Should You Start or Sit Jeanty in Week 9?
Jeanty has seen his yards per carry before contact increase from 0.19 to 1.12 in October, still an underwhelming number, but certainly a step in the right direction for the supporting cast.
Despite the improvements up front, the sixth overall pick doesn’t have a carry gaining more than 13 yards this month and is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry in those contests.
Let’s call this what it is: an uneven rookie season.
We were expecting greatness, and that’s clearly not in the cards for Year 1. Some weeks, we see explosive runs. Other weeks, we see a handful of targets.
Breadcrumbs are being laid, but not nearly enough for me to forecast the top 10 value the rest of the way. Jeanty was overdrafted this summer, and the scar tissue from that could result in a nice post-hype price tag entering 2026.
We can cross that bridge when we get to it. For the rest of this season, Jeanty is to be viewed as a fine RB2 thanks to a stable role. The range of outcomes is broad, something that isn’t surprising for a strong prospect in an iffy situation, and should be accounted for as we move into the second half of the season.
