Josh Jacobs vs Packers run defense

Josh Jacobs has played at a high level lately, especially in his last game against the Bears. Josh Jacobs has been dominating opposing defenses, rushing for 430 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per carry.

Although Jacobs is only a rookie, he is immerging as one of the best backs in the league, and with a week off to relax his body, Jacobs could have the biggest game of his season against the Packers. Green Bay allows 124.5 rushing yards a game this season, and the Raiders will take advantage of this.

With the injury of Tyrell Williams and Zay Jones being new to the offense, the Raiders should focus on a run-heavy offense, whether it is a handoff up the middle to Josh Jacobs or an end-around to Trevor Davis.
