Somehow, Ashton Jeanty was the RB13 as a rookie, despite a horrible supporting cast. That finish probably represents his floor for 2026. The Raiders have significantly improved their offensive line, and new head coach Klint Kubiak knows how to design a running game. Jeanty also has the looks of a bell-cow back, with fourth-round rookie Mike Washington the nearest teammate on the depth chart. If you hold a pick close to the wheel (10-11, or 12-13) in your fantasy draft, Jeanty looks like a reasonable target.
