Josh Jacobs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

X-rays on Raiders RB Josh Jacobs' pinkie came back clean during Thursday night's loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That was the assumption considering Jacobs was allowed to re-enter the game. He's still scheduled for additional testing on the finger, though, so he's not quite out of the woods yet. We'll update Jacobs' status when we know more. Rookie RB Zamir White would likely take over as Vegas' lead ball carrier if Jacobs misses time, with RB Ameer Abdullah playing in passing situations.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs hurt his right hand in the 2nd half of Thursday night's game against the Rams. He's officially questionable to return.

Update: Jacobs did return in the 3rd quarter.

7:16pm EST 12/8/22

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf, quad) is active for tonight's game vs. the Rams. He never seemed to be in danger of missing this one and should be ready for his usual workload.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero confirms that Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) is expected to play vs. the Rams tonight. He was limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable. Jacobs, of course, has been playing through this calf issue the past 2 weeks -- and racked up 453 total yards and 3 TDs. He's a must-start tonight.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Rams. The quad issue is new, but we've heard nothing to suggest that Jacobs is in any danger of missing this one. We'll get Vegas' inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.

For the 2nd straight week, Raiders RB Josh Jacobs cast aside a "questionable" tag and delivered a big game. Despite reporter warnings that the team would need to manage Jacobs' calf injury, he racked up 144 yards and a TD on 26 carries in Sunday's win over the Chargers. Jacobs is working on a streak of 3 straight 100+ yard games and hasn't logged fewer than 21 carries since Week 9. He added 2 catches for 6 yards Sunday. RBs Zamir White and Amber Abdullah combined for just 3 touches against the Chargers. Week 14 brings a matchup with a Rams defense that expects to miss Aaron Donald for the 2nd straight game. The short turnaround could challenge Jacobs' calf ... though it looks like a calf-questionable Jacobs might be the best version of him.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He played through this injury last week – and ripped off 303 total yards – so it’s not a major concern.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) will play vs. the Chargers later today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. So Jacobs evidently didn't need to pass a pregame test to get the green light. Considering he went for 303 total yards playing through this calf injury last week, we're not too worried about it today.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) will work out pre-game before a final decision is made on his status for today's game vs. the Chargers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jacobs was in the same boat last week before ripping the Seahawks for 303 total yards. He got in 3 limited practices this week. "There is optimism that he can play, but no one will know for sure until the workout," Rapoport says. We're expecting Jacobs to play but won't get Vegas' inactives until 3 pm ET. Fantasy owners should have a late-game replacement rostered just in case Jacobs ends up sitting.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chargers. He hurt his calf last Friday, smoked the Seahawks for 303 total yards on Sunday and then got in 3 limited practices this week. We’re fully expecting Jacobs to play on Sunday, but we’ll look for further updates on his status.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We're expecting him to play through this injury vs. the Chargers on Sunday, like he did last weekend when he dismantled the Seahawks.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero set off alarms with a Tuesday tweet that suggested Jacobs might not play vs. the Chargers this weekend. But getting in a limited practice on Wednesday -- after dominating with this injury this past Sunday -- suggests that Jacobs will be available. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is not expected to practice much, if at all, this week with his calf strain, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "He’ll get around-the-clock treatment in hopes of playing Sunday against the Chargers," Pelissero adds. It's a surprising report after Jacobs blew up for 303 total yards and 2 TDs vs. the Seahawks last week -- after hurting that calf on Friday. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week. If Jacobs can't go on Sunday, Vegas would likely deploy a committee with RBs Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs entered Sunday questionable with a calf issue that arose in Friday's practice. He finished the day with a 33-229-2 rushing line and 6-74 receiving in a 40-34 win over the Seahawks. Jacobs finished off an already strong outing with an 86-yard TD dash in OT. Jacobs set season highs in both rushing yards and receiving yards and topped 20 carries for the 3rd straight game. He's a weekly must start the rest of the way.

2:39pm EST 11/27/22

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was added to the injury report and limited in Friday’s practice with a calf. He evidently looked and felt good enough in pregame warmups, though, and we haven’t heard anything about him being limited today.

ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) "likely" to play against the Seahawks today, barring a pregame setback. Jacobs was added to the injury report on Friday and listed as questionable, which certainly adds risk to his Week 12 fantasy profile. But he'd be tough to bench if he ends up active. Raiders-Seahawks doesn't kick off until 4:05 pm ET, so Jacobs owners would be wise to have a late-game alternative lined up just in case Jacobs ends up missing this one.
