I was stunned that he handled only two rushing attempts, to go along with four targets, against the Jets. Backup running back Mike Washington handled 25 carries for 83 yards in a game the Raiders won.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Jeanty's role in jeopardy as Washington dominates carries; game-script dependent.

Jeanty handled only two rushing attempts and four targets against the Jets while backup Mike Washington handled 25 carries for 83 yards in a Raiders win. The source is skeptical this was a one-off, viewing it as two running backs moving toward specific roles rather than a backfield split. If Washington continues to handle primary rushing duties, Jeanty will be heavily reliant on game script; even in a shootout against New York, the Raiders passed only 26 times, leaving very little for anyone not named Brock Bowers. This is clearly worth real concern for Jeanty investors.
