The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 10. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Jeanty in Week 10?
Ashton Jeanty’s usage in the pass game (4+ targets in three of his past four games) is what we begged for early in the season and is helping him overcome picking up less than two feet per carry before contact this season.
I don’t care how talented you believe the rookie to be; the rushing efficiency is unlikely to rebound as long as this offensive line and Geno Smith continue to struggle. The touchdown reception last week showcased the wiggle that we assumed we’d see more of this season, but Jeanty can’t find open space when handed the ball, and that’s not going to change.
The sixth overall pick has been held under 45 rushing yards in consecutive games, four times this season, and is at risk of a similar fate this week. The Broncos have been vulnerable at times to power run games, but that’s not exactly a word I’d use to describe this attack.
I’ve got Jeanty ranked as a strong RB2 this week, thinking that we see something similar to last week against the Jags: 12-15 carries with limited efficiency along with 4-6 targets.
