Raiders HC Klint Kubiak likened Ashton Jeanty’s potential workload to Christian McCaffery’s during OTAs, adding that great backs don’t want to come off the field.
With Jeanty getting outsnapped by Mike Washington Jr. yesterday, asked if he thinks this is now more of a shared backfield.
“Your 11, whether you’re playing really well or not playing well at all, it’s always going to change a little bit.”
Fantasy Impact:
Jeanty got just two carries and played on 39% of snaps while Washington jumped to 60% of snaps and had 25 carries for 83 yards. Jeanty was still a factor in the passing game but only caught three balls for 64 yards. Unfortunately, despite Washington getting work previous weeks, no one really saw this total switch coming in Week 8. It remains to be seen if this was just a one-week thing or if the Raiders are giving Washington a chance to carry the load, leaving Jeanty as more of a change of pace or third down back.
