STACKED’s take
Jeanty finished RB13 as rookie; 3.7 YPC, 975 yards; sixth-worst RYOE among backs
Drafted sixth overall by the Raiders in 2025, Jeanty finished his rookie season as RB13 despite a horrible supporting cast, which the source suggests probably represents his floor for 2026. However, his rookie performance was disappointing relative to his draft position. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry and rushed for just 975 yards despite starting all 17 games, with only two 100-yard rushing games and three games over 75 yards. Advanced metrics show he was an inefficient rusher; he had the sixth-worst rushing yards over expectation among NFL backs according to Next Gen Stats, with a breakaway percentage of 17.7%. The poor performance was attributed partly to the Raiders' bad offensive line, coaching turmoil (offensive coordinator Chip Kelly fired midseason), and quarterback Geno Smith's collapse, but Jeanty still underperformed expectations.
