Fantasy Football Film Review: 5 things that stood out to Hayden Winks from Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty’s Week 5 performance raised significant concerns after film review revealed persistent issues in both his rushing and receiving game. On the ground, Jeanty struggled with quick direction changes and hole recognition, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on inside zone and power runs—a figure dragged down by his tendency to overcommit and miss open lanes.

His 0.6 yards before contact ranked among the league’s worst, underscoring a lack of burst that extends beyond offensive line play. As a receiver, Jeanty’s drop rate, particularly on intermediate passes from Kirk Cousins, became a liability, prompting the Raiders to limit his snaps (53% in the first half) and reassess his role beyond basic option routes.

Meanwhile, fellow back Jeremiyah Love returned from a Week 4 ankle sprain but played sparingly in the second half despite appearing healthy in practice, suggesting lingering caution about his durability after a rough box-score outing the prior week.
