Josh Jacobs (ankle) questionable for Week 9

Jacobs missed practice Wednesday and Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury. He is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacobs suffered the injury in the Raiders' Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He finished the game with 10 carries for 43 yards and one touchdown.

Fantasy impact

Jacobs is a key part of the Raiders' offense and his absence would be a big blow. If he is unable to play, Kenyan Drake and Brandon Bolden would be in line for more touches. Drake has 16 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown this season, while Bolden has 10 carries for 46 yards. The Jaguars have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, so this would be a good matchup for Drake or Bolden if Jacobs is out. However, it is important to note that Jacobs is questionable and there is a chance that he could play. Fantasy owners should monitor his status closely and have a backup plan in place.
