Jeanty was RB16 on RB11 usage as a rookie in half-PPR, with receptions (RB9 per game) carrying his appeal over rushing yards (RB23 per game); on tape he shows exceptional missed-tackle forcing (0.29 per carry vs. NFL average 0.16) but was indecisive and lacks elite foot quickness, with league-worst yards-before-contact ranking (RB52 out of 52). However, new HC Klint Kubiak's offense ranked 10th in EPA per play, sixth in rushing yards, and second in points with a fast-paced (third in neutral pace) and balanced approach (18th in neutral pass rate)—a major upgrade from ex-OC Chip Kelly's system. Raiders OL is improving with top-five center Tyler Linderbaum on a record-breaking contract, LT Kolton Miller returning after four games, and potential upgrades on the right side; Jeanty had RB52 yards-before-contact ranking (dead last) last year, so this OL improvement should dramatically increase his rushing efficiency and workload inside the top eight. With Brock Bowers healthy, Jalen Nailor in the mix, better QB play from Fernando Mendoza over 2025 Geno Smith, and a defense that added two edge rushers and five secondary/linebacker pieces, Jeanty should showcase more broken tackles with more space to operate; the source expects it would be a surprise if he wasn't a top-10 fantasy RB in 2026.
