News: 4 days agoJeanty rushed 15 times for 31 yards and caught six of eight targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

Spin: Jeanty continues to get minimal help from the 2-10 Raiders' overmatched offensive line. The rookie sixth overall pick is averaging 18.7 touches per game but just 3.5 yards per carry heading into a Week 14 home game against the tough Broncos defense. Other Raiders running backs combined for one carry and no targets against the Chargers, so Jeanty remains the unquestioned top option in the backfield for Vegas.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jeanty was selected by Las Vegas with the No. 6 overall pick in April's draft. He is the No. 1 fantasy prospect in this rookie class following a dominant tenure at Boise State. Incredibly, he ranked first in this class in YAC and broken tackle rate both last season and during his collegiate career. Jeanty's elite playmaking ability and a three-down skill set supply him with the upside to be the next elite NFL running back. He's positioned for a feature-back role right out of the gate and should be valued as a midrange RB1.
