The Las Vegas Raiders will host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. 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.
Is Ashton Jeanty Playing in Week 11?
Jeanty is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jeanty in Week 11?
The rushing volume has been there from the jump, and his target share is trending toward what it should have been all along (6.5% through Week 4, but 15.8% since), but the supporting cast makes it hard to get too excited about a player in Ashton Jeanty, whom we view as a potentially generational RB.
The average NFL running back gets hit behind the line of scrimmage roughly 25% of the time. Jeanty’s rate sits at 32.2% through 10 weeks, and with Geno Smith unable to back defenses off the line of scrimmage, why would we expect that to change?
Jeanty has found the end zone in three of his past four games thanks to his raw talent, but don’t take those fantasy point totals as an excuse to label this rookie as a safe option.
Vegas offers as low an offensive floor as any team in the NFL. This matchup is golden, and if/when an elite talent like this has a big game in a primetime spot, the reflex is to overreact.
I’m getting ahead of that. The upside in anything but elite matchups is capped, and after this week, there’s not another above-average spot until after Christmas for the Raider run game.
