It seems inconceivable that a running back drafted sixth overall in 2025 would be relegated to a passing-down role less than halfway through his second NFL season, but that appears to be the fate of the Raiders' Ashton Jeanty. Averaging 3.1 yards per carry going into Week 8, Jeanty was replaced by rookie fourth-round pick Mike Washington Jr. on early downs.
