The Raiders' backfield was one of the more stunning developments in Week 8, with Jeanty playing a season-low 40% of the snaps and only seeing five touches. Meanwhile, Washington played 60% of the time and led the way with 25 carries for 83 yards. After the game, Klint Kubiak suggested this was not a one-game punishment and instead a sign of things to come with their running back room.

Washington earned 60% snaps and 25 carries; Kubiak signals lasting role shift.

In Week 8, Washington played 60% of snaps and led the Raiders backfield with 25 carries for 83 yards, while Jeanty played a season-low 40% of snaps with only five touches. After the game, Klint Kubiak indicated this was not a one-game punishment but a sign of things to come. The source suggests Washington could earn the majority of early-down carries going forward, moving Jeanty down to low-end RB2/high-end RB3 range and Washington not far behind.
