Fantasy Life Articles on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
Jeanty was not only an elite running back prospect—he was the BEST running back prospect in my model's history, which goes back to 2014... Jeanty was predicted to score nearly 24 PPG across his three best seasons. And going into his sophomore season, we are getting a massive discount on the best prospect in history.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty's elite prospect ceiling and massive Raiders offensive upgrades make him Cupps' top overall pick despite RB3 ADP.
Alex Cupps ranks Jeanty at RB3 (6th overall) despite an ADP of 12.6, citing his transcendent prospect profile—the best running back prospect in Cupps' model's history (back to 2014) with a predicted 24 PPG ceiling across his three best seasons. Despite a worst-case 2025 environment (Raiders ranked dead last in points per game at 14.2 and offensive line grade), Jeanty finished RB16 with 14.5 FPPG, gaining 84% of his 975 rush yards after initial contact. With massive 2026 offseason upgrades—new head coach Klint Kubiak (Super Bowl-winning offensive mastermind), new OL coach Rick Dennison (Seattle's run game coordinator under Kubiak), Pro-Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum signing, and new QB Fernando Mendoza (#1 overall pick)—Cupps calls him his favorite overall pick and believes he could be "you HAD to have" in retrospect.
