The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Ashton Jeanty.
Is Ashton Jeanty Playing in Week 15?
Jeanty is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jeanty in Week 15?
Over the past three weeks, Ashton Jeanty has averaged 0.72 inches per carry before first contact with one of his 42 attempts, gaining 10+ yards.
That’s a problem.
That’s a sign of roster construction malpractice, but that’s more of an offseason topic.
The role is there and with 38 targets over his past six games, the acknowledgment of his versatility is too. There’s just a lack of offensive infrastructure and we are seeing just how much value that has in our game.
Jeanty remains a viable starter because he won’t be scripted out of this game and we just saw the Eagles get beat up by the Chargers RB tandem. With Philadelphia playing an overtime game on Monday night, there’s some fatigue potential to at least consider, but that’s getting a little cute for me.
Jeanty is a fine RB2, and I don’t think the ceiling is all that high, not the type of analysis I thought I’d be giving for a player with this level of pedigree and draft capital.
