3 Las Vegas Raiders listed in PFF’s Top-150 fantasy players

Josh Jacobs – 25th overall

Josh Jacobs is the first Raiders player on this list and comes in 25th overall on the rankings. This would be quite the jump for Jacobs as he was the 50th overall scorer in 2019, albeit in just 13 games. He was however the 14th ranked running back and could have been top 10 had he played the full season.

In order to reach this higher level as a fantasy player, Jacobs will likely have to show more in the passing game as he had just 20 receptions in 2019. This was likely a product of Jon Gruden trusting a veteran back like Jalen Richard more in obvious passing situations. The addition of Lynn Bowden may limit Jacobs receiving touches even further but he should benefit from the additional weapons opening things up in the running game.

Even with all of the additional weapons on the team, Jacobs is still the crown jewel in the Raiders offensive weaponry and can be a gamechanger for Gruden and his fantasy owners. He often rises to the occasion and had his best game in 2019 against the Bears’ eighth-ranked rush defense. Expect big things from this young budding superstar.
