Ashton Jeanty

Running BackRB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jeanty ranks among the best do-it-all backs in college football, serving as a workhorse to the tune of 220 carries for 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns while supplying another 43 catches for 569 yards and five scores as a receiver. He ranked second to only Ollie Gordon in terms of fantasy production in 2023, and the pair of backs are the clear 1-2 to come off the board entering 2024 as well. Taylen Green is gone, but Malachi Nelson figures to be a more than capable replacement. It's quite plausible for Jeanty's touch count to ascend further in 2024 with Green, who accounted for around a 14 percent carry share last season, transferring to Arkansas and a less run-heavy quarterback in Nelson slated to take over. George Holani, the one experienced back from last year's roster, has also graduated, leaving inexperience behind Jeanty in the backfield in an explosive Boist State offense. Jeanty will also accommodate Dirk Koetter as the offensive coordinator again after a single season under Bush Hamdan, though Jeanty and Koetter were under the same offensive umbrella in 2022 as well.

Another huge day
September 9, 2024
Jeanty accrued 25 carries for 192 yards and three touchdowns and caught 2 of 5 targets for eight yards during Saturday's 37-34 loss to Oregon.
ANALYSIS
Jeanty came eight yards shy of topping 200 for a consecutive week. The junior also added three more touchdowns with two coming in the fourth quarter, including a 70-yard rush. Jeanty has established himself as one of the top running backs in the nation while inserting his name into the conversation for darkhorse Heisman candidates. He's up to 459 rushing yards on 45 carries (averaging 10.2 yards per attempt) with nine touchdowns through two games this season.

College Football Spring Practice: Mountain West Storylines
163 days ago
Sam Klein looks at intriguing spring fantasy storylines across the Mountain West conference. Despite an impressive season in 2023, Ashton Jeanty could shine brighter next season with George Holani gone.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jeanty joined the Broncos in Andy Avalos’ first season, and the true freshman was worked into the lineup over time. Even with George Holani still around, Jeanty had double-digit carries in three of the last four games of the season. He ended things on a high note, as in a bowl game against North Texas he rushed 28 times for 178 yards and a touchdown. All in all, Jeanty’s true freshman campaign ended with him racking up 156 carries for 821 yards and seven touchdowns. He averaged 5.3 yards per carry, while Holani averaged 5.2. They made for quite the duo! With both backs returning for 2023, will Jeanty earn more carries this season? Or will the ratio remain the same, with Holani the lead back and Jeanty an oft-used backup? If it’s the former, Jeanty’s sophomore campaign could be beneficial to fantasy players.
