Kubiak: Jeanty (ankle) ‘still on the mend’

Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

Player Stats

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said Ashton Jeanty is “still on the mend” as he recovers from his ankle injury.

Funny enough, it’s the same line Kubiak provided to reporters on Tuesday when asked about the health of his RB1. Kubiak did say that the Raiders were “counting on (Jeanty)” for Week 1, but that’s hardly a sign that the Raiders expect him to suit up. With teams not being required to release official injury reports until the week leading up to the first game of the season, it’s possible that we won’t have a clear answer regarding Jeanty and his availability until the Raiders begin preparing for Week 1’s game against the Dolphins. In the event Jeanty can’t go, rookie Mike Washington is expected to see a substantial role after a solid preseason in which he rushed 23 times for 168 yards while averaging an impressive 7.3 YPC. Washington is worth a draft pick in all formats right now, especially with Jeanty’s status up in the air.

Mike Washington rushed nine times for 18 yards in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs.

The Raiders have struggled on the ground for most of the season, and that didn’t change in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. Washington’s biggest gain came on an 11-yard run, as he averaged less than 1.0 YPC on his other eight carries. Washington remains the top Raiders back to hold in the event of an injury to Ashton Jeanty, but he has no stand alone fantasy value at this time.
Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty rushed 15 times for 58 yards in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, adding six receptions for 68 additional yards.

Jeanty was bottled up on the ground for most of the day. A 19-yard run he ripped off in the fourth quarter accounted for 32.8 percent of his yards on the ground, but his work in the passing game was enough to provide a solid day for fantasy managers. Jeanty’s six receptions tied a season-high for the second-year receiver, while his eight targets set a new season-high and tied a career-high he set last season. Jeanty briefly exited this game with what appeared to be a leg/ankle injury, but returned on the following drive after being evaluated. He hasn’t found the end zone since Week 1, but he remains a strong volume play heading into Week 5 against the Patriots. Jeanty’s work as a receiver is keeping in the RB1 ranks despite his struggles on the ground over the last three weeks.

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty returned to the field in the fourth quarter of Week 4’s game against the Chiefs.

Jeanty exited late in the third quarter with what appeared to be a right leg injury, but was back on the field to take a handoff on the next possession. With nearly a full quarter of play left in the game, we’ll see if Jeanty can finish this one out as the Raiders look to push their record to 4-0 for the season.

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty exited in the third quarter of Week 4’s game against the Chiefs.

We’re waiting for an official diagnosis on this, but Jeanty appeared to have his leg rolled up on by a defender while being tackled in the backfield. Jeanty was seen walking gingerly to the field after going down and was tended to by trainers. Rookie Mike Washington will takeover in Jeanty’s absence.

LV Running Back

Mike Washington rushed five times for 54 yards and one touchdown in the Raiders’ Week 3 win over the Saints.

Washington looks spry and powerful, as usual, but remains limited to a small workload despite Ashton Jeanty getting his ankles checked early in the game. Washington scored on the Raiders’ sixth drive on a run up the middle. Initially, it looked like the Saints had him bottled up when he met the linebackers just beyond the line, but Washington kept his legs moving and exploded out to the right and took off down the sideline and into the end zone. The officials initially ruled Washington out of bounds inside the Saints’ one-yard line, but Raiders coach Klint Kubiak challenged the spot and won. Touchdown. Washington remains an elite bench stash and touchdown-dependent FLEX in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty rushed 19 times for 56 yards in the Raiders’ Week 3 win over the Saints, adding three receptions for 37 yards.

Jeanty touched the ball four times on the Raiders’ opening drive before visiting with Raiders trainers while the Saints carried out their second possession. The medical staff taped both of Jeanty’s ankles and had him ready to go before the Raiders got the ball back. He came up grimacing after his ensuing carry, but remained active throughout all four quarters and totaled 21 touches on the day. He earned an end zone target on a wheel route early on, but the ball was overthrown. Jeanty might show up on the injury report this week, but he should be ready for an RB1-worthy workload against the Chiefs by the end of the week.

LV Running Back

Mike Washington Jr. rushed three times for seven yards in the Raiders’ Week 2 win over the Chargers.

Washington saw two of his carries and his lone target in the fourth quarter as the Raiders attempted to bleed the clock. Ashton Jeanty also appeared to get shaken up late in the game, putting Washington on the field for a few extra snaps. Jeanty eventually returned to the game even after the contest was all but decided, so it’s safe to say he’s okay. Washington remains a distant RB2 for the Raiders headed into Week 3.
Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty rushed 21 times for 48 yards in the Raiders’ Week 2 win over the Chargers, adding four catches for 15 yards.

Jeanty was inefficient on all fronts, averaging 2.3 yards per carry and 2.1 yards per target. That number was dragged down by three drops on the day. Jeanty also failed to punch in a pair of goal line carries in the first quarter, resulting in a turnover on downs. Things seemingly went from bad to worse when Jeanty appeared to get injured late in the fourth quarter, but the Raiders ultimately sent him back onto the field a few plays later. He may pop up on the injury report later this week, but it doesn’t look like a major issue. Fantasy managers won’t be pleased with the box score, but the good news is that Jeanty was a workhorse on the ground and through the air. Despite the quiet day, he will remain in the RB1 mix when the Raiders take on the Saints next week.
Mike Washington Jr.

LV Running Back

Mike Washington rushed seven times for 41 yards in the Raiders’ Week 1 win over the Dolphins.

Washington briefly subbed in on the first drive, but did not touch the ball until the second. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak got him heavily involved early on the third drive, dialing up three consecutive runs, which Washington efficiently turned into 32 yards, but things cooled off after that. The rookie looks just as powerful and explosive as he did in the preseason, and he remains an elite bench stash, but Washington’s standalone FLEX viability is shaky. He does not need to be in fantasy lineups against the Chargers next week.
Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty rushed 23 times for 102 yards in the Raiders’ Week 1 win over the Dolphins, adding six receptions for 45 yards and two touchdowns.

Any lingering concerns over Jeanty’s ankle injury can be put to rest. The second-year running back served as the Raiders’ offensive focal point from start to finish, regularly shaking defenders and plowing through contact. Jeanty scored two touchdowns on routes run out of the backfield, beating Dolphins rookie CB Chris Johnson with a cut on the first and barreling through a would-be tackler as he entered the end zone on the second. His six catches tie for a team-high. Jeanty is a locked-in RB1 against the Chargers next week.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Tank Bigsby will have core muscle surgery and be placed on injured reserve.

Rapoport reports there are hopes that Bigsby will be back “in six weeks or shorter.” The 24-year-old back will be required to miss at least four games now that he’s headed for an IR stint. With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) also at risk of missing at least one game, third-string RB Will Shipley could be in line for a busy day in Week 5 against the Jaguars. Shipley rushed six times for 23 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Rams, but could be a sneaky option in PPR leagues given his pass-catching profile during his days at Clemson when he caught 85 passes over three seasons.

McVay said he expects Donald to practice this week and hopefully play when the Rams take on the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 5. Donald has totaled four tackles in his first two games with the Rams this season and has yet to record a sack in 68 defensive snaps. The Rams will release their first injury report on Thursday, so we’ll get a better sense of Donald’s status then.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said the team is taking it “one day at a time” with Caleb Douglas’ ankle injury.

It’s hard to know what to make of this, but Douglas has missed back-to-back games with his injury and could be at risk of missing a third straight game if he can’t get on the practice field ahead of Week 5’s game against the Bengals. Douglas did not practice at all last week, so even getting on the field in a limited capacity would be an improvement. His name will be one to keep an eye on when the Dolphins release their first injury report on Wednesday.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he is “hopeful” Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) will be able to play in Week 6 against the Eagles.

Phillips went down with a hamstring injury late in Sunday’s game against the Lions and didn’t return to the field. For a player with Phillips’ injury history, there were immediate concerns regarding the severity of the injury, but with a Week 5 bye on tap, the hope is Phillips won’t miss much time, if any. Phillips has totaled two sacks in his first four games of the season. In addition to Phillips, the team is also hopeful that OT Monroe Freeling (knee) will be able to return in Week 6.

Greenard was downgraded from questionable return to doubtful during last week’s loss to the Rams, but it sounds like he’ll have a chance to suit up in Week 5 against the Jaguars if he’s able to log a few days of practice this week. Greenard missed the first two games of this season due to an oblique injury and has totaled just one tackle on the year.

Barkley went down early in Sunday’s loss to the Rams and did not return to the game. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said earlier on Monday that Barkley’s injury “does not seem to be overly serious,” but with the Eagles taking on the Jaguars in London next week, it wouldn’t be surprising if he missed at least one game. Backup Tank Bigsby led the Eagles with 55 rushing yards on 14 carries and could be a viable RB2 if Barkley is out.
