Jeanty is a round-one breakout target with elite opportunity and scheme fit.
Ashton JeantyRBLV
JJ Zachariason calls Jeanty a breakout candidate and targets him at the tail end of round one. Jeanty had an elite year-one weighted opportunity (targets and rushes combined); despite a 3.7 yards-per-carry average, yards per carry is not predictive. He had the second-worst yards before contact per attempt in the NFL (only Quinshod Judkins was lower). Las Vegas is adding Tyler Linderbaum and Colton Miller back from injury, plus Clint Kubiak, who will deploy outside zone runs—a scheme that historically favors fantasy production. Since 2011, only Saquon Barkley matches Jeanty's combination of 80%+ running back rush share and target share as a rookie. Zachariason emphasizes volume in a good offensive scheme can overcome a mediocre offense.

I think Gentty can really thrive there...since 2011, there's only one other rookie running back who had an 80% running back rush share and a target share as high as Ashton Gentty's. And it's Saquon Barkley...I'm going to call out Gentty as a breakout this year and a guy that I like to target at the tail end of round one.
