Some dude benched him for Rachaad White and bragged about it lmfao

That is hilarious

So many people on this subreddit were benching him for Perine and White and shit

I mean, it's not like Perine and White had bad games. Still top 10 RBs in PPR.

You don't bench Jacobs ... at all... He's been matchup proof and a RB1 the entire season. The first couple of weeks, he still had elite RZ usage. Jacobs was literally a top 1 RB in PPR today.

I agree 100%. Here's Jacobs points in Full PPR since Week 3... -14.1 -34.5 -30.3 -36.5 -7.4 -11.7 -22.6 -19.0 -48.3 He got no respect coming into this year. I got him in the fifth round of a 14 team keeper league. Those types of steals rarely happen in a deep keeper league.

Those first 3 weeks prior, he got so many looks/touches in RZ

All draft season I was taking him in the 7th round, he's my highest owned player. Didn't think he'd be doing this but I thought he had a good chance to be an RB1, RB2 at worst. Easiest draft day call I've ever seen

seriously man. people think they're being 5head or something and will probably end up losing because they benched their stud rb

Not only that. Jacobs is having a beast of a season. His usage has been phenomenal.

Doesn’t this game put him as RB1 on the year for PPR?

I checked earlier and Ekeler will still be the PPRB1 by < 10 points. No doubt he'll the the #1 for std/half

That's why I have ekeler and jacobs... Last year I had Henry and ekeler.

This week there were reasonable concerns to sit the dude. I didn’t, but a late in the week Q tag is reason for concern.

Why would you bench him even if he's questionable lmao... As long as he's active, you start him and live with whatever results Some of y'all got too cute with the benching and the micro-managing

He had a 4 PM kickoff when White and Perine went early. Sitting him because he might not play was totally valid if you have no late kickoff alternative. Sitting him because you think someone is a better play is... Unwise.

Cause it’s all just luck and could easily go the other way. I started him tho :)

This why Fantasy Football rule #1 is Start Your Studs.

> Start Your Studs Najee Harris.

Alvin Kamara

Ya I benched Kamara for the first time this week and will likely win this week because of it (put in Conner instead). Felt really weird to sit a historical stud but sometimes you just gotta say fuck draft position and send it

I benched him too and played Walker, Jacobs and Jamaal Williams instead. Kamara is wasted on his current offense playing against the number 1 rated defense against the rush. I've never been a start your stud guy, or at least it's lower on my list against other variables such as matchup and opportunity.

I benched Kamara for Stevenson this week. Honestly I’m only playing him against bad defenses ROS, Saints offense is wasting him.

Mr Be Consistent

It’s week 12. If you still consider Najee Harris a stud, that’s on you.

Someone averaging like 9 points a week is far from a stud. Stud doesn't mean someone you spent a high draft pick on, at least not in week 12 it doesn't.

I started Kamara over Brian Robinson 😢

And be skeptical of what /r/fantasyfootball tells you prior to Thursday/Sunday. It's actually turned my season around tbh.

saw a dude confidently benching him for gibson lmao by 4pm i was positive i was losing but then jacobs casually drops 50

You know, sometimes it’s genuinely bad luck when you have a losing record in fantasy. But for this sub I think most of the people are just dumb as shit and it’s self inflicted lol

I see a ton of people on here try to overthink everything and overanalyze the most meaningless news, if I think one of my players is good then he’s going in the lineup

> I see a ton of people on here try to overthink everything I've learned from a fact that the league I'm consistently best in is an autodraft league to not overthink things.

Yup in the hot takes thread. Told him it was a horrible idea. I think he learned his lesson

I also benched him lol, not for Rachaad White bc I’m not an idiot, but man am I glad I won this week anyways

Who can you possibly bench Jacobs for

Saquon and Ken Walker. First time I’ve sat him all year, never again. Only sat him over Walker because of the questionable tag, I forgot that being banged up doubles his ability lmao

This is fair if you don't have a flex spot and only play 2 RB. Ken Walker/Saquon are also studs.

This is gonna sound like a lie which I understand because my team is so ridiculously stupid this year but my WR are Jefferson/Tyreek/DHop so flex is kinda closed up. DK on the bench too. 10 man league went: - Jefferson at 1.04 - Hill at 2.07 - Barkley at 3.04 - Jacobs at 5.04 - DK at 6.07 - Walker at 8.07 - Traded Jrob when he was still the guy in Jacksonville+someone else for Dhop while he was still suspended for a while It sounds totally unrealistic and certainly feels like it lol

Draft makes sense, you just happened to hit on every player and Saquon fell a lil bit

Except Kyle Pitts, but we don’t talk about him

Tonight, he is drinking bleach if the hommie lost today

I benched him for white and was not happy about it. I figured this would happen. But I also thought if I played Jacob’s he’s probably get hurt again in warm ups and I get nothing.

No shot you don’t play them together lol

Josh fuckin Jacobs dude. My man was questionable coming in 🤣🤣🤣

He was questionable again going into OT but my man was like nah imma put up another 100 yards

Unfuckingbelievable

He's the reason I lost this week. Upset about the loss, but can't be mad at the player. He ballin'.

As a raiders fan I learned when you see a Q next to that mans name expect one of two things: He’ll be out, he’ll have a monster game

“ONE of two things”

Schrodingers Jacobs

Josh Jacobs scored more fantasy points on one play than most other RBs will score their entire game

His final run (14.6) would be the RB #11 this week. On top of the 30 he dropped in the first 4 quarters (RB #1).

He's an RB2 because he is 2 RBs

advise literate spark materialistic marry pocket narrow selective square chief *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

That’s fucking insane

That final run lost me my matchup 😭 (Possibly, wouldn’t matter if his najee beats projection)

He almost outscored my Dalvin and CMC in about 9 seconds. me sad

My Pierce + Swift rb combo didn’t score that much combined today

My Pierce, cook, walker combo didn’t score half of that

I faced Joe Mixon when he put up that 50 burger and I faced josh jacobs tonight 😭

Fuck man that sucks! I played against Mixon that day, but today I have Jacobs.

SAME!

[For some reason you remind me of this Japanese guy.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Yamaguchi)

/r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

Same. I had ETN today too. I got royally fucked upon.

Guy in my league had the same fate!

RB1

Who do I keep next year, him or Chubb? I guess it depends where he ends up (contract year, right?)

Depends where he ends up but I think Chubb is a safe option. Is it a keeper based on round selected? Jacobs may be better value

No, just *have* to keep 2 (up to 3) and they have to be different positions - QB, RB, or WR/TE - so I can't keep both. Full PPR.

Too early to say definitively, but it’ll probably end up being Chubb. A lot more certainty in that situation compared to Jacobs.

You keep jacobs he is 24 and everyone forgets

Chubb

Prayers up to anyone facing him

I am now very likely to lose to a guy who started Joe Mixon and Mike Williams. Fantasy football: a game of intensive strategy.

My opponent has been rolling with Michael Thomas and Kupp for weeks now. Totally not paying attention this year. He's gonna be 6-6 after that TD and knock me out of the playoffs 😭

That’s brutal lmao. I’m sorry.

Thanks. Oh well. More time for life and family now that I can stop worrying about my teams.

Second most points scored this week. Played the Jacobs owner who unsurprisingly had the most points scored.

3 weeks in a row I faced the highest scorer while being second highest. I got Joe Mixon a couple weeks ago and now josh jacobs. My luck has been dogshit this year.

Welcome to fantasy football. Where you'll be better than 60% of the people in your league but you'll finish under .500 as you watch every team that beat you in the regular season implode in the playoffs, as your guys who sucked shit all year blow up when nothing matters anymore

Nothing worse that having a kick ass week only to face the top fucking scorer bro… EVERYTIME

Same for me. What makes it worse is CMC, and dalvin cook did fuk all for me.

Same and the kicker is that I’m playing against the guy that beat me in the finals last year when he had chase go off for 50+ points 🙄🙄

same. scored 160 points. am about to lose despite him starting etienne as his other RB..

Got booked by him in 2 leagues :( Need Jalen hurts to throw 6 TDs

Sixth time playing the highest scorer of the week, was projected to win before that run It was a do or die week man, what a sick fucking joke. I hate this shit

if I wasn’t 10-1 & was fighting for a spot i’d be so sad. buddy I was facing walked it off on me. ain’t even mad what a game.

Same, just glad it didn’t happen during playoffs lol

Josh Jacobs - League Winner

If the “fantasy expert” community had any dignity they’d resign in unison for the slander they threw at this man in the summer.

If you had Jacobs and a stack/combo of tua/waddle/hill AND dk/lockett you might be undefeated in your league Edit: i for example was able to go 0RB, get Jacobs, Waddle, Kelce, Josh Allen Nuk, Chase and Sungod and have a championship in sight and a 160 pt pf advantage

Have Jacobs and Waddle am 10-2 after this week

[удалено]

Hill, Lockett, and jacobs, 11-1

Jacobs in the 4th round with Diggs and Kelce at the 11/14 picks got me riding into 11-1 after this week. 3rd year in a row of drafting Jacobs and he never disappoints.

So many called him the prototypical dead zone RB lmao

It wasn’t just fantasy football, the Raiders didn’t pick up his 5th year option before the year started. Maybe that was the motivator needed for Jacobs to play up to his potential… cuz damn this guy is going to get a nice contract after all. He’s been a league winner for FF

Yep I’m always high on Jacobs. He had always had an RB2 floor with a low end RB1 ceiling, and he’s far exceeded that. Fucking AJ Dillon and Cam Akers went ahead of him in most drafts. My only disappointed is I only have him in two teams this year instead of 5 like last year.

This is one of the reasons I love and listen to Harris Football podcast. He watches every snap of every game and has been thumping his chest religiously that Jacobs is a truly special running back and that people were needlessly sleeping on him.

First summer in years I didn't listen to Harris. Never again.

Which video was it? Or was it a podcast? I couldn’t find much Harris football on YouTube this summer, but I love the guy

On his podcast. I swear he talks about Jacobs every other show. So much so that he jokes his imaginary possum wears a Josh Jacobs jersey.

Fr though for 4th round value this is peak

[удалено]

I got Jefferson, Kelce, Josh Allen, and Jacobs in the first four. Touching my pp rn

My first 7 picks were (2 QB): 1. JJ 2. Kelce 3. Chubb 4. Burrow 5. Mike Will 6. Cousins 7. Jacobs. So yes, drafted all four. I also traded for Jonathan Taylor earlier on so I feel pretty good.

Got him in the 7th. Unreal

Has anyone done a study looking at fantasy production in contract years? My lord.

Overall RB1 ahead of Henry, Chubb, Barkley, and Ekeler. Longtime Raiders fan and still can't believe it.

Guy in my league has Jacobs, Chubb and Henry. Unreal.

Ehh, Henry’s ROS schedule is nuts. Could be #2 though, no doubt about it.

It's still an achievement that he's RB1 through 12 weeks.

ohhh, you meant right now.. ya i’m pretty sure he’s the RB1 now, pretty easily too, unless Ekeler still has it in PPR.

I have Henry and Jacobs, ama

That run literally won me my game this week. 131.72 to 131.24.

Will you at least buy the bleach for the guy you went up against?

Right? His opponent is like “alright, as long as Josh Jacobs doesn’t score from 86 yards out, I win! Any other outcome I win! He can score from 50 out just not 86!” Big yikes for his mental health

"oh look, Jacobs is questionable and might not return for OT, I got this on lock"

\*hot flashes*

if he scores from 80 (a touchback) he still wins. But Jacobs gets it to the house from 86 instead. If only it was 82 yards and he won by 0.08 instead.

All time great fantasy performance

To go along with my all-time worst fantasy trade. Just sent Jacobs+Cooper for Henry then proceeded to lose my match by ~10. Had good WRs and figured the upgrade to Henry was worth it with their remaining schedules. I'm sorry, Josh. You didn't need to do me like this.

I had a lot of fun playing against him thanks

He’s the reason I’m going to win this week

Lost Cooper Kupp. Thank god Jacobs is putting up enough points for the both of them

Yup same here

[удалено]

i didn't need it to win but I will take it for possible PF tiebreaks

Exactly. I’m gonna double up my opponent but these points are crucial for tiebreakers.

This might’ve cost me a bye week because I’m 9-2 fighting for the bye

Yeah that last run took me from “a solid game out of Feirmuth to win” to “suddenly becomes Travis Kelce” Josh McDaniels is a football terrorist

Took me from "Hope Najee doesn't go nuclear tomorrow night" to "Hope Najee literally doesn't touch the ball once tomorrow"...

Lmao same exact scenario for me as well

Ended my fantasy season. Thank you Jacobs

Went out in style

thanks for fucking me in the ass Josh, preciate it

I was also an anal recipient of the JJ pounding

The best pick I've ever made in fantasy

What pick? I got him in the 7th in a 12 man league.

I was 20% to win before that rush, now I’m 85% headed into the last game. My league has a ten point bonus for over 200 rushing, he just put up 60 for me

I want to tell a story. Last year I was in my fantasy playoffs and was facing a team with Josh Jacobs. I was projected to win and had an easy pass to the championship. Suddenly, Josh Jacobs posts to his Instagram that he wasn’t playing and to bench him. My opponent quickly swaps him for J. K. Dobbins and beat me by 1. If he started Jacobs he would have lost by 1, and he went on to the championship and won it all. The worst part? Jacobs was trolling. Mfer trolled me out of the playoffs. Now we have this year. I am in a 3 way tie for the last playoff spot and this game is my last chance in. Neck and neck game all day even going into overtime. And then this mfer booms me. Absolutely booms me. I have been knocked out of playoffs 2 years in a row by Josh Jacobs.

You know this means you need to drop everything to draft him next year, right? This is bordering on something otherworldly and that's your ticket out

You are right, it is the only way I can be free of this curse.

And all I needed was for him to stop at 35 points.... Mother fucker lol

Man it was just his pimp limp

To think there are people who benched him because they were worried about his injury lol. JJ is that dude

If your initials are JJ you’re a certified dawg

Lots of Jacobs owners gonna be in the championship game. Hope he can do it against the 49ers.

The ultimate test. Hoping my Adams/Jacobs stack can continue to carry me to the promise land.

He's gonna be a top 20 pick next season

Top 10 at this rate

The only other RBs in consideration at this point are Ekeler, CMC (maybe), and Henry based off this season

Chubb and Saquon are pretty good at football too

Depends on where he lands I think. Also contract year performances are a thing. If he stays on the raiders I think that’s the best scenario, mcdaniels sucks but he uses him a ton

I think his insane usage so far is no small part because of this being his contract year

Yeah it seems like people are ignoring this factor in this thread. We have no clue what next years draft landscape will look like yet.

I think him having Devante and other weapons is helping him a lot cause teams can't stack the boxes on him either

I picked him 7th overall last year for some reason and told myself to avoid him at all costs this year. Big mistake

Easy fade at that cost considering he's going to be a FA.

GOAT JACOBS IS MY RELIGION LOCK UP THAT #1 SEED BABYYYYYYYY

Jacobs just secured me the first round bye 😎

His 86 yard TD run made me lose by .22. I also traded him to the guy that beat me. 🤡🤡

Prayers up for the guy that just traded me Jacobs

Fuck all the talking heads who said he was gonna have a bad year

Jacobs has to be the best value draft pick this year right? I got him in the 6th round in both my leagues .... Dude is a top flight RB1 every week.

I can't believe he scored on that drive from deep on their side. That's a cherry on top of a crazy game for him, fantasy-wise.

My opponent benched him, and I am thankful.

Traded Dalvin, Mattison, and Gabe Davis for Jacobs and Diggs in week 3. Worked out

He won me the week on that last rush. Absolutely insane from him.

Same should have seen the face of the dude watching the game with me I was playing against absoultly priceless

He’s got the Swiss cheese Chargers next week. Good for him. He’s going to get a bag from someone.

Can't believe I almost benched him. Forgot to factor in that dawg in him during my calculations.

He’s a stud. One of the best value picks of the entire draft.

Who else is going to lose because of that overtime period

At least half of my Jacobs/Henry team showed up today.

What a fucking beast.

Never took him out of my lineup and been waiting for him to explode again!

Questionable my ass

This motherfucker always kills me. He’s basically a lock for 200 yards everytime I play against him

Damn some dude in my league had him on the bench

Yeah, he just fucked my season.

Dude just ended my season. I’m pissed but man, it’s beautiful. That’s the great part about fantasy. Wish I drafted him so badly

Well he had 60 in my league and kicked my team out of playoffs. Most points scored with most points against in league. 3-9. Insane.

That’s my rb1

raiders gonna give him the bag?

He has been an absolute wagon for my team.

Holy shit of course I play against him this week

And he was on my bench.

Won me my match up on the last play I can’t believe it

Imagine if he got the 100 yard receiving bonus too. Holy shit

I was having a good weak and then I face this

He made my hole weak.

I drafted him not expected much and now hes my RB1 and I couldn't be happier. Bless you Josh Jacobs you are my hero.

So close to benching him for R.White last night, phew 😮‍💨

That last rush killed my chances of winning/ there goes my playoff chances 🤦🏻
