Of course, sensational rookie running back Josh Jacobs is always a player to watch, and he’s undoubtedly been featured in this column before.

But if the Raiders can keep their edge, Jacobs could be in line for a breakout game, even for him.

The Bengals’ run defense allows an incredible 173 yards per game at this point in the season, worst in the NFL. Watch to see if Jacobs can put on a show even he has yet to perform.

Also, keep an eye on the next two players on the list, who figure to ignite any fireworks on offense by the Raiders’ skill players.
