RB1: Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders ($7,700)

Things weren’t looking good for Josh Jacobs this offseason. The new Raiders regime took over, and his fifth-year option was declined. He didn’t respond with a lackluster, effortless season. Instead, this has motivated his play and he currently ranks third in the NFL in rushing yards.

Jacobs has been a fantasy stud as well, ranking as the overall RB4 in PPR leagues. He’s been a great value pick for drafters and is an excellent weekly start. This week, against Seattle’s 28th-ranked run defense, Jacobs is set up for another big day, making him a solid anchor of this lineup.

RB2: Jeff Wilson Jr., Miami Dolphins ($5,900)

Since joining the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, he’s been the RB13 in PPR leagues, as he’s seemingly taken over lead back duties from Raheem Mostert or, at the very least, forced the backfield into a 50-50 committee. He’s provided a competent balance to Miami’s high-powered passing attack.

This week, Wilson has arguably the best matchup out of any starting running back, as he faces the Houston Texans’ league-worst run defense. They allow the most fantasy points per game to running backs, leaving Wilson with top-15 upside this week and an excellent high-floor play.
