Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 Week 15 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em

Start ‘Em: Josh Jacobs

The third-year running back has been disappointing thus far, and has not produced one 100-yard rushing game this season. There can be a lot said for the coaching, and offensive line circumstances — nevertheless, whatever the excuse may be, the back has been virtually non-existent in terms of producing for this Raiders team.

Last season, Jacobs torched the Browns in Cleveland for over 100 yards, and was the driving force in an ugly victory. With frigid conditions in this contest, the narrative may be the same. The passing game will likely be held to a minimum due to the conditions. So expect the back to get a large number of carries in this one.

With backup running back Kenyan Drake out for the season due to a broken ankle, the carries and pressure is all on Jacobs now. Due to his large volume going forward, he must be started going forward, and definitely in this tilt.

I know we called him having a big game last week, but in this one the story should be entirely different.
