FantasyPros Articles on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
The do-it-all running back out of Boise State looked like he was going to dominate touches and volume. However, his rookie season did not quite match the expectations attached to him as a rookie. But for 2026, that creates a buying opportunity for a 22-year-old running back who still has the profile of a potential workhorse.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty's disappointing rookie efficiency masks strong workload and receiving value; dynasty buy at 22.
The source identifies Jeanty as a buying opportunity in dynasty formats despite disappointing 2025 rookie efficiency. Though he averaged only 3.7 yards per carry, he handled 266 carries and 55 receptions (321 total touches) in 17 games, finishing with 975 rushing yards, 346 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. He was sixth in target share at RB and posted five receiving touchdowns, establishing a valuable receiving floor. As the sixth overall 2025 pick with job security and entering 2026 with number one overall pick Fernando Mendoza as his quarterback, Jeanty's dynasty value is strengthened by his youth (22 years old), three-down usage, and the Raiders' improved offensive environment. He was still fourth overall in evaded tackles in 2025, suggesting the shiftiness remains despite efficiency concerns.
