Raiders to determine RB work by "who’s playing the best ball at the time"
PFT reports the Raiders will dole out RB work based on performance rather than draft pedigree, muddying what was supposed to be Jeanty's workload as a rookie sixth overall pick.
When the Raiders drafted Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in 2025, the expectation was that he'd be their top choice in the backfield for years to come.
Sharp take
Sharp SixStartRight · +4.3 over the lineA committee framing on a top-six pick is never good news. Jeanty is still rostered everywhere and still your starter, but a 51.5-point total as 10-point dogs means game script could get ugly fast if he's not the hot hand. This is noise until it's touches. Start him and stop refreshing the depth chart.
