Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Could see even more playing time?
New Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak hinted Wednesday that Ashton Jeanty could play even more of an every-down workhorse role in his second season, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.It comes off as typical coach speak that is routinely thrown around at this stage of the offseason, but it's at least worth noting nonetheless. "It's important to have a quality second back, but the best player has got to play, and we've got to get them on the field as much as we can," 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." Only nine running backs handled more carries and played more snaps than Jeanty last season, so it'll be tough to truly put significantly more on his plate in 2026, but the hope is for far better efficiency behind an improved offensive line with better coaching and quarterback play. Currently in the mix for RB touches that don't go to Jeantyare rookie fourth-rounder Mike Washington, as well as Dylan Laube, Chris Collier and UDFA addition Roman Hemby.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Finishes shy of 1,000 rushing yards
Ashton Jeanty rushed the ball 26 times for 87 yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He added three receptions on five targets for seven yards.Jeanty unsurprisingly remained the focal point of the offense, logging over 25 total touches for the second time in his last three games. He didn't find much running room, though he did manage two rushes of at least 10 yards. Jeanty ultimately finished his rookie campaign with 1,321 yards from scrimmage while falling only 25 rushing yards short of 1,000. The Las Vegas Raiders secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft despite the win and are almost certain to select a quarterback, so Jeanty should have a better supporting cast around him for his sophomore campaign.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Totals 73 yards
Ashton Jeanty rushed the ball 16 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants. He added two receptions on two targets for 13 yards.Jeanty couldn't duplicate his Week 16 heroics and was extremely inefficient for most of the game. He delivered long runs of 24 and 14 yards in the second half to bolster his stat line, the former of which came with four minutes remaining in the game and the Las Vegas Raiders down three scores. Jeanty enters a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs needing 112 rushing yards to reach 1,000 for his rookie season, though he's hit that mark only twice in 16 games to this point.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Overcomes tough matchup against HOU
Ashton Jeanty ran the ball 24 times for 128 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for 60 yards and another score in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.Jeanty was mired in a three-game slump in which he failed to top 35 rushing yards in each start, but he broke out in impressive fashion by scoring touchdowns as both a runner and receiver Sunday. The 21-year-old accomplished the feat against arguably the league's fiercest defense of 2025, helping push the Texans to the brink of a potential shocking upset. The outburst coincided with the return of starting QB Geno Smith (shoulder/back), but the rookie tailback had been struggling with the veteran signal-caller under center earlier in the schedule. Jeanty will attempt to sprint to the finish line of an inconsistent rookie campaign by taking advantage of a soft matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Limited opportunity in loss
Ashton Jeanty rushed nine times for 35 yards and brought in four of six targets for seven yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.Jeanty saw his rushing opportunity curtailed by game script, as the Eagles already held a 17-0 lead by halftime. The rookie first-round pick finished with the second-most receptions on the Raiders, who were being quarterbacked by backup Kenny Pickett. Jeanty's fantasy outlook remains perpetually capped by the team's circumstances on his side of the ball, and the outlook only gets more worrisome in Week 16 when Las Vegas travels to face an elite Texans defense.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Turns 21 touches into 61 yards
Ashton Jeanty rushed 15 times for 31 yards and caught six of eight targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.Jeanty continues to get minimal help from the 2-10 Las Vegas Raiders' overmatched offensive line. The rookie sixth overall pick is averaging 18.7 touches per game but just 3.5 yards per carry heading into a Week 14 home game against the tough Broncos defense. Other Raiders running backs combined for one carry and no targets against the Chargers, so Jeanty remains the unquestioned top option in the backfield for Vegas.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Not listed on injury report
Ashton Jeanty (ankle) isn't listed on the Las Vegas Raiders' Week 13 injury report.Field Yates of ESPN previously noted that Jeanty emerged from Week 12 action with an ankle injury that he sustained late in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns, a game in which the running back recorded an 81 percent snap share while carrying 17 times for 50 yards and catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a TD. On Monday, coach Pete Carroll indicated that he didn't believe Jeanty's ankle issue was anything severe, a notion that has now been confirmed by the fact that the Raiders' lead back is working without restrictions ahead of this weekend's game against the Chargers.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Dealing with ankle issue
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Ashton Jeanty suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns, but it's not believed to be severe, Field Yates of ESPN reports.When asked if the injury could limit Jeanty in practice this week ahead of next Sunday's game against the Chargers, Carroll said, "I haven't heard that it would yet. It sounds like there's a chance that he'll be okay." Despite the Las Vegas Raiders losing 24-10 to Cleveland, Jeanty still had a strong game, totaling 108 yards and one touchdown on 25 touches. He had a particularly strong game as a pass catcher, securing all eight of his targets for 50 yards and a score. If Jeanty would need to miss time, Raheem Mostert, Zamir White and Dylan Laube would be options out of the backfield.
