Yahoo Fantasy Football on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
The Raiders have been pretty vague about exactly what this ankle injury is and, more importantly, what it could mean for Jeanty's workload in Week 1. How many times have we seen a player get cleared, everybody gets excited because he is active and then the game starts and he is standing on the sideline for half the snaps?
STACKED’s take
Ankle injury vagueness raises workload concerns; Washington Jr. gives Raiders flexibility.
Jeanty is dealing with an ankle injury that the Raiders have been vague about; the key concern is not whether he will be active but whether he will be ready for a normal workload in Week 1. The source worries about the common scenario where a player is cleared and active but limited on the field, standing on the sideline for half the snaps. Mike Washington Jr. has performed well in the summer and gives Las Vegas confidence as a backup option, so if Jeanty is only 80-85% healthy, the Raiders may not need to push him for 20-plus touches in Week 1. While Jeanty will likely be played if active, managers should prepare for the possibility that active status does not equal full workload.
