Ashton Jeanty: 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Ashton Jeanty's one drafted season in this sample ended at RB11 in 2025. The market now prices him as RB11, pick 18; one finish is not a reliable floor. Our published board ranks him #16, near consensus: draft at price, around pick 18.
Why this draft target?
- Our season projection is 13.9 PPR points per game. The model labels his risk high and upside moderate.
- There is only one drafted season in this historical sample (2025). That is limited evidence for judging year-to-year consistency.
The verdict compares consensus ADP with the published board, not the raw model. A difference within two picks or 5% of ADP, whichever is larger, is fair price. Target pick also accounts for acquisition timing; it is not a guarantee of availability.
Where the market has him
Our published board has him at 16, effectively level with the market. Across 16 ranking sources the spread is 3.9 places — tightly clustered.
The acquisition target is pick 18, round 2 in a 10-team league. Board rank orders player value; the target pick also accounts for market price. It is a guide, not a guarantee that the player will still be available. The replacement-level running back we measure him against is Rhamondre Stevenson, which is the honest comparison: the question is never whether he is good, it is how much better he is than the player you could have instead.

The track record
Across 1 drafted season in our sample, Ashton Jeanty finished at or above his positional draft price 0 times.
| Season | Drafted as | Finished | PPG | Games | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | RB6 | RB11 | 14.4 | 17 | — |
Positional draft rank against final positional finish on PPR total points. A severe bust is a finish outside the top 60 FLEX scorers.
Risk and upside
Our model tiers him high for risk and moderate for upside. Across the 2026 board those two scores are essentially uncorrelated, so a low-risk label is not a low-ceiling label.
Why the model says high risk: Moderate risk: weekly/market volatility (52.5) with market disagreement (20.5) as the secondary driver.
