From the article

Ashton Jeanty is barely producing as a rusher. So thank goodness he is really revving up the free PPR points machine. As Establish The Run's Mark Dankenbring helpfully points out, Jeanty is commanding a target on 29.2 percent of his routes. That's an extremely strong mark for a running back, especially one who is ostensibly an every-down player and not a passing-game specialist.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jeanty's 29.2% target rate on routes supports PPR-based RB2 with upside if rushing improves.

Jeanty is barely producing as a rusher but is generating strong PPR value through the passing game. He is commanding a target on 29.2 percent of his routes—an extremely strong mark for a running back, especially one who is ostensibly an every-down player and not a passing-game specialist. The source characterizes him as a PPR-based RB2 who could become significantly more if he ever gets in gear between the tackles.
