The rookie has been a bright spot for Oakland and already rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns to start the season.
The Raiders took Jacobs with the 24th pick in the 2019 draft out of Alabama.
He had 1,491 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns in three years with the Crimson Tide with the low numbers due to a very deep backfield.
The Raiders expect big things from the first-year rusher but he may be a candidate for a down week in fantasy if he really has lost that much weight in the past few days.
The Raiders play the Vikings at 1 p.m. in Minnesota on Sunday.
