Raiders’ star running back Ashton Jeanty could miss the season opener after a sprained ankle suffered during practice — a major blow for a team rebuilding under new coach Klint Kubiak, who built his offense around Jeanty’s explosive rookie campaign. With Kirk Cousins at QB, the Raiders planned to lean heavily on Jeanty, but if he’s sidelined, rookie Mike Washington Jr. — a dynamic college rusher with 1,000+ yards and 13 TDs — is poised to take over. Fantasy players should consider elevating Washington’s draft value, potentially pushing him into the seventh or eighth round as a high-upside RB2. Other backs like Dare Ogunbowale and Dylan Laube are also in play, but Washington looks like the most likely beneficiary of this injury.
