From the article

Jeanty is a high-floor RB1 with a legitimate RB1 overall ceiling... The signing of Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum and improved QB play from offseason addition Kirk Cousins... should help Jeanty's cause. With better team offensive efficiency and more scoring chances, Jeanty has the talent to turn bell-cow volume into elite fantasy upside this year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jeanty's RB1 ceiling depends on Raiders offense improvement with Linderbaum and Cousins.

Jeanty is a high-floor RB1 with a legitimate RB1 overall ceiling; his availability at 2.06 is tenuous given his ADP of 2.02. Hitting that ceiling requires significant improvement from Las Vegas' offense (finished dead last in points and yards in 2025 with league-high 24.9% stuffed rate). The signing of Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum and improved QB play from Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza should help Jeanty's cause; with better team offensive efficiency, he has the talent to turn bell-cow volume into elite fantasy upside.
