Welcome to the latest edition of the Fantasy Football Flashback, where we celebrate the accomplishments of the week's most reliable players. Week 7 stood out on the schedule as the period that would be most impacted by bye weeks, and as expected, there were plenty of fantasy teams that struggled to field a dynamic lineup. But the players listed below stepped up when needed most and topped the scoring leaderboard.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 23: Josh Jacobs #28 of the Las Vegas Raiders carries the ball in for a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans at Allegiant Stadium on October 23, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Welcome to the latest edition of the Fantasy Football Flashback, where we celebrate the accomplishments of the week's most reliable players.
Jacobs is the hottest running back in the NFL, having rushed for at least 140 yards in each of his past three games. And he had a nose for the end zone on Sunday, crossing the goal line three times, which brings his overall TD total to six in as many games. Jacobs is locked into one of the heaviest workloads of any rusher, and those who gambled on drafting him when his stock was down in August are holding a top-5 fantasy RB for the remainder of the campaign.
