Getty Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty. Ashton Jeanty is one of the most hyped running backs to come into the NFL in recent years. With running backs typically having success as rookies, many aren’t going to be patient with him. The Las Vegas Raiders beat the New England Patriots 20-13 in Week 1, but Jeanty had a poor game, averaging 2.0 yards a carry. The offensive line didn’t do him many favors, but the team would like to see more from the highest-drafted running back since Saquon Barkley .
