From the article

Jeanty was not nearly as effective against the Chargers as he was against the ACC Dolphins. Jeanty was stuffed on four straight carries inside the five-yard line in the first quarter, then had three drops as a receiver throughout the game. Over two weeks, his 0.11 missed tackles per carry and 0.4 yards before contact are amongst the worst in the league.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jeanty elite usage but poor efficiency; ankle concern late in game vs. Chargers.

Jeanty projects for 90.5 total yards but was not nearly as effective against the Chargers as against the Dolphins. He was stuffed on four straight carries inside the five-yard line in the first quarter and had three drops as a receiver. Over two weeks, his 0.11 missed tackles per carry and 0.4 yards before contact are amongst the worst in the league. The good news is the workload is elite: he's RB3 in usage (23.6 expected half-PPR points) while playing 75% of snaps. Late in the game, Jeanty's right ankle was being looked at by trainers on the sideline, the same one rolled up on in training camp. The matchup is neutral; the Raiders project for 20.75 points (21st).
