Raiders' Josh Jacobs rushes for 3 touchdowns in Week 1 victory over Panthers
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs recorded 25 carries for 93 rushing yards, 4 receptions for 46 receiving yards, and 3 rushing touchdowns in a 34-30 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1.
Jacobs picked up right where he left off before his shoulder injury last season, torching the Panthers on the ground for 93 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. The big question coming into the game was how involved Jacobs would be in the passing game, and the answer, so far, appears to be very. Jacobs hauled in 4 receptions for 46 receiving yards, operating as a true feature back to start his sophomore season. Next up for Jacobs and the Raiders is a Week 2 clash with the New Orleans Saints.
Jacobs scored 33.9 FanDuel points in Week 1, the most of any running back on the early slate of games, and 17.7 more than his Week 1 projection of 16.2 FanDuel points. Our models project him to score 13.1 FanDuel points against the Saints in Week 2.
