Ashton Jeanty recorded 55 catches and 5 touchdown catches as a rookie; new head coach Klint Kubiak's stated offseason goal was to get the No. 6 overall pick very involved in the receiving game, and it materialized immediately in Week 1 with 2 receiving touchdowns in a win over Miami. Jeanty is just the second RB since the 1970 merger to record multiple receiving TD games within his first 20 career games, joining Bill Jones (1990), signaling sustained receiving role involvement and touchdown upside.

Jeanty tied Bijan Robinson for the No. 1 Utilization Score at RB in Week 1 with a 99, scoring 32.7 fantasy points as RB3. He dominated the Vegas backfield with 73% snap share, 70% rushing attempts, 61% route share, and 21% target share, accumulating 23 attempts and 6 targets for 156 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. Behind a revamped offensive line (Tyler Linderbaum, Kolton Miller return), Jeanty improved yards before contact (0.5 to 1.0) and yards after contact (3.1 to 3.4) compared to last season. Since 2013, 13 RBs with 65%+ rush share and 16-22% target share averaged 23.1 PPG. Jeanty upgrades to high-end RB1 territory as an every-down player with a top-three rookie prospect profile behind only Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey.

Jeanty led the Raiders' passing game with 6 receptions on 6 targets for 45 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns in Week 1, stepping up as the team's leading receiver with Brock Bowers sidelined. He also rushed for 100+ yards (his third career 100-yard game), averaging 3.43 yards after contact per attempt and forcing three missed tackles as a runner, per PFF. The offensive line improvement under Rick Dennison created plenty of holes for the running back, a significant change from his rookie season when he didn't reach 100 rushing yards until Week 4.

Jeanty looked incredible in Week 1 against Miami with no limitations on workload, handling 23 carries and six catches for 147 yards and two receiving touchdowns; he totaled 74 rushing yards after contact and scored both receiving TDs from the 13-yard line, suggesting upside in the Christian McCaffrey stratosphere; anyone who acquired him at the ankle sprain discount is positioned well, though the Chargers matchup in Week 2 will be a true test.
