Ever since Josh Jacobs left the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of the 2024 NFL season, the team has been unable to figure out the equation at running back. For the second year in a row, the Raiders have the worst rushing attack in the league by an embarrassingly wide margin.
Last year, they miscalculated in thinking that they could recreate Jacobs in the aggregate with Zamir White and Alexander Mattison. They were brutally wrong. This year, star rookie Ashton Jeanty has looked great, but he's gotten zero help from his offensive line, and he's been utilized far too sparingly.
