FantasyPros Articles on Ashton Jeanty

Jeanty's snap share collapsed to 36.7%; unclear if role change sticks or matchup-dependent.

Last week, Jeanty was turned into the passing-down-only back with a 36.7% snap rate, only two rushing attempts, a 48.1% route share, and an 11.5% target share. The source notes uncertainty about whether this is the beginning of a new role or punishment for mouthing off to the media about the Jets' run defense. In Weeks 1-7, Jeanty had a 69.5% snap rate, 60.9% of the rushing work, and a 54.8% route share (16.5% target share), averaging 20 touches and 91.5 total yards (RB14 in fantasy points per game). Last week he finished with five touches and 73 total yards. Jeanty has 2.13 yards after contact per attempt, but also a 12% missed tackle rate and 5.1% explosive run rate. He has been playing through injury and behind an offensive line that ranks dead last in yards before contact per attempt (0.97). Even if his previous role comes back, he has a tough matchup; over their last five games, the 49ers have allowed the lowest explosive run rate, second-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and seventh-lowest missed tackle rate.
