![Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty appears to have been DEMOTED in the RB rotation behind rookie Mike Washington Jr., and he said he was informed by the coaching staff that he'd get fewer carries before today's game vs. Jets 🔻
Jeanty only received 2 carries for 9 yards with 3 receptions for 64 yards, while Washington Jr. got 25 carries in the win over New York.
When asked about his low usage rate, Jeanty said it was "communicated" to him before Week 8 that he was going to have a reduced role, but he only cares about winning.
“We won. It doesn't matter how I feel about how [many] times I get the ball. Whatever it takes for the team to win, I just want to win. That's all," Jeanty said postgame.](https://scontent-sjc3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/883641620_18639944881047448_3559914822165206027_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p1179x1179_tt6&_nc_cat=105&ig_cache_key=NDAyMTA4MzYwMTM0ODE4MzE1MA%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkZFRUQueHBpZHMuMTYwMC5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=ZE8IvJfhTBYQ7kNvwHArYTC&_nc_oc=Adqvt5zrbFJ-TIzeWoLHp0pM1bagcS_HtjQtQ23_ZcB_h0RvZJG5Z0Xi0biitLRmOEltSCUgSS9-KxXC_b4A22u-&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=RnxDGMX7-ag_9Hib0KydNw&_nc_ss=70580&oh=00_AQStWyCGCfz0wUEc9EVLS_GRrSyb55PmD-s6RdB1A26D5Q&oe=6AF2925D)
9 hours agoJeanty is averaging like 2.4 ypc, he looks absolutely terrible. Sorry to say it but he's looking like another wasted 1st round draft pick!
16 hours agoThey need to move AJ to the slot receiver position or even play both in the same backfield and AJ go in motion for passes to keep the defense off balance. 👍🏼🔥
a day agoPlayers get reduced roles when most got parlays on them look at Pickens it’s easier than letting them fake gameplay same with NBA they can have back to back games but nun of the same players play every night
