Fantasy Football Player Notes

Running back Ashton Jeanty continued to look like a three-down workhorse. He handled 90% of the snaps, with 13 carries for 42 yards and 5 receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown. Per Next Gen Stats, Jeanty forced 9 missed tackles (his second-most in a game this season) and generated 71 yards after the catch, a career high. He also logged 3 goal-line carries and handled virtually all of the two-minute offense. Through Week 9, Jeanty has now forced 46 missed tackles, the third-most in the NFL entering Sunday Night Football.

The advice remains the same as the last two weeks.

The Raiders - per the SOS tool - have a top playoff schedule for fantasy RBs. Per the SOS tool...Raiders have the No. 1 schedule for RBs in the fantasy playoffs. Although being fully transparent, the Eagles/Texans aren't amazing matchups even if they are somewhat plus spots on paper.

It's not perfect, but there are some decent spots for a three-down workhorse like Jeanty, who ranks 12TH in the NFL in total touches.

RB15 in XPGG and RB17 FPPG.

The Broncos x2, Eagles and Texans aren't ideal - even if the Chargers/Cowboys/Giants are fantastic. Week 17 versus the Giants might be worth it to acquire Jeanty for a championship-level performance. I still want to buy Jeanty. If you can
