Ashton Jeanty

NegativeRole0:20

The source suggests Ashton Jeanty is insulated by an expanded pass-catching role, with potential to reach 70 catches this season. The team may look to keep him fresh by mixing in Mike Washington as a 'hammer' in the run game, creating a scenario where both players could potentially pay off for fantasy managers. He is considered one of the few viable fantasy options in a potentially consolidated Vegas offense.

Mike Washington Jr.

PositiveSleeper0:00

The source identifies Mike Washington as an 'ADP rocket ship' currently climbing to the 12th-13th round, though they have been targeting him as late as the 15th-17th round in redraft. He is praised for his physical profile, speed, hands, and pass-protection skills, earning a comparison to 'Omar Hampton light.' He is viewed as a high-upside best ball pick who could serve as a 'hammer' in the run game to keep Ashton Jeanty fresh, potentially making him one of the few viable fantasy options in a consolidated Vegas offense.

0:00Mike Washington, who's an ADP rocket
0:02ship now, starting to see him go in like
0:04the 13th round, the 12th round. I have a
0:07ton of exposure to Washington in dynasty
0:11and in best ball. And then in redraft, I
0:13was taking him in like the 15th, 16th,
0:1417th round. Looks great. We know the
0:17Clint Kubiak scheme is there. How good
0:20would Mike Washington be if Ashton
0:22Jeanty were to miss time?
0:24>> Mike Washington though looks fantastic.
0:25I was super high on him as a prospect
0:27and he's like Omar and Hampton light.
0:29Big, physical, fast, good hands, pass
0:32pro, like he kind of checks a lot of
0:34boxes for that man.
0:35>> I think Jeanty's insulated with the pass
0:36catching role. I think that the argument
0:38where
0:39if they're going to use Jeanty, they say
0:41expanded pass catching role, does Jeanty
0:43get to 70 catches this year and they
0:45want to keep him fresh by mixing in
0:47Washington as sort of like a hammer?
0:49I think there is a chance they both pay
0:51off. And also when you look at how
0:53consolidated this Vegas offense could
0:55be, there's a chance that the viable
0:58guys are Bowers, Jeanty, and then
1:00Washington sort of being a really fun
1:01best ball pick.
