Outlook Ashton Jeanty
Dynamic Dual-Threat Lead Ready to Deliver RB1 Value After Late-Summer Dip
Ashton Jeanty enters his second NFL season commanding the Raiders' backfield under coordinator Klint Kubiak. After handling 283 carries and drawing 81 targets as a rookie, he remains the focal point on the ground and through the air. While Mike Washington Jr. will rotate in, Jeanty clearly leads this backfield.
A late-August ankle sprain triggered temporary market hesitation, sending his ADP tumbling from a top-10 draft cost down to the mid-second round. With team brass voicing strong optimism for Week 1, this dip creates an ideal value opportunity in full-PPR drafts rather than a falling knife.
Our projections forecast a massive workload with 285 carries for 1,165 yards and 11 scores, alongside 54 catches for 400 yards. Totaling 278 projected fantasy points, Jeanty offers bankable RB1 output whenever he is on the field.

Outlook Mike Washington
Explosive Rookie Emerges as Las Vegas' Premier High-Upside Stash
Mike Washington Jr. turned heads this preseason, displaying elite burst and forcing his way into the Raiders' offensive plans. Operating as the primary backup behind rookie starter Ashton Jeanty, Washington has the firm backing of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who championed him as a seamless scheme fit.
Fantasy drafters took note of his electric August. After floating near pick 210 earlier in drafts, his 1.0 PPR draft cost surged towards pick 190, while his roster rate spiked to 65%. Fantasy managers recognize him as a high-upside stash rather than a falling knife, aggressively securing him late.
Our projections peg Washington for 110 carries, 425 rushing yards, and four total touchdowns, totaling 78 fantasy points. While Jeanty anchors the workload, Washington’s big-play ability and direct path to touches make him a priority late-round target with immense contingent upside.
