After Week 6 was kind to the Las Vegas Raiders, pulling off a 20-10 win over the Tennessee Titans, let’s check in on a few old friends: Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams and Darren Waller.
Josh Jacobs
Game result: 27-18, Packers win
Stats: 18 carries, 93 yards, 2 TDs, 5 catches, 57 receiving yards
To put it simply, Jacobs went off on Sunday. Not only was he Green Bay’s leading rusher and averaged 5.2 yards per carry, but he was also the team’s second-leading receiver. Since ending his touchdown streak two games ago, the 2019
first-round pick has found the endzone four times. That’s helped pull the Packers back into first place in the NFC North after the Kansas City Chiefs took down the Detroit Lions on Sunday night.
Davante Adams
Game result: 17-3, Rams win
Stats: 4 catches, 39 yards
Adams was pretty quiet as the Rams’ offense didn’t have to do much in this game, though he did accomplish a career milestone with his 982nd career catch, passing Randy Moss for 18th all-time. The Baltimore Ravens were down several key players, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, and backup Cooper Rush was eventually benched after throwing for just 72 yards and an interception. Baltimore also lost two fumbles, helping Los Angeles take home the victory. However, Adams could be elevated into the WR1 role moving forward after Puka Nacua left Sunday’s game early with an injury.
Darren Waller
Game result: 27-29, Dolphins lose
Stats: 2 catches, 12 yards, 1 TD
To be honest, Waller didn’t do much in this game, but he does have a nice little touchdown streak going. The tight end has only been active for three games but has managed to find the end zone in each contest and is up to four on the year now. The former Pro Bowler may not be the player he used to be anymore, but he is proving to still be a good red-zone threat, much to former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden’s liking.
