Ashton Jeanty to thrive in Klint Kubiak’s offensive system for Raiders
Summary

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is expected to excel in 2026 after a challenging rookie season under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Previously averaging 3.7 yards per carry and falling short of 1,000 rushing yards, Jeanty remains a promising player with the potential to emerge as a leading running back. Kubiak's zone-based offense could maximize Jeanty's skills, particularly in both rushing and receiving roles. If the offensive line improves and the system adapts to suit Jeanty’s strengths, he could break the 1,000-yard mark and contend for the NFL rushing title.
