RB Ashton Jeanty, LV (4 Viewers)

397 touches in 14 games. My goodness. He had nearly 100 more rushing attempts the Omarion. Saquon had 378 in 16 games for reference...
 
Someone read their FBG email today
I just haven't heard of any college rb getting that much usage. Just seems like a crime to young a man at that age.
Derrick Henry? He had over 400 touches his final year at Alabama and he's turned out to have a pretty good NFL career.
Pretty sure Tomlinson and Barry put in a lot of work as well. Unless I’m misremembering.
Was just curious so I had to look it up. Barry at 363 touches his final year. Tomlinson at 379 touches. The gut punch though, they each did it in 11 games. Smh. Crazy. Doesn't even seem plausible to have a rb get 34 touches per game. Then the career those two had. Imagine how their bodies feel each morning getting out of bed. Must be brutal.

Faulk had 347 touches his final season (12 games)
 
Touches/game final college season:

LT2 34
Barry 33
Marshall 29
Jeanty 28
Henry 27
Orenthal the bus driving murderer 37 :shock:
 
Jeanty is going to see an enormous amount of touches this year, very safe high pick with a lot of upside to go along with it.
RBBC is what I am hearing now

Raiders HC Pete Carroll said “I’m not relying on one guy” when asked about the team’s running back rotation.
Nothing to see here imho. No RB takes 100% of the carries so Pete Carroll’s statement is always true.

If you really think the Raiders are taking significant touches away from Ashton Jeanty to give them to...

Raheem Mostert
Sincere McCormick
Zamir White
Dylan Laube
Chris Collier

I don't know what to tell you besides...Good luck.
I agree. And even if it was true, who would you draft above him instead?
I’m only taking three guys ahead of him in redraft-Bijan, Saquon, and Gibbs.

I can understand people drafting Henry over him, but I’d personally go with Jeanty.

I feel like its not really fair to throw Mostert in with those other guys, I can absolutely see Mostert getting more work than Jeanty drafters want to see. Mostert is only a year removed from 209-1012-18 on the ground. Not saying he's gonna be a huge factor, but I think he can absolutely be enough to keep Jeanty out of the top-5. I can certainly see arguments for CMC, Jacobs, Achane, or Irving ahead of Jeanty, but its also possible he changes the entire Raiders offense and is RB1 overall.

Well really he is two years removed from that, or at least will be by the time the season starts.

What a 33 year old did 2 years ago may as well have been 10 years ago in most cases though. How many guys really bounce back from a terrible year at age 33? Frank Gore I guess, but 99% of the time when a 32 year old falls off a cliff, he doesn't climb back up it.

I get what you're saying as a whole and think it's fair, but was just commenting on that. I don't think Mostert's age 31 season is very relevant anymore. He's hit the wall.

I'm sure I am reading too much into this, but I think Mostert coming on board means they don't think much of Zamir White. I doubt Mostert gets any of the goalline work, I think he'll get a series here or there.

Remains to be seen how many catches Jeanty gets, so it's fair to wonder about his ceiling. Mostert can siphon some catches I guess.

I assume you mean of the RB's and not all positions. i would be taking Chase, Jefferson, Lamb ahead of Jeanty as well.
