Ashton Jeanty (foot) practices fully Wednesday

Key Points:

  • Raiders running back Jeanty is dealing with persistent foot and ankle injuries, including a flare-up of plantar fasciitis, but head coach Kubiak confirmed he will not be rested and is expected to play through the pain.
  • Despite his injuries, Jeanty remains a high-volume back with an average of 22 touches per game, making him a mid-range RB2 option for fantasy football, though his production has been inefficient with just 3.3 yards per carry and no rushing touchdowns this season.
  • Backup RB Mike Washington Jr. is emerging as a valuable handcuff and potential flex play, especially if Jeanty's injuries worsen; Washington has averaged five yards per carry and could see increased workload if Jeanty is sidelined.
  • Jeanty’s recent performances have been hampered by his injuries, showing limited effectiveness on the ground but contributing more in the passing game, which helps maintain his fantasy value despite struggles in rushing yards.
  • The Raiders have several key players inactive for the upcoming game against the Patriots, and Jeanty’s status remains somewhat uncertain, with limited practice participation and ongoing injury management requiring close monitoring.
