Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 Week 11 fantasy football Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em

Start ‘Em

Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs has been one of the more disappointing players on the offense this year. Not only has he been unreliable when it comes to his health availability, but the Raiders offensive line has done him no justice in helping out establish the run game and get him into a rhythm we’ve seen so very often for him.

In Week 9 against the Giants, however, he looked as if he was finally healthy again and you could tell his cuts were crisp and he was back to his old form, lowering his shoulder and trying to run over everyone in his way.

He hasn’t had that breakout game yet like we’re so used to seeing from him, posting a season-best game of 76 yards in the Giants game mentioned above. With the Raiders so badly needing to get a rhythm within the running game and control the clock on the ground, I believe Jacobs is poised to finally have that type of game this week.

The Bengals have the 6th worst defense in fantasy points allowed to running backs and 7th worst in red zone points allowed. This will be the perfect week for not only Jacobs to get back to his former fantasy reliability, but the Raiders to right their red-zone woes via the ground game.
