Silver And Black Pride on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
a running back change where Mike Washington Jr. became the lead back and Ashton Jeanty was the third-down option in New York leads the discussion surrounding the Raiders in the Week 9 NFL Power Rankings
STACKED’s take
Jeanty demoted to third-down role despite leading RBs in receptions (37) and receiving yards (376).
No. 6 overall pick demoted to third-down, pass-catching role after Week 8 Jets game, finishing with just 2 carries for 9 yards while Mike Washington Jr. took 25 carries for 83 yards. Despite demotion, Jeanty leads all RBs with 37 receptions, 376 receiving yards (82 more than second), and 3 receiving TDs; ranks fifth in yards per reception (10.16) and ninth in EPA per target (0.16) among RBs with 50+ touches. His 48 targets far exceed the eight RBs with higher EPA/target (only Chuba Hubbard has 20+ targets with 26). The demotion may have been influenced by pre-game comments about the Jets, though the source notes this likely wasn't the sole reason for the role reduction.
