From the article

Ashton Jeanty was a first-round pick in fantasy drafts last year and had a solid but unspectacular season. But the best moments from Jeanty -- his 31.8-point outing vs. the Texans in Week 16 comes to mind -- were a testament to his natural ability. The Raiders' offensive personnel, system and coaching should be dramatically improved this season, and Jeanty will benefit.

Jeanty's elite talent and Raiders' system upgrade project breakout rebound.

Jeanty was a first-round fantasy pick last year with a solid but unspectacular season, though his best moments—including a 31.8-point outing vs. the Texans in Week 16—testified to his natural ability. The Raiders' offensive personnel, system and coaching should be dramatically improved this season, benefiting Jeanty. Among players with at least 70 carries last season, Jeanty averaged 1.26 yards before contact per carry, dead last among those 80 players, making the improved infrastructure a significant upgrade.
