Ashton Jeanty: Set-it-and-forget-it Fantasy Star
27 Sep
Summary
- Jeanty is one of two backs with multiple 20-carry, five-target games.
- Saints defense struggles against the run, allowing yards before contact.
- Jeanty's floor remains valuable despite offensive struggles.
Ashton Jeanty is poised for a significant fantasy performance in Week 3. He stands out as one of the few running backs to achieve multiple games with at least 20 carries and five targets.
While his recent outing against the Chargers saw no gains exceeding 10 yards and no touchdowns, Jeanty salvaged fantasy teams with four receptions. This consistent floor is a hallmark of a player ready to elevate his game.
The New Orleans Saints' defensive struggles against the run, particularly in allowing yards before contact, present a prime opportunity for Jeanty. The Saints rank 28th in this metric, a continuation of a trend from the previous season.
Despite offensive limitations, Jeanty's featured role provides invaluable fantasy production. He is considered a reliable "set-it-and-forget-it" option for fantasy managers until further notice.
