Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is "still on the mend," according to head coach Klint Kubiak.
Huddle Up: Kubiak has another week to heal up before Week 1, so it will be worth monitoring his situation. The Raiders were noted to be "counting on him" for then, so it seems there is a positive attitude towards him playing.

Updating previous reports, Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty's (ankle) injury is believed to be an ankle sprain that is more low than high. There is a chance he's unavailable for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Mike Washington was a fourth-round pick this year, and he has nine rushes for 56 yards in preseason action. This will allow the team to get a closer look at him in the interim. If Jeanty misses one game, his fantasy stock really doesn't change much. He'll be a high-volume, midrange RB1, and Washington could be a matchup play in the opener.

Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is believed to have suffered a sprained ankle, and while he will miss time, it is not considered a long-term injury, according to sources.
Huddle Up: It appears Jeanty has avoided a major injury that would force him to miss extended time. It remains to be seen if he will be ready for Week 1, but all things considered, this is a good outcome. As long as he isn't expected to miss more than a game or two, Jeanty remains a RB1 option.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (knee) left practice early Sunday, Aug. 23, after suffered an apparent right knee injury. He was attempting a diving catch during the team period, he landed awkwardly, and he was helped off the field by trainers. He also unable to put any pressure on the right leg.
Huddle Up: Jeanty is considered a Top 5 fantasy running back worthy of a first-round pick in most drafts, so this is gigantic news. If Jeanty is forced to miss time, Mike Washington Jr. would be the next man up, with Dylan Laube and rookie Roman Hemby vying for time, which would obviously be disastrous for the Raiders. Stay tuned.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty rushed three times for 16 yards in the preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, Aug. 13.
Huddle Up: Jeanty soldiered through a tough rookie season, grinding out yards behind a poor offensive line with little help from the passing game. If offseason upgrades prove effective, Jeanty could be in for a huge sophomore campaign. His ceiling makes him worth a look as a low-end RB1.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty changed his diet this offseason and has dropped down to 207 pounds.
Huddle Up: While dropping a bit of weight could help with Jeanty's explosiveness, the upgrades the Raiders made to the offensive line will likely pay even bigger dividends. Jeanty deserves to be in the RB1 mix, and it wouldn't be a shock if he finished the year as one of the top-five options at the position.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty will be a player that rarely leaves the field, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. "We want to put a lot of pressure on Ashton," Kubiak said. "I don't know the play snap percentage, but you look at Christian McCaffrey, his play snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don't want to come off the field."
Huddle Up: Jeanty had 966 rushing yards but also had 55 catches out of the backfield. If that continues to trend up, he could easily become a top-five back in fantasy with the way that committees are used.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach should be expected to use more 12 and 13 personnel plays to help out RB Ashton Jeanty in 2026, according to ESPN's Ben Solak.
Huddle Up: Jeanty had success as a rookie, just not the insane production that his last college season set the bar for. He can be a reliable RB2 in 2026 with some flashes of being an RB1 in various weeks.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak told the media that the team will adopt a committee approach to its backfield. Kubiak was quoted as saying, "It's important for (Ashton) Jeanty to have a wingman."
Huddle Up: Jeanty working in a committee isn't the worst news to fantasy players' ears. In Seattle, Kubiak used both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, with Walker remaining the lead back. This should help Jeanty stay fresh later in games, but fantasy players can understandably proceed with caution.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty can't fix the running game on his own, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. "Very excited about Jeanty's talent, but the thing I would tell him and all his teammates is that it's not just about one guy," Kubiak said. "We gotta get the line on the same page, we gotta get our quarterback to get the right run checks. We gotta get our receivers to block for him, alright, so that we can get the play-action going. As soon as our players can realize that it's a team thing, it's not an individual thing, we're gonna be successful."
Huddle Up: Jeanty had to work for every yard as a rookie, but with a few offseason additions, along with Kubiak's offensive system, it wouldn't be surprise to see Jeanty's numbers improve in 2026. His volume alone makes him a RB2, and a RB1 season isn't out of the question.
