Josh Jacobs three rushing touchdowns

In his inaugural season in the NFL, Josh jacobs has solidified himself as the favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year, as well as one of the premier running backs in the league. Jacobs has been the fulcrum of the Raiders’ offense, maximizing every opportunity behind an offensive line that has been stellar.

Sunday’s matchup against the Bengals is a dream scenario.

The Raiders are ranked eighth in the NFL in rushing, meanwhile, Cincinnati is ranked dead last in rushing yards allowed to date. The Bengals are last in rushing yards allowed per attempt, rushing yards allowed per game, and second-to-last in rushing touchdowns allowed. It’s not rocket science to fire up Jacobs as your RB1 in fantasy leagues for Sunday.

Josh Jacobs has yet to notch three rushing touchdowns in a game this season, emphasis on “yet.” On Sunday, against the Bengals defense that seemingly can’t stop anyone in the ground game, Jacobs will get a triple rushing touchdown performance.
