load the box and make Kirk prove he can beat you over the top. It helped that the game was already pretty much over, but the Raiders offense did stall in the fourth quarter last week when the Dolphins started blitzing and selling out to stop the run.

NeutralMatchup

Jeanty vulnerable to loaded boxes; negative runs when Dolphins blitzed in Week 1.

Jeanty's effectiveness depends heavily on offensive line performance and defensive approach; when the Dolphins blitzed and sold out to stop the run in Week 1, the Raiders offense stalled in the fourth quarter and Jeanty had no breathing room with negative runs. The Chargers' defensive strategy should load the box and force Kirk Cousins to beat them over the top, which could limit Jeanty's production if the offensive line struggles against interior pressure.
