Going as the RB6, 10th overall, our analysts are genuinely split here. The projections point to a real season, but one that lands closer to a backend RB1 finish in the RB10 to 12 range rather than a true top-six overall running back.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty projections split: backend RB1 (RB10-12) vs. top-six upside with OL improvements.
Going as RB6, 10th overall, the source notes analysts are genuinely split. The projections point to a real season, but one that lands closer to a backend RB1 finish in the RB10 to 12 range rather than a true top-six overall running back. One the source believes the jump required from last year's disappointing rookie output to a true top-six finish is larger than the modest per-game increase the projections themselves show, driven mostly by added rushing volume rather than a big receiving-game jump. The other the source is more bullish, pointing to real offensive line improvements this year, including a highly regarded new center and two other linemen returning healthy, plus a new coaching staff with a track record of making its offensive line perform above the sum of its parts. With very little proven talent around him at either running back or receiver, the belief is that added play volume and efficiency will funnel disproportionately to Jeanty given how clearly he stands out as this offense's top skill player.
