He’s the Chuck Norris of rookie running backs. Who would dare throw a penalty flag against him?

Seems like he's the #1 in all standard.
I can see ward at #1 in superflex I guess, but obviously no where near consensus

Next Gen Stats
RD 1 | PK 6 - Raiders: Ashton Jeanty RB, Boise State

With the sixth pick, the @Raiders select the highest rated player by NGS overall score (95) in hopes of improving a RB group that generated the 5th-fewest rushing yards over expected last season (-83).

https://x.com/nextgenstats/status/1915569153823662323?s=61

Ashton Jeanty earned a 95 overall draft score according to the NGS draft model.

The rest of the top 5 — Reggie Bush, Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, and Saquon Barkley — were also all drafted within the top 10 picks of their respective classes.

I think Jeanty will be the clear consensus #1 even in SF.

 

[beef]

Should be a stud. My only concern is that his hair is too pretty.

Chris Trapasso
6. Raiders - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Flashy pick for LVR to get RB of Jeanty's caliber. Didn't move up to do it. Sneaky-explosive & best contact balance I've ever scouted. Don't love RB value this high (esp. in this class), but Raiders now more dangerous on O.

Grade: B

Nah he shouldn't go over Ward.

Nah he shouldn't go over Ward.

If I’m content with my QB room I’m absolutely taking Jeanty over Ward.

Folks, including myself, took Bijan 1.01 over Stroud and Young, and both of those guys were better prospects than Ward.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Start your engines!

 

[drummer]

Raiders last season: why watch that team? Raiders this upcoming season: a team you want to watch.

For sure. That was a typo on my part. I meant to say that ward shouldn’t go over Jeanty even in SF.

 

[MAC_32]

Setting an outlook reminder for 2 years from now to trade for him at the dip before a good team trades for a disgruntled Jeanty.

[Faust]

Raiders see Ashton Jeanty as a "perfect player" for their offense

 

[IHEARTFF]

clearest 1.1 too bad I don't have any of those

 

[Ilov80s]

The real question is what’s the price you would pay/accept for 1.01? If you’re an awful team in need of a total rebuild, it probably makes sense to move him for a haul. Right?

 

[JohnnyU]

It seems like everyone is completely disgarding this as a possible issue with Jeanty. Is that warrented?

I don't completely disregard it, but 1.06 NFL draft capital goes a long way. Also, I think he looked the part in a couple of games (plural?) where Boise wasn't favored.

I also like the lineage of a guy that had 54 Ashton Jeantys come before him. That says something for persistence and durability.

 

[Jppaul]

i'm simultaneously annoyed and excited that Jeanty and Hampton are in the same division as my Broncos.

AFC West might be the best division this year.

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

Just a made a deal this week with the rightful 1.01 owner. Sent over the 1.03, '26 1st, and Bigsby. I consider my team one RB away and feel good about it being a late 1st in 1QB.

That’s very affordable. If I could have gotten that deal I would have made it. I had the best team going into last year and just got hit with a ton of bad luck starting 0-7 losing game after game by less than 10 points despite scoring really well. So I sold off a couple vets and ended up with 3 first round picks. I offered those 3 for for Jeanty but he wanted next years first as well and that was just too much.

Yeah, that's time to walk away, assuming at least one of those picks was early. FWIW, Henderson is the guy I feel the worst about walking away from, even if there's a very slim chance he makes it to my 1.05.

Desperately needed a stud (I know, who doesn't) and Jeanty is the one that reads like an instant impact Year One bellcow. That counts for something when you have a couple of other studs nearing the end of their window.

Yes it was 1.04,1.09 and 1.10 which ended up turning into Hampton, Judkins and Golden.

You can’t beat that at Cas Walker’s.

 

[ffmail4me]

I traded for him in 2 of my dynasty leagues. He better be all that and a bag of chips!!

Gave: JJ McCarthy, 1.7, Dotson, Tolbert
Got: 1.1 (Jeanty), 4.1 (Royals), 4.3 (Ayomanor), 4.11 (Jaylin Lane)

Gave: Harrison Jr, 3.5, 4.5
Got: 1.1 (Jeanty)

So long as that first league isn't SF (edit: which I guess would also depend on how you're situated at QB); I love your side of both of these trades. Smashing the accept button and not looking back.

That might be a better package even without factoring a '26 1st. It's plausible that Hampton is on the same tier or even ranked ahead of Jeanty in '26 redraft.

That first trade is just plain dumb on his / her part, SF or not.

Not sure I agree with this regarding redraft. Jeanty has no competition and Hampton does.

I definitely did not expect Hampton to make it to 1.4. I was in talks to trade up to 2 for him. Glad that didn’t work out! Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don’t make.

Yes I definitely do have Jeanty higher. Significantly but it’s not at all crazy for Hampton to pass him. His offense could just be enough to push him past Jeanty.

'26 redraft, Najee UFA.

It will be thoroughly disappointing for me if it works out that way, but it's not impossible.

Sure.

But imma draft him, let him get a big game under his belt, THEN put him on the trade block

 

[Chaka]

Should be a stud. My only concern is that his hair is too pretty.

Any concerns about crappy competition?

It seems like everyone is completely disgarding this as a possible issue with Jeanty. Is that warrented?

LT2 played in the WAC.

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

No chance of getting him in any of my dynasties. Do we have a pulse on how early I'll have to take him in redraft?

Late 1st, early 2nd?

Fantasypros 1.11. Most leagues have a guy that want the shiny, new toy and are willing to reach. If that's you, I think you're going to have to pull the trigger around 7 or 8. Won't surprise me at all if he's cracking the top 5 in a lot of leagues come August.

I have pick 5 in an old school standard league and he’s my firewall if Saquon, Gibbs and Bijan are already gone.
