The Raiders will be forced to use Josh Jacobs
The Indianapolis Colts have one of the most underrated group of defensive backs in the NFL, and the Raiders receiving group is one of the weakest in the league. I believe the Raiders will be forced to open up their offense after last week, but you never know with the Raiders.
Derek Carr had a great game against the Colts last season, but the Raiders may have to take their offense in a different direction against the Colts this season. It has been made clear this week that the team needs to use Josh Jacobs more, whether it is in the rushing game or the passing game, and this is the team to do it against.
The Colts give up 114 rushing yards per game, and if the Colts are without Darius Leonard, that number will go up. Josh Jacobs is currently averaging 5.1 yards per carry, but he has not received nearly enough touches since Week 1. This will change this week.
Josh Jacobs will have his biggest week of the season so far against the Colts, as he will receive over 20 touches for the first time in three weeks. The Raiders will also look to use Jacobs more in the passing game, and the Colts will not have an answer for it.
