The Las Vegas Raiders (1-4) will host the Tennessee Titans (1-4) in Week 6. 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 6?
Jeanty is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Ashton Jeanty in Week 6?
The Raiders continue to look like a mess, but at least they are looking like a fantasy-friendly mess.
“Friendly” might be an exaggeration, but Ashton Jeanty saw just 6.5% of the targets in September, a number that spiked to a team-high 19.4% against the Colts.
Yes, Brock Bowers was inactive and Jakobi Meyers held in check. I get it. We saw Jeanty thrive two years ago as a pass catcher in college, and it was good to finally get proof of concept at the professional level.
It’ll be interesting to see if the rookie RB is as featured as he was on Sunday (seven touches on the opening drive) when Bowers returns. I think it’s more fact than fiction on that front, but if you’re not as sold and cash in this chip after two impressive performances, I wouldn’t blame you.
J.K. Dobbins has scored in four of five weeks and could be overvalued by some managers in your league after their big win; there might be a package worth entertaining.
