Jeanty may not be the RB1 option so many fantasy managers expected, but he isn't a fantasy bust. He is 14th in running back scoring because he leads the position in receptions and he boasts more receiving yards than rushing ones.

Jeanty 14th in RB scoring; leads position in receptions with 8.8 yards per catch.

Jeanty may not be the RB1 option many expected, but he is not a fantasy bust—he ranks 14th in RB scoring because he leads the position in receptions and boasts more receiving yards than rushing yards. He averages 8.8 yards per catch, which is excellent for a running back. The Raiders struggle to run block, making Jeanty an electric option as a receiver. He is leaned on heavily by Mendoza in the play-action offense and could become the first top-30 RB to have more receiving yards than rushing yards this season.
