Ashton Jeanty or TreVeyon Henderson: Who Should You Start?

Jeanty's workload gap, not his matchup, is what separates these two backs

Jeanty is a true bell-cow at 78% of snaps, and that role — not the softness of Miami's front — is why he clears Henderson so comfortably. Henderson is still timesharing with Stevenson in New England, and a 9% target share says he's the change-of-pace piece, not the lead back his rookie big plays suggest. Both carry the same questionable tag, but the Raiders' own language around Jeanty's recovery reads like a team easing him back into full usage, not managing a real limitation. The rank gap between RB11 and RB26 is exactly what it looks like here — a workload gap, not projection noise.

What flips it: A setback report on Jeanty's recovery, or a Stevenson absence that hands Henderson the full workload.
