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.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty averaged only 1.6 yards before contact during the 2025 regular season.
Huddle Up: Jeanty finished the season with 975 rushing yards and did average 3.7 yards per carry during the season. He will be working in a new offensive system next season but should continue to be a big part of the offense. He can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in all fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty gained 863 of his 975 rushing yards after contact in 2025.
Huddle Up: Jeanty failed to live up to the high expectations that followed him into the league, but he didn't exactly get much help from his offensive line. He still managed to top 1,300 yards from scrimmage and score 10 times, and his 55 receptions were a reminder of his receiving ability. If the Raiders can make some upgrades on offense before next season, Jeanty could quickly become a weekly RB1.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty logged a season-high 26 carries for 87 yards and caught three of his five targets for seven yards in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Jeanty's rookie season will be considered a disappointment for what most expect from a No. 6 overall draft pick, but that really should not be the case. The Boise State product ran behind arguably the league's worst offensive line for most of the year and operated in an offense led by a play-caller (Chip Kelly) who has proven he cannot adapt once the league adapts to him. It should not come as a surprise if Jeanty falls into the late second or early third round of fantasy drafts this spring and summer, which would make him a great value if the Raiders can upgrade a few key spots this offseason - starting with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty had 16 rushes for 60 yards in Week 17 against the New York Giants, while going for two receptions and 13 yards on two targets.
Huddle Up: Jeanty didn't do a lot against a very giving defense, so you could say it was a bit of a disappointment after the rookie scorched a top-tier Houston defense in Week 16 for 128 rushing yards, 60 receiving yards and two total TDs. Still, Jeanty has looks good at times behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. The arrow is certainly pointing up for Jeanty heading into 2026.
