Ashton Jeanty Sees Diminished Role as Trade Speculation Mounts

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty saw his usage plummet to just two carries for nine yards in Week 8 against the Jets, getting Wally Pipped by rookie Mike Washington Jr. Selected sixth overall in 2025, Jeanty has struggled in the NFL with a 3.5 yards per carry average and minimal yardage after contact. With head coach Klint Kubiak favoring Washington, trade rumors are swirling around Jeanty as potential suitors like the Vikings, Patriots, and Jaguars eye backfield help.
