Rolls through Broncos in Week 10 Jacobs registered 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, adding four catches for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-12 win against Denver.
Impact Jacobs torched the Broncos for 5.3 yards per carry with assistance from five runs of nine yards or more, notching his third multi-TD outing of 2020 in the process. The 2019 No. 24 overall draft choice has garnered 15 or more offensive touches in every game but one this season, as Las Vegas prepares for a rematch with Kansas City in Week 11. The first time these two teams met this season, Jacobs compiled 85 scrimmage yards and two TDs against the Chiefs' 28th-ranked rush defense.

Finds end zone Sunday Jacobs carried the ball 14 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.
Impact After getting a season-high 31 totes last week in Cleveland, Jacobs saw a much smaller workload this time around -- perhaps due to the knee injury that limited him in practice during the week -- and ceded eight carries to Devontae Booker, but he was still able to score his sixth TD of the year on a 14-yard run in the second quarter. Jacobs should see something more like his typical volume of touches in Week 10 against a stingy Broncos run defense.

No catch: Raiders outlast Chargers after replay review
The Las Vegas Raiders were the beneficiaries of another heartbreaking finish for the Los Angeles ChargersNOVEMBER 9, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Active for Sunday's game Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact Jacobs is coming off a Week 8 effort in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the Raiders' 16-6 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. With Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium, weather won't factor into the game plan; nevertheless, barring any in-game setbacks, Jacobs still seems destined to remain fairly busy versus the Chargers, given that he's averaging 21 carries per game to date.

NOVEMBER 8, 2020 • FANDUEL.COM
Likely to play Week 9 Jacobs (knee/illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact After failing to practice Thursday, Jacobs returned to the field Friday in a limited capacity. Though he didn't finish the week as a full participant, the Raiders are apparently optimistic that Jacobs will be ready to handle his usual role as the team's lead back. Confirmation on Jacobs' status won't come until the Raiders release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. kickoff, but fantasy managers can tentatively plan on having him in their lineups.

Listed as questionable Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Chargers after returning to a limited practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jacobs was held out of practice Thursday, but his return to the field Friday, albeit in a limited fashion, bodes well for his status for Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff. The Raiders' top back is coming off a week in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the team's Week 8 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. Assuming he's active versus the Chargers, weather won't impact Jacobs' Week 9 usage, with Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium.

Back at practice Jacobs (knee/illness) returned to practice Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jacobs was withheld from Thursday's session, but he looks poised to log at least limited activity in the Raiders' final Week 9 practice. The extent of Jacobs' involvement in practice will be revealed later Friday, at which time it will also be known whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Jacobs is coming off his biggest workload of the season, carrying 31 times for 129 yards in the Raiders' Week 8 win over the Browns after windy conditions prompted head coach John Gruden to largely eschew the passing game.
