Jeanty has taken the most snaps of any of the team's running backs so far this season, but he averaged just over three yards a carry in the first seven games so the Raiders changed things up in Week 8. Mike Washington got more snaps than Jeanty and carried the ball 25 times while Jeanty ran it twice.

Jeanty's snap share dropped sharply in Week 8 after averaging 3+ yards per carry.

Despite being drafted sixth overall in 2025, Jeanty averaged just over three yards per carry in the first seven games, prompting the Raiders to reduce his workload in Week 8. Mike Washington received 25 carries while Jeanty ran it twice, though Jeanty saw most of his playing time on passing downs and recorded a key 45-yard catch and run. Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated the shift was not permanent but rather based on current performance, stating playing time decisions are 'always a moving target' and depend on 'who's playing the best ball at the time.'
