Ashton Jeanty is getting more opportunities to run effectively for the Las Vegas Raiders, following a previous season in which he often faced limited openings and heavy defensive attention. Multiple reports describe his earlier struggles as a mix of fewer favorable gaps and more defenders meeting him quickly at or near the line of scrimmage.
The current coverage frames the change as an adjustment that gives him “room to shine,” suggesting the offense is being structured to create more space for his runs. While both outlets focus on Jeanty’s improved situation, the available excerpts emphasize different aspects of the same underlying theme: last season he needed more help to make plays, and now the Raiders’ approach is producing more consistent chances for him to advance the ball.
Overall, the reporting agrees that the main difference is not Jeanty’s effort but the environment around his runs—more space, different looks, and fewer situations where he must do everything alone just to reach the line of scrimmage.
