Since 2010, there have been four RBs selected with a top-six pick in the NFL Draft. That group -- which includes Trent Richardson and Leonard Fournette -- averaged 20.1 PPR points per game with a low of 17 per game (Richardson). Bijan Robinson ranked as the RB3 in 2024 with 20.1 PPR points per game, for reference. Kyren Williams was the RB10 with 17 PPR points per game. Jeanty will serve as the offensive engine for Pete Carroll, Chip Kelly, and the new-look Raiders. Kelly reinvented the run game for the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes, implementing more man/gap run designs that resulted in career-best efficiency for TreVeyon Henderson. And, of course, Carroll has also watched over some legendary RB seasons. Jeanty is set up for a monstrous rookie output. He probably will not slip much further than the end of Round 1 in Fantasy drafts and may well lead the RB position in scoring right away.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Two carries in preseason finale
Rotowire
Jeanty rushed twice for five yards in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.
Jeanty logged the Raiders' first touch from scrimmage and shared time with Zamir White on the drive. Jeanty, the rookie first-round pick, had a relatively quiet first preseason as a pro, rushing 12 times for 37 yards and a touchdown while recording one catch for two yards over three games. That type of sparse usage should be a distant memory as soon as the regular season begins, as Jeanty is expected to handle a robust role in the Raiders' ground attack beginning with a Week 1 road matchup against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Scores TD in second preseason game
Rotowire
Jeanty rushed seven times for 33 yards and a touchdown and added one catch on one target for two yards in Saturday's exhibition loss to San Francisco.
Jeanty tallied minus-1 yard on three carries in his preseason NFL debut against the Seahawks on Aug. 7, but he looked significantly better against the 49ers. The rookie out of Boise State ripped off a team-high 13-yard run on his fifth carry and finished that same drive with a one-yard push into the end zone. Overall, Jeanty averaged 4.7 yards per rush attempt, showcasing the promise the Raiders saw when they drafted him sixth overall in April's NFL Draft. He's set to lead Las Vegas' running back corps out of the gate and is consistently being taken late in the first round of fantasy drafts.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: No running room in NFL debut
Rotowire
Jeanty rushed three times for minus-1 yard and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Seahawks.
Jeanty produced a forgettable stat line in his highly anticipated Raiders debut. His first carry went for three yards on the opening drive, and Jeanty stayed in for the start of the second drive even as Geno Smith gave way to backup Aidan O'Connell under center. Poor blocking contributed to Jeanty being stuffed on his next two carries for a combined minus-4 yards. Jeanty's prolific production at Boise State led to him being drafted sixth overall, but the talented rookie could be held back to some extent by poor offensive line play on a Vegas team that went 4-13 last season, even if Jeanty works in a three-down role out of the gate. He'll look to pick up the pace Aug. 16 against the 49ers in the Raiders' second preseason game.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Vegas bound
Rotowire
The Raiders selected Jeanty in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, sixth overall.
There was plenty of speculation earlier Thursday that Jeanty would be the fifth pick, but a shakeup at the top of the board changed the course of the draft and allowed the Raiders an opportunity to swoop in and immediately change their backfield. Jeanty put up video game-like numbers during his three seasons at Boise State with 4,769 yards and 50 rushing touchdowns to go with 80 catches for 862 yards and six touchdowns on 100 targets. He ran for a whopping 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns on 374 carries in his final season. To average 7.0 yards per carry when defenses spent the entire week gameplanning how to slow him down shows just how special of a running back Jeanty is. He didn't test at the NFL Combine, but the production and a look at the film suggest that he's an above-average athlete for an NFL running back. The fit couldn't be much better for Jeanty's workload projection, as the Raiders were dead-last in the NFL in rushing yards (1,357) and YPC (3.6) last season. Playing for a coach like Pete Carroll will also help solidify his usage. The Raiders' offensive line is a bit of a question mark, but even so, Jeanty's pre-draft status as the top fantasy rookie in redraft and in dynasty remains unchanged.
