Yahoo Fantasy Football on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
The second-year running back managed just 22 yards on 10 carries this week after hitting just 27 on 10 carries last week. And this was a Buffalo defense that had been among the softest against running backs all season. Jeanty's averaged fewer than 4.0 yards per carry in every single game since Week 2 and fewer than 3.0 in four of his last five games.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty's 22-yard game and sub-4.0 YPC trend signal low-end RB2 ceiling at best.
Jeanty has become a regular in the stock down section and keeps trending down. In Week 6 against Buffalo, a defense that had been among the softest against running backs all season, Jeanty managed just 22 yards on 10 carries after hitting just 27 on 10 carries the previous week. He's averaged fewer than 4.0 yards per carry in every single game since Week 2 and fewer than 3.0 in four of his last five games. Meanwhile, Mike Washington Jr. played 33% of the snaps but logged nine carries (to Jeanty's 10) and totaled a much more attractive 43 rushing yards (4.3 per carry). Jeanty did score a goal-line rushing touchdown and caught four passes for 36 yards, giving him 13.8 fantasy points, but his value is dwindling to just receiving work and touchdowns. This was his first rushing touchdown of the year, and he's just the RB18 in points per game since Week 2 with very little upside. He's likely to remain a low-end RB2 at best most weeks.
