Ashton Jeanty

21-Year-Old Running BackRB
Las Vegas Raiders
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Even in a league well-stocked with running back talent, Jeanty is likely the position's best prospect in many years. That doesn't mean he'll be the best in the NFL -- Trent Richardson showed how things can go wrong even for seemingly infallible prospects -- but Jeanty nonetheless ranks on that level. At 5-foot-9, 211 pounds, he's naturally anchored and densely built, seemingly nailed to the floor and floating at the same time. He breaks tackle attempts with minimal effort, and his top on-field speed last season (21.7 mph) was the best of any RB from the incoming draft class, allowing him to skip pre-draft testing without hurting his stock. Jeanty dominated in two different roles at Boise State, thriving as a dual threat in 2023 (18.3 carries, 3.6 catches per game) before serving as more of a pure rushing workhorse in 2024 (26.7 carries, 1.7 catches). This means Jeanty likely can thrive as a Bijan Robinson-style workhorse or as more of an in-space specialist like early career Alvin Kamara. Large workloads won't take long to materialize in Las Vegas, where the No. 6 overall pick joins a backfield that was arguably the league's worst last season. The other new addition, 33-year-old Raheem Mostert, is unlikely to stand in Jeanty's way. Concerns about team context will be justified until the Raiders prove otherwise, but there is real hope for a competent offense under the guidance of new coordinator Chip Kelly and starting QB Geno Smith. For all of Kelly's other shortcomings, his four years as an NFL head coach produced offenses ranked first, ninth, 14th and fourth in rushing yards. Jeanty figures to step right in as the engine of the offense, with him and TE Brock Bowers being centerpieces of the Raiders' latest rebrand. Read Past Outlooks

Modest numbers again in loss
RBLas Vegas Raiders
September 21, 2025
Jeanty carried the ball 17 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
The rookie running back failed to see a target for the first time in his brief career, but Jeanty did little with his six targets in his first two games, so it was little surprise to see his role as a pass catcher reduced. The 63 rushing yards did represent his best effort so far on the ground, but it was still far from a breakout performance for the sixth overall pick in the 2025 Draft. Jeanty stands a better chance of making an impact in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

Searching for rhythm
RBLas Vegas Raiders
September 16, 2025
Coach Pete Carroll said the Raiders need to get Jeanty the ball more often, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Raiders fell behind early in Week 2 against the Chargers and turned to a particularly pass-heavy gameplan. The result was Jeanty seeing only 11 carries while picking up 43 yards. After the game, Carroll noted that the rookie needs to get more carries and that the team needs to get its run game going in general. Jeanty was also critical of his own performance and noted that he's having trouble adjusting to the speed of the NFL.
