Yahoo Fantasy Football on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
Jeanty hasn't looked good this season and we can likely trace that back to his high ankle sprain this summer. That's caused the second-year back to be very inefficient with his carries. Jeanty is currently the RB14 in fantasy points per game on the season, despite his aforementioned struggles. If you can find a fantasy manager willing to trade equal value for Jeanty, I would make that move before everyone realizes his production is far more volatile than the final numbers suggest.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty's ankle sprain and inefficiency mask poor production; sell before volatility becomes apparent.
Jeanty hasn't looked good this season, likely due to his high ankle sprain from the summer. Unlike the Cardinals with Jeremiyah Love, the Raiders haven't given him time off to rest and recover, causing him to be very inefficient with his carries: 27 rushing yards on 10 attempts in Week 5, 22 yards on 10 chances in Week 6, and 15 yards on eight rushes in Week 7. His fantasy point totals (currently RB14 in points per game) are propped up by touchdowns and receiving yards, masking his underlying inefficiency. Rookie Mike Washington Jr. is performing at a higher rate in the same offense, and it's not out of the question that Klint Kubiak gives Washington increased touches. With the Raiders' bye not until Week 13, Jeanty's health is unlikely to improve significantly soon. Boone recommends selling Jeanty before everyone realizes his production is far more volatile than the final numbers suggest.
