Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is reportedly expected to play a significant role in the team's passing game during his second NFL season in 2026. When the Raiders selected Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft out of Boise State, there were some questions about his versatility. Last season, Jeanty proved that he still possessed the pass-catching skill set, ranking third on the team in receptions, fourth in receiving yardage and tied for second in receiving touchdowns. The prevailing thought is that Vegas' passing offense should be better this season than it was last season when Geno Smith largely struggled.
