Raiders Emphasizing Ashton Jeanty's Progress as Their Lead Back

Wednesday, June 3, 10:42 AM

Levi Edwards of the Las Vegas Raiders' official site writes that the Raiders have put an emphasis during offseason workouts to make sure running back Ashton Jeanty "thrives and continues to grow in his role as the lead back." The Raiders selected Jeanty with the sixth overall pick last year out of Boise State, and the 22-year-old impressed in his first year in the NFL, leading all rookie RBs in rushing yards (975). Nearly 60% of his yardage came after contact, though. "If I don't have to, I don't want to come off the field," Jeanty said. The second-year back is "doing all the right things" to ensure that he's a three-down workhorse in 2026, according to RBs coach Omar Young. New head coach Klint Kubiak has never had a true workhorse back leading his offenses, but that could change now that he has Jeanty at his disposal. With a new coaching staff in town and quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza under center, Jeanty's fantasy stock is on the rise heading into his second NFL campaign. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 8 fantasy RB for the 2026 season.

Should Dynasty Managers Be Looking to Sell High on RJ Harvey?

Saturday, June 13, 12:38 PM

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey finished his rookie season with 896 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns on 13 touches across 17 games (seven starts). Harvey was more productive as a receiver than a rusher, as he recorded 47 catches for 356 yards and five scores, but averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. He also struggled to carve out a consistent role in the Denver offense until Broncos back J.K. Dobbins went down with a season-ending foot injury in Week 10. Dobbins should be back to full health for the start of the upcoming season, and Denver also selected running back Jonah Coleman in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Harvey profiles as the primary third and passing-down back for the Broncos, but he may be hard-pressed to see much rushing work as long as Dobbins and Coleman stay healthy. Dynasty managers may want to explore selling high on Harvey ahead of a potential workload decline in 2026.
