NFL Power Rankings: 10. Las Vegas Raiders

2022 rushing yards rank: 17th
2022 yards per carry rank: 6th

Josh Jacobs led the NFL with 1,653 rushing yards. The first-team All-Pro accounted for 80.3 percent of the Raiders’ rushing yards and all 12 of their rushing touchdowns.

Jacobs finished in the top five in many advanced metrics: first in yards after contact (821), second in broken tackles (31), and third in yards after contact per carry (2.4).

Behind Jacobs, the Raiders offer little depth. Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah combined for 90 rushing yards last season. Nevertheless, the Jacobs one-man show has proved to be a success. As long as he is on the field, the Raiders should boast a top-10 rushing attack.
