Monday Night Football
Las Vegas @ Detroit
Team Totals: Lions 27, Raiders 19
After missing Week 7, Jimmy Garoppolo (back) will return on Monday night. Even after sitting out two games, Jimmy G has thrown a league-high eight interceptions while averaging a career-low 7.3 yards per attempt and just 216 passing yards per game. He’s a two-QB-league option at best. … Averaging a paltry 2.9 yards per carry, Josh Jacobs has been one of the NFL’s least-efficient running backs. His -76 rushing yards versus expectation are third lowest among 41 qualified backs (Next Gen Stats). Jacobs’ average of 22 opportunities per game keeps him on the RB1/2 map, even in a tough Week 8 spot against a Lions defense yielding 3.6 yards per carry and the league’s fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs.
Garoppolo’s 2023 targets: Davante Adams 46; Jakobi Meyers 39; Jacobs 24; Michael Mayer 11; Ameer Abdullah 9; Austin Hooper 7; Hunter Renfrow 6; DeAndre Carter 5; Tre Tucker and Zamir White 3. … Adams has grown increasingly vocal about his usage after he drew nine total looks from Garoppolo in Weeks 5 and 6, leading to empty 4/45/0 and 2/29/0 stat lines. Adams was targeted 12 times last week by Brian Hoyer but dropped a would-be touchdown and finished with 57 scoreless yards on seven grabs.
