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.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
JJ Zachariason projects Ashton Jeanty as a potential top-three running back in fantasy if the Las Vegas offense performs better than expected. Zachariason emphasizes volume over efficiency, noting Jeanty was second-worst in yards before contact per attempt last year but expects the offensive line improvements and Clint Kubiak's system to provide sufficient volume to meet ADP at minimum, with upside for elite production. Zachariason is not concerned about last year's efficiency given the lack of correlation between year-one yards per carry and future performance.NegativeProjectionJul 22, 2026
Zachariason is bullish on Ashton Jeanty's volume potential in the Las Vegas offense under Clint Kubiak with a rookie QB upgrade over Gino Smith; he expects Jeanty to at minimum meet ADP through volume, but could be a top-three running back in fantasy if the offense performs better than expected; Jeanty was second-worst in yards before contact per attempt last year (only Quinshon Judkins worse), but the offensive line is getting significant upgrades through injury return and free agency, so Zachariason is not worried about last year's efficiency; volume is the key focus, not yards per carry.PositiveValueJul 9, 2026
Jeanty is available at RB8 ADP on some platforms and the analyst is 'in at that cost,' placing him in the same tier as James Cook and Jonathan Taylor.PositiveProjectionJul 9, 2026
Jeanty played 2.4 PPR points per game below expected last year due to a 30th-ranked PFF run-blocking offensive line, but with Colton Miller and Tyler Linderbaum returning, the analyst expects the line to improve significantly and projects Jeanty as RB4 in market score, available at RB8 ADP on some platforms.NegativeProjectionJul 9, 2026
Jeanty played 2.4 PPR points per game below expectation last year, making him a bounce-back candidate.
