Riding a less-than-good 2-6 record, the Raiders became sellers at the trade deadline, shipping WR Jakobi Meyers off to the Jaguars on Tuesday. As they embark on the second half of the season with a depleted depth chart at wide receiver, they could look more towards RB Ashton Jeanty and their ground attack.
Jeanty might be front and center when the Raiders travel to Denver to play the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET and airs on Prime Video.
Let’s focus on the rookie running back and discuss some Ashton Jeanty's stats and TNF pick vs. the Broncos, plus a PrizePicks NFL pick for Jeanty.
