STACKED’s take
Jeanty's declining carries and tough Seahawks matchup push him out of RB2 range.
Despite being RB17 in points per game, Jeanty's carry count has declined or stayed equal every successive game from Week 1 through Week 8, bumping from two to six carries in Week 9. Since Week 5, he's tied for 51st in carries per game and 64th in rushing yards per game. He's producing value entirely through receiving (35+ yards in seven of nine games, three of four TDs through the air), but faces the Seahawks—allowing the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game to running backs—with rookie QB Fernando Mendoza making his debut. Vegas is tied for second-lowest implied total (17 points), and even six to seven catches for 50-60 yards leaves Jeanty on course for single-digit fantasy points.
