The running back position doesn’t have a ton of fantasy superstars available on the free agent market, but there are a couple of players who could really hit it big. That list includes Josh Jacobs. He’s coming off a career campaign, finishing with a league-best 1,653 rushing yards, 2,053 scrimmage yards and 12 total touchdowns. That was good enough for him to finish with a personal best 328.3 fantasy points and the No. 3 back in PPR formats.
The best fantasy scenario is that Jacobs remains with the Raiders, whether it’s via a new contract or on the franchise tag. But where else would he retain the most fantasy value if he doesn’t remain in Las Vegas? This doesn’t have anything to do with salary caps, money, etc., but it’s more about his overall fantasy appeal.
