Jeanty's red zone efficiency (1.6 ypc on 22 attempts for 36 yards inside the 20-yard line) is better than Washington's 1.2 ypc, and he's viewed as the better option at getting tough yards; potential formula for Kubiak moving forward could involve Washington helping get the offense into the red zone and then Jeanty taking over with fresh legs for scoring opportunities.NegativeRoleNov 6, 2026
Demoted to third-down option and backup role in Week 8 against the Jets with just two carries and three catches after head coach Klint Kubiak made the workload shift; Kubiak's decision may have been punitive-based due to Jeanty's comments to the Jets media about New York's defense not wanting to tackle, though Kubiak indicated workload splits will vary game-to-game based on performance.NegativeUsageNov 6, 2026
Jeanty is second on the Raiders with 37 receptions for 376 yards and three touchdowns this season. He may have received a soft benching last week, as his snap share dipped significantly in favor of rookie Mike Washington. Despite the reduced usage, Jeanty remains a very talented pass catcher and will draw Fred Warner's attention in coverage this weekend, as the 49ers work to mitigate the Raiders' passing game threat through the running back position.NegativeRoleNov 6, 2026
Ashton Jeanty, a former first-round pick, has transitioned to a complementary back role behind Mike Washington Jr. in the Raiders' backfield, indicating reduced offensive touches and role clarity in a two-back system.NegativeRoleNov 6, 2026
Jeanty projects for 68.5 total yards but faces a significant role reduction. He's the first player to have the same or fewer carries in 8-straight games to open a season, per Doug Clawson. Coach Klint Kubiak has been scaling down his carries and communicated a role change to Jeanty before Week 8. Jeanty was outsnapped by Mike Washington Jr. in Week 8, and while that game could be a one-game experiment, it would be a surprise if Jeanty returned to his early-season workhorse role. Kubiak views the duo as closer to even than the market does; Washington is a better athlete for the wide zone, while Jeanty's power-based skill set is struggling to find cutback lanes. Jeanty's pass-game role is safe, and the source projects a more even split on early-down runs, making him RB18 on RB15 usage since Week 3. The Raiders are 10-point dogs to the 49ers.PositiveValueNov 6, 2026

Ashton Jeanty is listed as a fade for Week 9 against San Francisco, a tough defensive matchup.NegativeMatchupNov 6, 2026
Jeanty should be faded against San Francisco this week.PositiveRoleNov 5, 2026
Ashton Jeanty got the message in Week 8; he actually made the most of his extremely limited workload and still maintained the lead in passing situations. More likely to force more of a timeshare on early downs instead of repeating last week's 25-2 disaster, Jeanty gets one more week ahead of Mike Washington Jr. in the ranks.NegativeUsageNov 5, 2026
Jeanty's workload is uncertain after the Raiders gave him just two carries against the Jets while giving Mike Washington Jr. 25 carries. He will remain productive as a receiver, but his uncertain between-the-tackles workload makes it hard to trust the former first-round pick, especially against a 49ers defense allowing just 3.6 yards per carry to running backs. It's better to wait and see whether the decrease in carries was punishment or a sign of what's to come in Klint Kubiak's rotation.NegativeBustNov 4, 2026
Ashton Jeanty was always a bad summer idea between a bum ankle and the presence of rookie Mike Washington Jr.; it was still a shock to see Washington completely take over the running workload in Week 8, raising questions about whether it was a sea change or a soft benching for out-of-school comments.NegativeRoleNov 4, 2026
The 2025 No. 6 overall pick running back may have just become a backup running back, representing a significant role downgrade and disappointment for a high draft capital investment.NegativeUsageNov 4, 2026
The No. 6 overall draft pick saw his play time and work load decrease dramatically in a 38-33 win at the New York Jets; he played a career low 40 percent of the snaps with just two carries, while rookie fourth-round pick Mike Washington received a whopping 25 carries. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said the decision had nothing to do with Jeanty's disparaging words about the Jets' defense. The source notes this was a major development and will monitor whether Jeanty gets more work against the 49ers.NegativeUsageNov 3, 2026
Ashton Jeanty appeared in the Raiders' Week 9 victory over the Jets (38-33) on November 1, 2026, indicating active roster participation during the game.NegativeRoleNov 3, 2026
Jeanty was benched after six of seven weeks of a lacking running game, receiving only two rushing attempts in the game. However, the source notes Jeanty will continue to have a big role in the running game moving forward and has a well-rounded skill set with pass-catching ability that produces better receiving numbers than some marquee wide receiver #1s.NegativeDepth ChartNov 3, 2026
Jeanty was essentially benched in Week 8 against the Jets, finishing with 2 carries for 9 yards while Mike Washington had 25 for 83. The demotion came after Jeanty made disparaging comments about the Jets, which prompted former Jets head coach Rex Ryan to call him 'soft as Charmin.' While the comments may have played a factor in Kubiak's decision to reduce his role in a pivotal playoff game, the 25-2 carry split will be telling if it continues against San Francisco this weekend—a strong sign Jeanty wasn't just being disciplined but is losing the lead-back role.PositiveRoleNov 3, 2026
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 draft has been demoted to a third-down, pass-catching role after Mike Washington Jr. took over as the lead back. In Week 8 against the Jets, Jeanty finished with just 2 carries for 9 yards, a stark contrast to his season-long receiving production where he leads all running backs with 37 catches, 376 yards (82 more than any other RB), and 3 receiving TDs. Jeanty ranks fifth among running backs with 50+ touches in yards per reception (10.16) and ninth in EPA per target (0.16) on 48 targets. The irony is that he's been one of the league's best receiving backs, yet the Raiders didn't draft him sixth overall to play a complementary role.NegativeRoleNov 3, 2026
The No. 6 overall pick from last season was benched in favor of fourth-round pick Mike Washington, receiving just two carries in the game. This represents a dramatic role reduction and raises questions about his standing in the Raiders' backfield.NegativeUsageNov 3, 2026
Jeanty received just two rushes in Week 8 compared to 25 carries for Mike Washington Jr., a dramatic reduction in workload. He was heavily involved in the passing game with 3 receptions for 64 yards but was not targeted in the game. The coaching staff may have been trying to get his attention by cutting his workload, similar to the Cam Skattebo situation.PositiveUsageNov 3, 2026
Despite being drafted sixth overall in 2025, Jeanty averaged just over three yards per carry in the first seven games, prompting the Raiders to reduce his workload in Week 8. Mike Washington received 25 carries while Jeanty ran it twice, though Jeanty saw most of his playing time on passing downs and recorded a key 45-yard catch and run. Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated the shift was not permanent but rather based on current performance, stating playing time decisions are 'always a moving target' and depend on 'who's playing the best ball at the time.'NegativeUsageNov 3, 2026
Ashton Jeanty took a backseat to rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. in Las Vegas' Week 8 38-33 victory over the New York Jets, indicating a potential shift in the Raiders' backfield usage.NegativeProjectionNov 3, 2026
RB Ashton Jeanty has rushed for fewer than 50 yards in more than half of his 25 NFL starts, indicating inconsistent production for the Raiders.NegativeUsageNov 3, 2026
The Raiders gave Jeanty just two carries against the Jets while giving Mike Washington Jr. a whopping 25, raising questions about his role in Klint Kubiak's running back rotation. Jeanty will remain productive as a receiver, but his uncertain between-the-tackles workload makes it hard to trust the former first-round pick, especially against a 49ers defense allowing just 3.6 yards per carry to running backs this season.NegativeUsageNov 2, 2026
Ashton Jeanty received only two carries in the Raiders' win over the Jets despite previously dominating, possibly due to being in the doghouse; he still dominates third-down and passing game work, making this a situation to monitor.NegativeUsageNov 2, 2026
Backup running back received only two carries in Week 8 against the Jets, far behind lead back Mike Washington Jr.'s 25 carries. Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated the workload is performance-based and subject to change week-to-week, suggesting Jeanty's limited role reflects current standing in the backfield hierarchy.NegativeUsageNov 2, 2026
Higher-drafted running back Jeanty was sandwiched between the two tight ends in the receiving game, hauling in three passes for 64 yards including a 45-yard screen pass gain in the fourth quarter that helped set up a Cousins-to-Nailor touchdown connection. However, he was limited to two carries for nine yards on the ground, with head coach Kubiak noting Jeanty remains a 'big part' of the Raiders offense despite the workload distribution favoring Mike Washington Jr.PositiveProjectionNov 2, 2026
Ashton Jeanty was named to the Week 8 All Bank Examiner Squad at running back, indicating strong recent performance and fantasy production.NegativeUsageNov 2, 2026
Jeanty was benched on early downs by the Raiders coaching staff after speaking during the week about the Jets' tackling issues. He was out-carried 25-2 by Mike Washington Jr., though he gained just 10 fewer yards on 20 fewer touches (73 yards vs. 83 yards). Despite Washington getting stuffed on short-yardage carries including at the goal line, Jeanty now faces a touches dogfight. However, with his dominance of high-value handles through the air, Jeanty is probably still the preferred play in fantasy.NegativeRoleNov 2, 2026
Mike Washington Jr., a 4th-round pick in 2026, has taken over as head coach Klint Kubiak's favored running back. Washington is being used as a bigger, bruising short-yardage back to punctuate the passing offense, receiving the lion's share of carries against the Jets. Jeanty, drafted as a three-down back, is now stuck in an offense that doesn't want or need him, appearing to be a vestige of a bygone era under Kubiak's scheme.NegativeBustNov 2, 2026
Jeanty, drafted 6th overall in 2025, has become an afterthought in the Raiders offense midway through his second season. His usage has collapsed dramatically: 23 carries in the season opener, declining to 10 by October 11, then 8 against the Rams, and just 2 carries for 9 yards against the Jets despite the team running 28 times. He's averaging a paltry 3.5 yards per carry with only 6 career touchdowns and a 42% successful run rate. Most damning: he averages just 1.9 yards after contact and 1.5 yards before contact, revealing he lacks the explosiveness he showed in college and cannot create for himself, make people miss, or generate power from the backfield.NegativeRoleNov 2, 2026
Jeanty was benched in favor of Mike Washington Jr. on Sunday versus the Jets, seeing only two carries while Washington rushed 25 times. Jeanty added three catches for 64 yards but has not hit 25 carries in a game this year and only once as a rookie. He has a dismal 1.9% explosive run rate compared to Washington's 7.7%.NegativeUsageNov 2, 2026
Jeanty was aware heading into the Raiders' Week 8 game against the Jets that he would be getting fewer carries, resulting in a reduced workload. When asked about the limited touches, Jeanty stated 'We won. It doesn't matter how I feel about how much times I get the ball. Whatever it takes for the team to win, I just want to win. That's all,' per The Athletic's Sam Warren, indicating a shift in his role despite the Raiders' victory.NegativeRoleNov 2, 2026
Jeanty was relegated to the bench and became the team's third-down back after being communicated this role before the game; he received minimal carries while Mike Washington Jr. took 25 of 28 running back carries. While this demotion is described as iron-clad regression that is unlikely to persist for the remainder of the season, it signals a significant short-term role reduction.NegativeUsageNov 2, 2026
Jeanty earned just five touches in Las Vegas's 38-33 victory over the Jets; drafted sixth overall a year ago, he is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry after 25 NFL games and has had little impact in his career, drawing criticism from ESPN the source and former Jets coach Rex Ryan.NegativeRoleNov 1, 2026
Head coach Klint Kubiak stated postgame that Jeanty would remain a big part of the Raiders' offense moving forward, saying 'Ashton's still gonna be a big part of our team. … He's gonna be a huge part of our run game going forward.' Kubiak denied that Jeanty's decreased role Sunday had anything to do with his mid-week comments calling out Jets defenders, instead framing the decision as wanting to give Mike Washington Jr. more opportunities.NegativeProjectionNov 1, 2026
Jeanty entered Sunday's game against the Jets averaging 3.1 yards per carry in what the source describes as a bad sophomore NFL season. Against the Jets, he averaged 4.5 yards per carry (9 yards on 2 carries), but the Raiders' run game overall averaged just 2.9 yards per carry and ranked 31st in the league with 74.7 rushing yards per game entering the week.NegativeDepth ChartNov 1, 2026
Jeanty has been relegated to No. 2 on the Raiders' depth chart behind fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr., who took on a bellcow role with 25 carries for 83 yards against the Jets. The source notes that the 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist and elite running back prospect appears to have lost his lead role.NegativeUsageNov 1, 2026
Jeanty carried the ball just 2 times for 9 yards against the Jets on Sunday, marking his lowest workload of the season with 5 total touches (2 carries, 3 receptions for 64 yards). His carry volume has declined sharply from 23 in Week 1 to 21, 19, 15, 10, 10, 8, and now 2 carries in subsequent weeks, suggesting a significant role reduction despite being the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.NegativeUsageNov 1, 2026
Raiders second-year running back Ashton Jeanty played a backup role against the Jets, not receiving his first carry until the second quarter and finishing with just two carries for nine yards and three catches for 64 receiving yards (including a crucial 45-yard screen pass). Rookie fourth-round pick Mike Washington led the backfield with 23 carries for 83 yards. Coach Klint Kubiak stated Jeanty will still be a big part of the offense and that Jeanty's disparaging comments about Jets defenders last week did not play a role in his reduced carries, but this usage pattern warrants monitoring.NegativeUsageNov 1, 2026
Despite big talk during the week, Jeanty was mostly a nonfactor as Las Vegas featured rookie Mike Washington more heavily instead. Jeanty had just one carry for one yard entering the fourth quarter, though his 45-yard catch and run set up a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, showing limited early-game involvement.PositiveUsageNov 1, 2026
Jeanty broke off a big catch and run late in the third quarter that helped the Raiders move down the field and eventually score a touchdown to take a 35-30 lead early in the fourth quarter.NegativeRoleNov 1, 2026
Jeanty was limited to a third-down back role for the Raiders despite having a 45-yard catch that set up a touchdown; he was not featured in the primary running back role with Washington handling 25 carries.NegativeUsageNov 1, 2026
Jeanty, who had criticized the Jets defense before the game, was limited to one carry for one yard and one catch for 15 yards in the first half as the Raiders' offense struggled to generate offense outside of special teams and Brock Bowers' touchdown.NegativeUsageNov 1, 2026
The lead back has struggled with just 3.1 yards per carry compared to backup Mike Washington Jr.'s 4.9; defenses key in on Jeanty more when he's in the backfield. The source also notes that attacking the guards in the running game is a trouble spot for the Raiders, continuing to be a big part of the issue with Jeanty's lack of production.PositiveMatchupNov 1, 2026
The source identifies Week 8 as a potential breakout opportunity for Ashton Jeanty against the Jets' poor run defense. New York has allowed 232, 148, and 156 rushing yards in three of their last four games, and the source projects Jeanty to exceed 50 rushing yards, citing the Jets' defensive vulnerability.NegativeUsageOct 31, 2026
Last year's top pick continues to see high volume but has been inefficient with a 3.1 yards per carry average; he has ramped up passing game production with 640 yards from scrimmage and four total touchdowns, though he ranks 25th out of 26 qualifying backs in forced missed tackles.NegativeMatchupOct 31, 2026
Ashton Jeanty made tackling comments that prompted a response from Jets defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who said his Jets will be 'ready to play'; the Jets defense is quietly aware of Jeanty's comments and has no choice but to respond heading into Week 8.NegativeProjectionOct 31, 2026
The source predicts the Jets defense will hold Ashton Jeanty to under 40 yards rushing in response to Jeanty's strong performance against the Jets in a prior week.NegativeMatchupOct 30, 2026
Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty called out the Jets' unwillingness to tackle on Wednesday; the source notes Jeanty has played in seven games this season as Las Vegas' leading running back with 328 rushing yards and three touchdowns, plus 34 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown as the Raiders' third-leading receiver. The Jets' run defense ranks 24th in the league, allowing 127.7 yards per game on average.NegativeMatchupOct 30, 2026
Raiders RB Jeanty has 10 forced missed tackles (tied for No. 27 in the league per Pro Football Focus) and drew criticism from Jets head coach Aaron Glenn for saying film study shows some Jets defenders don't want to tackle; Glenn responded that his team will be ready to play Sunday, suggesting the Jets view this as bulletin board material and will be motivated to tackle effectively against Jeanty.NegativeMatchupOct 30, 2026
The Raiders starting running back is averaging 3.1 yards per carry, ranking 37th amongst running backs and below the league average of 4.2 yards per carry. Despite expressing confidence that the Raiders can get the run game going against the Jets, Jeanty faces a Jets run defense ranked 24th in the league allowing 894 yards, and the Jets are expected to load the box with eight defenders to stonewall the Raiders' ground game which averages a meager 3.0 yards per carry (second-last in the NFL).PositiveMatchupOct 30, 2026
Ashton Jeanty believes the Raiders can run effectively on the Jets because the Jets have players not interested in tackling; this matchup presents an opportunity for the Raiders to establish their run game, which has been the worst in the NFL this season.PositiveMatchupOct 30, 2026
Jeanty's confidence in facing the Jets likely stems from their defensive rankings: 24th in rushing yards allowed per game (128.1) and 21st in missed tackle rate (12.9 percent). The Jets surrendered 156 rushing yards to Miami last week, with Ollie Gordon II forcing a career-high 10 missed tackles. The Raiders offense ranks 31st in rushing yards per game (74.7) and yards per carry (3.0), but the Jets defense presents a favorable matchup for a bounce-back performance.NegativeProjectionOct 30, 2026
Jeanty has failed to justify his position as the highest-drafted running back in seven years since being selected No. 6 overall by the Raiders last year. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry as a rookie and is down to 3.1 yards per carry this season, ranking 49th in the NFL, with 328 rushing yards through seven games.NegativeUsageOct 29, 2026
Raiders starting running back Ashton Jeanty is struggling in a dysfunctional ground game; he runs into the backs of offensive linemen or is taken down behind or at the line of scrimmage. Las Vegas ranks third-worst in rushing yards (523 total through seven games) with a 3.0 yards per carry average (second-worst in the league), and the team produced only 72 rushing yards in the Week 4 loss to Kansas City and 48 yards against the Rams.PositiveMatchupOct 29, 2026
Jeanty believes the Raiders can get the run game going against the Jets defense, citing that the Jets have "couple guys out there that don't really want to tackle." The Jets have allowed 152.6 yards per game over the last five contests after strong showings in weeks 1-2, presenting a favorable matchup for Jeanty despite the Raiders ranking No. 31 in the league with three yards per carry entering Week 8.PositiveUsageOct 29, 2026
Ashton Jeanty has been much better in pass protection lately, allowing just one pressure in the last four games while recording three PFF pass-blocking grades in the high 70s to low 80s three times during that stretch. This improvement in pass protection complements his elite receiving production and makes him a more complete offensive weapon.PositiveRoleOct 29, 2026
Ashton Jeanty has almost as many receiving yards as rushing yards so far this year (312 to 328) and currently leads all running backs in receptions (34, tied with Christian McCaffrey), receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns (three). He's also the most targeted back in the league with 43 targets and is tied for seventh with Jahmyr Gibbs in yards per route run at 1.91 according to PFF, making him a dual-threat weapon in the Raiders' offense.PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026
Ashton Jeanty is barely producing as a rusher but is revving up the free PPR points machine; he is commanding a target on 29.2 percent of his routes, an extremely strong mark for a running back, especially one who is ostensibly an every-down player and not a passing-game specialist; the source characterizes him as a PPR-based RB2 who could become a whole lot more if he ever gets in gear between the tackles.NegativeBustOct 29, 2026
Jeanty, a first-round pick for the Raiders, is being questioned as a potential bust; he averages 3.1 yards per carry, ranking 49th in the NFL among ball carriers, while the Raiders rank 31st in rushing as a team. His pre-game comments calling out Jets defenders lack credibility given his underperformance relative to elite backs like Derrick Henry.PositiveMatchupOct 29, 2026
Jeanty believes the Jets' defense has players who don't want to tackle, which excites him heading into Sunday's matchup. He stated: "I think we can definitely get the run game going. Get back on track and really get after these guys. A couple guys out there that don't really want to tackle." The Jets allowed Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon to rush for 103 yards and a touchdown last week, suggesting a vulnerable run defense that Jeanty can exploit despite averaging just 3.1 yards per carry this season.NegativeMatchupOct 28, 2026
The Jets rank 15th in half PPR points allowed to running backs at 19.7 per game. New York surrendered an RB4 finish to Kyle Monangai in Week 4 and an RB14 outing to Ollie Gordon in Week 7. Neither are receiving-based backs, for what it's worth, but there's no way to call this anything other than a promising matchup. Las Vegas has an implied team total of 22.0 points (17th) as slight road dogs.NegativeRoleOct 28, 2026
Most of Jeanty's failures on the ground are because the C Tyler Linderbaum signing has Baum-ed, but he's still a bit slow to react and burst upfield, too. In the open field, his ankle seems fine, but Jeanty just never gets there. Dc Brian Flores doesn't think he's a great wide zone fit, and it was embarrassing that the Raiders couldn't run the ball when the Rams showed up with six+ DBs for a record amount of snaps last week.NegativeUsageOct 28, 2026
Jeanty's rushing volume has contracted lately, averaging 10.8 carries (RB36) and 30.5 rushing yards (RB47) over his last four games, but his passing-game involvement keeps him afloat. Over that 4-game stretch, he is the RB21 on RB13 usage, powered by 7.0 targets (RB2) and 5.3 receptions per game (RB3). In Week 7, he set season highs with eight receptions and 28 air yards, pulling in a 15-yard touchdown reception.PositiveValueOct 28, 2026
Ranked #16 in rest-of-season RB trade value with a HALFPPR value of 47; positioned in the lower-middle tier of running back trade values.NegativeUsageOct 28, 2026
Jeanty increased snap share to 72 percent (from 58 percent prior week) but continued to struggle as a rusher with just 15 yards on eight carries, extending a season-long trend of averaging less than three yards per carry over five games; however, he posted a season-high eight catches for 61 yards, tied for league-high among running backs, indicating his primary fantasy value is now in receiving rather than rushing production.NegativeRoleOct 27, 2026
Despite being a former first-round draft pick (#6 overall), Jeanty is being used ineffectively by head coach Klint Kubiak; the source characterizes him as 'more Jalen Richard than the generational talent he was billed as,' noting that Mike Washington Jr. is the clearly superior option at running back but continues to be featured for three plays and a punt. Jeanty had his lowest average yards per carry of the season (1.9 yards) in this game, though he has proved his worth as a pass catcher with a season-high eight receptions on eight targets, including a 22-yard sideline catch and 15-yard touchdown pass. The source argues Kubiak should switch Jeanty to a complementary role better suited to his skill set rather than continuing to feature an ineffective runner.NegativeBustOct 27, 2026
Jeanty continues to make a massive impact in the passing game with a beautiful TD catch in Week 7, but he has averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry in each of his past six games and has a season average of just 3.1 yards per carry. He is being outperformed by Mike Washington Jr. on the ground.NegativeUsageOct 27, 2026
Ashton Jeanty is struggling to find room to run, indicating offensive line or scheme challenges limiting his rushing effectiveness.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Despite rushing struggles, Jeanty has emerged as a reliable pass-catcher; he caught all eight passes thrown to him in Sunday's loss for 61 yards and a touchdown. For the season, he has 34 catches for 312 yards and three receiving touchdowns, providing a floor in PPR formats and potential value in pass-heavy game scripts.NegativeBustOct 26, 2026
The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft has underperformed significantly; Jeanty has 106 carries for 328 yards (3.1 yards per carry), the lowest average among all running backs with comparable volume. He has only 15 rushing first downs—fewer than every other running back with at least 90 carries—and just one rushing touchdown. His backup, fourth-round rookie Mike Washington, is averaging 4.9 yards per carry, suggesting the problem is not purely blocking or scheme. Jeanty is also struggling in short-yardage situations where he should be most effective.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Jeanty added eight carries for 15 yards and eight receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown, including a well-designed 15-yard touchdown pass from Cousins in the third quarter as the Raiders attempted a second-half comeback.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Jeanty had only 15 yards on eight carries in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday. This poor performance is part of a broader offensive struggle; the Raiders have not run for more than 100 yards as a group in a single game since their four-game losing skid began.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Ashton Jeanty completed a touchdown catch in the fourth quarter of the Raiders' 35-18 home loss to the LA Rams on October 25, 2026, demonstrating involvement in the passing game during a blowout loss.PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
Jeanty scored his eighth career touchdown pass, the most by any running back in the NFL since the start of last season and the most receiving touchdowns by a running back in their first two seasons in Raiders franchise history. He added eight catches for 61 yards in the game.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Jeanty's rushing troubles continue to mount; he managed just 15 yards on eight carries in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams, extending a pattern of poor ground performance. The Raiders' overall rushing attack was anemic at 48 yards, forcing the offense into a pass-heavy approach (44 passes, 17 runs) that coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged must change.NegativeUsageOct 25, 2026
Had limited rushing production with 15 yards on eight carries but contributed 61 yards receiving on eight catches for Raiders; scored a 15-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins that narrowed Rams' lead to 28-18, showing dual-threat role despite modest ground game.NegativeUsageOct 25, 2026
Jeanty led the Raiders' rushing attack with five carries for just 9 yards (1.8 yards per carry) in the first half; he was more productive as a receiver with five catches for 38 yards.NegativeUsageOct 25, 2026
Ashton Jeanty is not quite himself while fighting through ankle and foot injuries. He is averaging under 2.5 yards per carry the past couple weeks. The Raiders are already 31st in the league in yards per attempt (3.0), and much of that has been due to Jeanty's struggles with injuries.NegativeUsageOct 24, 2026
Jeanty is one of two running backs (alongside Mike Washington Jr.) whose improved execution and quick decision-making is integral if Las Vegas intends to topple Los Angeles. The Raiders run game ranks third-worst in the NFL with 475 yards rushing, but faces a Rams run defense that allows the seventh-most rushing yards (762), presenting an opportunity for the ground game to improve.
