FantasyPros Articles on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
Ashton Jeanty will be seen as a disappointment for fantasy managers exiting his rookie season. It wasn't a failure, but you can make the argument that, because of his talent and the hype, it didn't live up to lofty expectations.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty's poor ecosystem masked talent; improved Raiders offense could unlock strong RB1 season.
Ashton Jeanty's rookie season was a disappointment relative to his talent and hype, though not a failure. He was the RB15 in fantasy points per game with 321 touches and 1,321 total yards. Jeanty ranked fifth in snap share, first in opportunity share, seventh in weighted opportunities, and 15th in red zone touches, but ranked 16th in missed tackle rate and 17th in yards after contact per attempt among 49 qualifying backs. The ecosystem surrounding Jeanty was poor: the Raiders ranked 31st in red zone scoring attempts per game and 30th in yards per play. Jeanty had the second-fewest yards before contact per attempt (1.28) among qualifying backs, with 65% of his rushing yards coming after first contact. The source projects him at RB8 (247.5 FPTS) versus his ECR of RB6 (-2 differential), but notes that with Klint Kubiak in town, improved QB play (Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins), a healthy Brock Bowers, and improved blocking, Jeanty could post a strong RB1 season in his second year.
