Will Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty be an elite fantasy football option in 2026? Jeanty is expected to take the next step in his career next season after flirting with 1,000 yards rushing as a rookie in 2025, making him a player to watch for next season.

According to NBC Sports’ Matthew Berry's Positional Rankings for the 2026 fantasy football season, Jeanty will be the sixth-best running back in 1QB re-draft leagues with full points per reception scoring.

Jeanty is projected by ESPN Fantasy Football to record 1,137 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in 2026, as well as 494 receiving yards on 65 receptions, on his way to earning 281.4 fantasy points per game in the PPR format, which ranks No. 6 at the position.

Next season will present Jeanty with an opportunity to become one of the best volume rushers in the league. The Boise State product will benefit from the play-calling of Raiders coach Klint Kubiak in 2026. With his projected rise in productivity all across the board, Jeanty figures to be a strong selection in 1QB PPR leagues next season.
