying him at $5,800 on DraftKings.

Darren Waller missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury and is considered doubtful for this weekend. Moreau now becomes an attractive streaming option at TE, considering that the Raiders don't have an abundance of pass-catching options. He's an especially compelling option on DraftKings, where he's priced at only $2,700.

We know Jackson is a volatile fantasy asset, but at least he's demonstrating that he's still an asset. Jackson had 3-102-1 on four targets against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, highlighted by a 56-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Jackson's route participation was up to 56%. He's still a risky WR5, but he's usable in large leagues or leagues that have a lot of flex spots. At only $4,200 on DraftKings, Jackson is an intriguing GPP option because of his splash-play potential.

Over his last two games, Edwards has one catch for 12 yards. Zay Jones out-targeted Edwards 7-1 in the Raiders' Thanksgiving Day win over the Cowboys. Edwards is droppable.
