The full backfield depth chart
Every running back and fullback assigned to Las Vegas Raiders, including reserve and practice-squad entries. Chart order and replacement opportunity answer different questions: a passing-down specialist can sit ahead of the back most likely to inherit the carries.
Source: nflverse depth-chart feed · Feed dated Thu, Sep 10, 8:01 AM EDT. Equal ranks are ties. Unlisted backs are not assigned an invented rank. FB ranks are separate from RB ranks.
Every back: role, upside and obstacles
The player assessments below explain the skills that could earn work and the assignments that might go to someone else. Role labels describe scouting assessments; they are not confirmed snap shares. “Three-down” means a skill set for rushing and passing situations, not a guarantee of every down.
RB1 · Three-down back
Ashton Jeanty
Age 22 · 2 years of NFL experience · active
Three-down outlook: Capable in saved assessmentPass protection: Positive assessment
Saved scouting assessment — source review needed
Elite contact-balance runner and legitimate receiving threat who is the entire identity of Las Vegas' offense. True three-down workhorse; the only concern is the low ankle sprain carried into Week 1.
Scouting assessment saved Thu, Sep 10, 5:29 PM EDT. Underlying citations lack publication dates; treat team-role and injury statements as historical notes pending review.
Path to more work
He is the starter in the dated board above. For fantasy purposes, the question is how much of the rushing and passing work he keeps when the whole room is available.
Why the work could go elsewhere
A starter can still lose third downs, short-yardage work or change-of-pace touches to specialists. His role assessment describes the skill set, not a guarantee that every assignment stays with him.
The saved assessment credits his pass protection, which can help a back earn passing-down trust. It does not guarantee a three-down assignment.
Draft investment
2025 · Round 1 · Pick 6
Drafted by LV; not necessarily his current team.
Early-round investment is part of his prospect pedigree and may support a chance to develop. It does not guarantee the next workload, especially after a team change.
Draft record sourceWhat the recorded workload tells us
In 2025, his 17 recorded games include 266 carries and 55 receptions on 73 targets. He has recorded work both on the ground and in the passing game; those totals alone do not establish pass-protection ability or a three-down role.
Confirm the latest game-day designation. General active-roster status does not certify that he will dress or receive work.

Three-down outlook: Not establishedPass protection: Not established
Saved scouting assessment — source review needed
Rookie who is the direct beneficiary of Jeanty's ankle — the Raiders said he would be counted on heavily until Jeanty returns. Early-down runner with no NFL sample; Las Vegas would use a committee rather than name him a bell cow.
Scouting assessment saved Thu, Sep 10, 5:29 PM EDT. Underlying citations lack publication dates; treat team-role and injury statements as historical notes pending review.
Path to more work
The dated board selects him as the preferred replacement behind Ashton Jeanty. That is a projection of the replacement role, not a promise that he gets every touch.
Ahead on the feed’s RB chart: Ashton Jeanty. Their roles and availability shape how much work could open up.
Why the work could go elsewhere
An early-down profile offers a path to carries between the tackles. A receiving or protection specialist could still handle third downs, limiting a full-workload takeover.
Pass protection has not been established in the saved assessment. Missing information is not evidence that he cannot do it.
Draft investment
1975 · Round 3 · Pick 53
Drafted by BAL; not necessarily his current team.
Day-two draft investment adds prospect context. His current role, availability and competition still decide whether he gets the next opportunity.
Draft record sourceWhat the recorded workload tells us
No recorded NFL regular-season production is available in the two seasons shown. That is an evidence gap, not a zero or a judgment of his ability.
Confirm the latest game-day designation. General active-roster status does not certify that he will dress or receive work.

Three-down outlook: Not establishedPass protection: Positive assessment
Saved scouting assessment — source review needed
Third-down and special-teams back whose value is as a receiver out of the backfield and a returner. In line for more offensive snaps with Jeanty limited, but never a between-the-tackles solution.
Scouting assessment saved Thu, Sep 10, 5:29 PM EDT. Underlying citations lack publication dates; treat team-role and injury statements as historical notes pending review.
Path to more work
His path begins with an opening behind Ashton Jeanty. The dated board currently prefers Mike Washington Jr. for the lead replacement role. Being next on a depth chart would not by itself guarantee the carries, third downs and goal-line work.
Ahead on the feed’s RB chart: Ashton Jeanty, Mike Washington Jr.. Their roles and availability shape how much work could open up.
Why the work could go elsewhere
A receiving specialist can retain passing-down work without becoming the lead runner. A bigger rushing role could go to a different teammate even if this player appears higher on the chart.
The saved assessment credits his pass protection, which can help a back earn passing-down trust. It does not guarantee a three-down assignment.
Draft investment
2024 · Round 6 · Pick 208
Drafted by LV; not necessarily his current team.
A later-round selection describes his entry point. It does not rule out a lead role; demonstrated production and a trusted assignment matter more than draft position alone.
Draft record sourceWhat the recorded workload tells us
In 2025, his 17 recorded games include 7 carries and 3 receptions on 4 targets. He has recorded work both on the ground and in the passing game; those totals alone do not establish pass-protection ability or a three-down role.

Fringe depth back on injured reserve with no meaningful NFL production. Not part of Las Vegas' contingency planning behind Jeanty.

Ahead on the feed’s RB chart: Ashton Jeanty, Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube. Their roles and availability shape how much work could open up.
Why the work could go elsewhere
A clear role assessment is not available. Rushing experience, receiving usage and protection responsibilities need checking before treating him as a direct replacement.
Pass protection has not been established in the saved assessment. Missing information is not evidence that he cannot do it.

2024 · Undrafted
He entered without draft investment. That says how he arrived, not what he can become; current usage and coaching trust carry more weight now.
Draft record sourceWhat the recorded workload tells us
No recorded NFL regular-season production is available in the two seasons shown. That is an evidence gap, not a zero or a judgment of his ability.
His roster feed status is injured reserve. He needs the relevant roster or availability change before this becomes an immediate pickup opportunity.

Saved scouting assessment — source review needed
Hybrid fullback/tight end used as a blocker, short-area receiver and special-teamer — part of the versatility Las Vegas built around Jeanty. Not a ball-carrier of consequence.

His path begins with an opening behind Ashton Jeanty. The dated board currently prefers Mike Washington Jr. for the lead replacement role. Being next on a depth chart would not by itself guarantee the carries, third downs and goal-line work.
Why the work could go elsewhere
A fullback’s place on the chart represents a different assignment from the running-back queue. Blocking or situational touches do not make him the next lead runner when an RB is absent.
The saved assessment credits his pass protection, which can help a back earn passing-down trust. It does not guarantee a three-down assignment.

A later-round selection describes his entry point. It does not rule out a lead role; demonstrated production and a trusted assignment matter more than draft position alone.
Draft record sourceWhat the recorded workload tells us
In 2025, his 14 recorded games include 15 carries and 3 receptions on 4 targets. He has recorded work both on the ground and in the passing game; those totals alone do not establish pass-protection ability or a three-down role.

Dare Ogunbowale
Age 32 · 9 years of NFL experience · practice squad
Three-down outlook: Not establishedPass protection: Not established
Dare Ogunbowale is an eight-year veteran listed by LV at RB, from Wisconsin. The official roster lists him at 5-10 and 205 pounds.
Research checked Fri, Sep 11, 12:01 PM EDT. Undated biographies support background facts, not a current workload promise.
Path to more work
A practice-squad place keeps him available for development and possible elevation. Any offensive work would depend on an active-roster opening and a team decision to use him in the backfield.
Why the work could go elsewhere
The official roster verifies his current reserve placement and basic background but does not establish backfield rank, pass protection, a three-down role or a projected touch share.
Pass protection has not been established in the saved assessment. Missing information is not evidence that he cannot do it.
