The Raiders selected Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Jeanty is the most complete RB prospect in recent memory. The 21-year-old dominated as a 2024 junior with 374 carries, 2,601 yards, and 29 TDs. As a sophomore, he enjoyed his best receiving season, catching 43 passes for 569 yards and 5 TDs. In ‘24, Jeanty earned several accolades, including the Doak Walker Award (for best RB) and the Maxwell Award (for most outstanding player). Plus, he finished second behind WR/CB Travis Hunter in Heisman voting. At nearly 5’9, 211 pounds, Jeanty runs with a rare blend of power, contact balance, and burst. He’s also one of the best pass-catching backs in this class, raising his fantasy ceiling. While Jeanty didn’t test at the NFL Combine, we have no doubts about his overall athleticism.
Jeanty will slide into a huge workload as a rookie. Just consider Vegas’ RB depth:
Jeanty is no stranger to a workhorse role. From 2023-2024, he averaged a hefty 25.3 touches per game.
On volume alone, Jeanty will enter his rookie campaign with clear top-five fantasy upside.
Jeanty exits college with 830 touches. It’s not an ideal number, but note that he doesn’t turn 22 until December.
He’ll stick in the top-three of our soon-to-be updated dynasty RB rankings.
