Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Much more effective as receiver
Ashton Jeanty rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in all eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Las Vegas Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.The Rams stonewalled Jeanty on the ground, but the 2025 first-round pick was highly effective as a receiver. Jeanty led the Raiders in receptions and tied for second in targets, and his 15-yard grab came when the running back ran past Kamren Curl down the right sideline early in the fourth quarter. Jeanty has been under 30 rushing yards in three straight games, but he's up to a 34-312-3 receiving line on 44 targets going into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Held in check on ground Sunday
Ashton Jeanty rushed 10 times for 22 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 36 yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.Jeanty's inefficient rushing line underscores how Buffalo's stout run defense essentially shut him down, but the 2025 first-round pick did manage to record a one-yard touchdown run, his first of the season, with 4:27 remaining in the first quarter. The Bills had also opened up a 10-point lead going into the final period, so Jeanty lost out on some work to Mike Washington as the Raiders went to more of a pass-centric approach. Jeanty has now been under 30 rushing yards in two straight games, but his work as a receiver helps prop up his fantasy floor overall. Jeanty has collected 313 rushing yards and 251 receiving yards along with three total touchdowns going into a Week 7 home matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Practices fully Wednesday
Ashton Jeanty (foot) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.Jeanty was listed with both ankle and foot injuries last week, but it appears the former is no longer an issue, as only the latter accompanied his name on the first injury report the Las Vegas Raiders released this week. Head coach Klint Kubiak said earlier Wednesday that Jeanty is improving and will not be rested, and with a full practice under his belt there is little reason to believe otherwise.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Improving, won't be rested due to injury
Head coach Klint Kubiak said Wednesday that Ashton Jeanty is "starting to feel a lot better physically," and the Las Vegas Raiders have had no discussions of resting him, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports. "I'm excited about giving him even more reps in practice and more full-speed reps," Kubiak said.After going down as a limited participant and non-participant in the Raiders' final two Week 5 practices due to ankle and foot injuries before being listed questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jeanty was cleared to play after a nine-minute pregame workout and discussion with team trainers and coaches leading up to the contest, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. However, Jeanty turned in an underwhelming performance in the Raiders' eventual 45-17 loss, carrying 10 times for 27 yards to go with three catches for 50 yards on six targets. Though Graziano relays that the Raiders have internally discussed giving Jeanty a week off to heal at some point during the season, Kubiak pushed back on that notion Wednesday. Kubiak's comments indicate that Jeanty emerged from Sunday's game healthy and is ready to increase his involvement in practice this week Raiders prepare for a matchup with the Bills.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Held in check in loss to Pats
Ashton Jeanty carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards and caught three of six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to New England.A 31-yard catch in the fourth quarter salvaged Jeanty's day to some extent, but he wasn't able to cash in the red-zone opportunity he created as Dylan Laube instead ran in a two-yard score. Jeanty's rushing yards total was a season low, and he's still looking for his first rushing TD while averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, keeping his fantasy value afloat with a 22-215-2 line on 30 targets through five games. He'll look for more success on the ground in Week 6 against what has been a vulnerable Bills run defense.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Will play Sunday
Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at New England after a pregame workout.Jeanty's status was dependent on his pregame workout, and the second-year back has apparently shown enough to get clearance despite missing Friday's practice entirely. He'll be taking on a New England rushing defense that currently sits in the middle of the pack in terms of yards on the ground allowed per game (104.0). Should Jeanty's plantar fasciitis flare up during the game or force any limitations, Mike Washington would be the next man up.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: May play Sunday
Ashton Jeanty (ankle/foot) is hopeful to play Sunday at New England, but he'll go through a pregame workout before a final determination is made, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Jeanty opened Week 5 prep with a full practice and listed with only an ankle injury, but a foot issue was added Thursday when he was limited, and he capped the week Friday with no activity before going down as questionable to play. Rapoport reports that Jeanty is dealing with a flareup of plantar fasciitis, and how he feels following on-field work Sunday morning will determine his active or inactive status about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Mike Washington is on hand for an expanded role if Jeanty is inhibited or sidelined.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Questionable for Sunday
Ashton Jeanty (ankle/foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, with Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak saying Friday that the running back will "do his best to go,"Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.With Jeanty trending down from full participation Wednesday to limited work Thursday before missing Friday's practice, his availability remains up in the air heading into the weekend.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Not spotted at practice Friday
Ashton Jeanty (ankle/foot) is not on the field during Friday's media viewing period of practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.Jeanty opened the week as a full participant, listed with an ankle injury like he has been all season. He then dropped to limited participation Thursday, with the injury report listing 'foot/ankle' instead of just 'ankle'. A potential absence from Friday's practice casts further doubt upon Jeanty's Week 5 availability, making Mike Washington a must-add in any leagues where he isn't already rostered. The rookie could be tasked with a large workload if Jeanty doesn't play Sunday at New England.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Limited by pair of injuries Thursday
Ashton Jeanty was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to ankle and foot injuries, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.The Las Vegas Raiders listed Jeanty with the ankle issue on their initial Week 5 injury report posted Wednesday, when the running back turned in a full practice. Not only did he take a step back in activity Thursday, but he's also nursing a foot injury in addition to the ankle concern. While the Raiders haven't yet indicated that Jeanty's availability for Sunday's game against the Patriots is in peril, fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on his practice activity Friday.
