FANTASY FOOTBALL ROOKIES TO TARGET IN 2019

NUMBER 1 – JOSHUA JACOBS, RUNNING BACK (RAIDERS)

Joshua Jacobs is arguably the only one on this list that is going to be a surefire starter come week one. The Raiders didn’t draft him with the 24th overall pick to have him sit behind Doug Martin plus he’s easily the best option they have to start on that roster.

Jacobs had 11 touchdowns last year at Alabama while splitting carries with Damien Harris, so just imagine what he’ll be able to do being the main back. Oakland could certainly use the production and will turn to Jacobs as much as possible.

You should target Jacobs in the early rounds of your draft, but definitely make sure you pick up a few other fringe starters at running back in case Jacobs ends up disappointing in his starting role.

Out of all of the fantasy football rookies, Joshua Jacobs is the only one who is nearly a sure bet to get you some solid production.
