The Las Vegas Raiders will host the Denver Broncos in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Ashton Jeanty.

Jeanty is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Jeanty in Week 14?
Not all high-pedigree players are capable of putting an entire offense on their shoulders from the jump.
Personally, I haven’t adjusted my career expectation for Ashton Jeanty this season: he simply has no help, and I hope that we see that change in short order.
There’s simply no reason that a player like this doesn’t have a 15+ yard rush since September and doesn’t have a qw-yard touch in three of his past four. He has three straight games with negative yards per carry before contact and that brings him to under half-a-yard before contact for the season (86.3% of his rushing yards come after being touched, league RB average: 70.3%).
Roster building malpractice.
The struggles in that regard forced the Raiders to explore creative ways to get him the rock, proving to us in the process that he can be one of these offensive focal points (6+ receptions in three straight after minimal usage in that vein prior).
Jeanty is doing enough to be startable in all formats, but you drafted him for so much more. I’d recommend taking your lumps and not holding it against the future star.
