Raiders Running Back Ashton Jeanty Set to Shine in Week 14, Odds Say So Too
As the NFL enters its final stretch of games this season, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is emerging as a top play for the week. With his team facing a challenging schedule and struggling pass protection, Jeanty's role in the passing game has expanded significantly.
Geno Smith, the quarterback who calls plays for Jeanty, has been under siege by opposing pass rushers over the past few weeks. This increased pressure on Smith has led to more opportunities for Jeanty, a trend that has become all too familiar this season. Since the Raiders traded wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, Jeanty has consistently seen his target share increase.
The numbers back up Jeanty's growing importance in the Raiders' offense. Over his last three games, he has recorded six receptions, eight receptions, and six receptions, respectively. Those totals are nothing short of impressive for a running back who had just eight receptions all season before the Meyers trade.
Now, when looking at this week's props, Jeanty is set to have another big day in the passing game against the Kansas City Chiefs. With odds of +116 on FanDuel, there is no shortage of value in taking Jeanty to record five or more receptions.
Bills Tight End Dalton Kincaid Set for Big Day Against Cincinnati
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has been in a bit of a wait-and-see situation as the team navigates injuries. After returning from his Week 10 absence, Kincaid is poised to make a big impact against the Cincinnati Bengals.
A Bengals defense that has struggled mightily against tight ends this season presents an enticing opportunity for Kincaid. This trend has been evident in recent weeks, with opposing tight ends averaging over seven targets and nearly six receptions per game.
Josh Allen's reliance on his tight end when he's healthy also points to a big day for Kincaid. With the game total set at 54.5, there is no shortage of value in taking Kincaid to have four or more receptions against a team that has struggled defending tight ends.
While there are risks involved with playing an injured player, Kincaid's potential for major yardage and touchdowns make him a compelling bet this week.

. But for real though, he's gotta keep it up if he wants to stay in the mix for those fantasy points.
. Just hope he can stay healthy and get the snaps...
, I gotta say... Geno Smith getting smashed by pass rushers is basically begging the Raiders to use their running backs more in the passing game 
. Like, have they not seen this happening before? 
The numbers are definitely looking good for Jeanty though! He's been on fire lately and if he can keep that up... watch out Kansas City Chiefs defense 
. And Dalton Kincaid seems like a solid bet too, Bengals' defense has been shaky against tight ends all season 
.
and Ashton Jeanty is getting all these targets because Geno Smith can't escape the pass rush lol! But seriously, it's like Jeanty has finally found his groove after that trade with Meyers. And now he's got good odds to hit 5+ receptions... I'm thinking of putting a small bet on him 
. He's definitely got some potential for a big day against the Chiefs, and +116 on FanDuel seems like a pretty good bet 
.
. They're already being asked to take on more responsibilities in school and it's hard not to worry that they won't be ready 
. But I guess that's just part of growing up, right? 
. He's got the opportunity to shine and I love that his coach is giving him more time in the passing game. Fingers crossed he can make some big plays for the Raiders!
