1. RB Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders (RB1, Round 1-Pick 6)

Ashton Jeanty finished his time at Boise State with a 99.9 career rushing grade while averaging over 200 yards per game as a freshman. He ranks as one of the top three running back prospects of the past decade. Jeanty landed with the Las Vegas Raiders as the sixth overall pick, joining the team that arguably needed a running back the most. He projects to be one of the few true feature backs in the NFL.

Jeanty proved in 2023 that he could also be an elite receiving threat, averaging 3.2 yards per route run. The Raiders have limited receiving options, and Chip Kelly’s offenses have historically featured running backs heavily in the passing game. The only thing holding Jeanty back from being in the very top tier of fantasy backs is the offensive line — while the top three projected fantasy running backs play behind top-five run-blocking units, the Raiders’ line is closer to league average.

Jeanty should be the clear-cut No. 1 pick in dynasty rookie drafts, even in superflex formats. In redraft leagues, he profiles as a late first- or early second-round pick. If the Raiders‘ line continues to improve, he has the upside to finish among the very top fantasy running backs.
