Buffalo Bills a favorable matchup for Raiders star Josh Jacobs
Full week of practice
Last week, Jacobs missed a lot of the practice heading into the matchup with the New England Patriots, and there were times when it looked like he actually may miss the game. Well, he played, but it was obvious that the team was being cautious with him, as he played a season-low 59 percent of the snaps according to Pro Football Reference.
This week, Jacobs was a full participant all three days leading into the final injury report on Friday, and that is a great sign for his workload on Sunday. My expectation is that he will have a similar workload to the one he had in Week 1, when he was in on almost 80 percent of the snaps, carried 25 times and had four catches.
Teams are also struggling to take Jacobs down for the second straight season, and I can see him running all over this Bills defense. Week 4 is a solid matchup for Jacobs, who is healthy, ready to go, and should easily eclipse the 100-yard mark on Sunday against a weak Bills defensive line.
