I love Jeanty, but he's like RB8 or so for me right now in redraft. I wanna be higher on him (and a month ago I had him 4th) but when push comes to shove in drafts, I certainly find myself preferring guys like CMC, Henry, Achane, and even Irving.

I don't blame you for talking him down but, at this point your desperation to get me to pass on him at #4 in League Uno is a little troubling.
You gonna be okay Little Buddy?

What makes you think he makes it to pick 4?

I have pick 5 in a my long time redraft home league. It's old school, no ppr and no flex. I am quite sure Saquon, Bijan, Gibbs and Chase will go in some order to start things off. I am then pretty torn between CMC, Henry and Jeanty. IMO, a standard format makes the RB1s just more valuable than the WR1s. Jefferson scored 215 points and was WR2. There were 9 RBs out who outscored him. As huge as Chase's season was, Saquon, Henry, Gibbs and Bijan all scored more. Getting that true stud RB is the real difference maker IMO.
It's tough for me to parse them out. CMC has injury risk, Henry has age cliff risk and Jeanty has the unknown risk. Henry is on the best offense and is likely to score the most TDs but also provides the least in the passing game. Jenaty and CMC are in conversation to lead the league in touches. I could see any of them out producing Gibbs, Bijan and Saquon to finish as the overall RB1.

I think Jeanty will quickly become a top 5 RB. Once Barkley and CMC age out in the next year or two, the faces of RB will be Jeanty, Gibbs and Bijan.

Achane as well ..
Hampton and Treyveon too... or at least I hope for the sake of my dynasty teams....

Price tag is high and all we have is college hype playing for Boise State
As I recall when they played stiffer competition post season he was mostly a non factor
I'm not as high on him as others for Redraft puroses
That would be 2025, not 2027 when 3 more RBs retire, yada yada
This year, you gotta cough up a 1st round pick, that's pretty much a hard pass

He ran the ball 25 times, caught two passes for 200 total yards and 3 TDs against Oregon. Boise should have won that game but their special teams imploded. The year before he played against Washington (who made it to the National Championship game that year). He had 150 yards and 2 TDs on 14 touches. Penn State really bottled him up in the playoffs this last year but Jeanty had outstanding games in 2 of his 3 matchups against college football playoff powerhouses.

That is not fully accurate.
Jeanty is absolutely going to eat this year. He's the second best RB to come out since AP (Saquon higher imo) and will be used in all facets on O. He's been getting a ton of working in the passing game throughout camp and I don't expect Mostert nor White to take many snaps from him.
Jeanty will be a top tier fantasy RB this year imo.

I mean even if he gets Gibbs level touches he’s still worth a top 18 pick at minimum

Looks like Trent Richardson tonight. I'm only half-joking.

The Raiders OL looked very Boise St. like tonight. Did Jeanty no favors.
I sure hope people buy into preseason and he falls.

RBs that need a hole to succeed don’t generally succeed in the NFL. You’ve gotta be able to make people miss to be a star RB. It’s a couple preseason carries but I expected more. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still very high on Jeanty but I hope it was just jitters. I expect him to look much more explosive as time marches on.
RaidersAreOne
Footballguy
I mean I don't know what you expect when there are 2-3 guys behind the LOS before he can even make a move. He had that nice spin move which broke a tackle but then got smacked by a couple more guys.
It's definitely preseason when people are already saying they expect more after 3 carries lol.

I said it multiple times, the kid is not "generational"; is he good and worth 1.01; yeah but he isn't tiers above Hampton and Hunter. I watched that Penn State Playoff game and he did nothing to impress

on what factors?

victory lapping after a few preseason carries?

Well, now I'm convinced.
The wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Jeanty truthers this year will be comedy gold. Did someone in this thread actually compare him to Barry?

He pulled a Kareem Hunt- fumbled on his first ever NFL carry and was left for dead. Not saying Jeanty fumbled but people love to say I told you so!!!
Remember when Chase had all those drops?

I had 1.01 in a rookie this yr and took him, so I would love to be wrong on this

If you're drafting before his next preseason game he probably falls to the 2nd round now. Lots of people will be scared off, even though 3 carries is nowhere near enough to judge anything.

Ashton Jeanty rushed three times for -1 yards in Thursday’s preseason game against the Seahawks.
Jeanty wasn’t targeted as the Raiders’ first-team offense barely played. It was an inauspicious evening: that meant absolutely nothing. Jeanty has been having a relatively quiet training camp, but we have yet to come across any new causes for concern. The pre-existing ones — Jeanty is a rookie, and Raheem Mostert could see meaningful playing time on third down — aren’t enough to dislodge him from the mid-range RB1 ranks.

We now all can go to work today and brag how we have more career rushing yards in the NFL than Jeanty.
pre season stats count towards career stats? hth, we still have the same number as him

I watched the Penn St game too and I thought he was very impressive. The Penn St D-line dominated that entire game and Jeanty was able to make guys miss in the backfield and pick up positive yards almost every time. While he was only getting 5-7 yd gains what he was doing was incredible to get those yards. The overall stats didn't look great but I thought he was very good under the circumstances.

Agreed that it's silly to judge Jeanty on last night.
What I am not so sure is as easily dismissable is how awful the Raiders 1st-team OL (and DL) looked against the Seattle backups. For whatever reasons - nerves, new system, crowd noise (on offense), I dunno - the Raider lines got their asses kicked from pillar to post during that opening quarter of football. That affected Jeanty's, and the team's performance, by far more than anything else.

This is my biggest concern with regards to Jeanty. If he has three guys in his face in the backfield every carry it doesn't matter how good he is. He can make the first or second guy miss but still only get 1 or 2 yds. That isn't going to cut it in FF as a first round pick.

That said if he broke off 12, 25 and 30 yard runs, we'd all be going crazy

He avg 3.5 a carry that game and thats with a long run of 26. And im not sure we watched the same game because I barely saw him break a tackle. Its kinda of common knowledge that when Jeanty went up against equal competition his stats were mid
I don't really care about his stats necessarily. I cared of what situations he was put in and how we looked dealing with them. I saw him break plenty of tackles but when he was surrounded by 3 or 4 guys breaking one tackle doesn't really do you much good. His blocking was terrible in that game but he always seemed to get positive yards making the first guy miss and get back to the line of scrimmage or beyond. I saw a couple 5 yd runs where he made a guy in the backfield miss, got skinny through the hole, jump cut by another guy and then the third/4th/5th guy got him down. Great run and much better than the 5 yds he got credited for.

Against P5 teams last year
@Oregon
25car 192yds 3 TDs
vs WSU
26car 259yds 4 TDs
vs Oregon St
37car 226yds 1 TD
vs PSU
30car 104yds 0 TD
25/192 vs Oregon who I think had 5 players from their defense drafted.
UNLV had the 23rd ranked rushing defense last year. He faced them twice. 33/128 and 32/209.
Those two, along with Penn St, are the best defenses he faced last year.
@FreeBaGeL beat me to some of this with his post above which I saw after I posted.

He obviously moves down 4 rounds after that disgusting performance. Unless I hear he finally is focusing on his diet this week he is undraftable.

Seahawks troll Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty after brutal debut
The Seattle Seahawks decided to troll Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty after a brutal NFL debut.
Isn’t common knowledge supposed to be true?
