Ashton Jeanty sees reduced carries as Raiders top Jets in Week 8

In a competitive game on November 1, 2026, the Las Vegas Raiders edged the New York Jets 38-33, but running back Ashton Jeanty had a diminished role. Jeanty carried the ball just twice and caught three passes for a total of five touches, marking the fewest of his career. This season, Jeanty's carries have steadily decreased following a strong Week 1 performance. In the latest game, Mike Washington Jr. earned a career-high in snaps and started over Jeanty for the first time this season. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak stated that Jeanty remains an important part of the offense, despite the reduced workload. Jeanty acknowledged a need to adapt but did not speculate on whether recent comments made about opposing defenders affected his usage.
