Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice because of ankle and foot injuries, according to Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee and Underdog NFL.

What happened

Jeanty is dealing with both ankle and foot issues that limited him in Thursday’s session.

Context

Jeanty leads the Raiders’ backfield as RB1. Through four games this season, he has 73.9 PPR points, 78 carries for 264 rushing yards, 24 targets, 19 receptions, 165 receiving yards, and a 76% snap share. In Week 4, he posted 18.6 PPR points on 15 carries for 58 rushing yards plus 6 catches for 68 yards on 8 targets. Sleeper projects Jeanty for 16.0 PPR points in Week 5.

Timeline

In the Raiders’ most recent game, Kansas City defeated Las Vegas 30-27. That earlier report did not mention Jeanty’s involvement.

Depth chart

If Jeanty is limited or unable to play, Mike Washington is the next running back on the depth chart. Washington has 18.9 PPR points this season with 24 carries for 120 rushing yards and one touchdown, plus one catch for -1 yard. Connor Heyward is RB3 with 1.7 PPR points, and Dylan Laube is RB4.

What’s next

The Raiders visit the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 11 in Week 5.

Ashton Jeanty (ankle, foot) limited in practice Thursday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Jeanty’s limited practice on Thursday raises some concern, but he still has a chance to play on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday’s practice report and official game status. Jeanty remains a strong start if active, given his RB1 usage and 16.0 PPR projection. If he is ruled out or limited significantly, Mike Washington would be the next man up in the Raiders’ backfield, but Washington’s 5.3 PPR projection makes him a risky desperation flex only. Connor Heyward and Dylan Laube are not recommended fantasy options.
