running back Josh Jacobs might be the hottest player in the NFL right now. Over the last four weeks, he leads all running backs with 440 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, and he’s only played in three games during that timeframe!
Jacobs’ emergence has propelled the Raiders to win two out of their last three contests and is a big reason why they’re heading to New Orleans as slight favorites this Sunday, according to our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Containing the Raiders’ rusher will certainly be a point of emphasis for the Saints’ defense, so I made sure to ask Tina Howell of Canal St.
