Ranked as RB16, Ashton Jeanty's outlook is tempered by his recent ankle injury and the expectation of a backfield split. The source is waiting for full practice reports to gain confidence, noting that while he was drafted as a high-upside player, the team may limit his Week 1 workload.NegativeUsageAug 17, 2026

Rookie running back faced a brutal offensive line situation in 2024; the source emphasizes that offensive line is the primary driver of production and notes that Jeanty will almost certainly perform better this year with improved line play. Jeanty has a unique play style as a power runner who tries to run over defenders rather than an ultra-dynamic outrun type, contrasting with players like Jahmyr Gibbs or Saquon Barkley; he might accumulate 75 yards while breaking four tackles on the way, whereas Gibbs or Barkley might go untouched. The Raiders need to get the run game on track after it didn't improve last year despite the pick.PositiveProjectionNo date
