Ashton Jeanty emerges as potential top pick for 2026 fantasy drafts

Ashton Jeanty is gaining traction as a leading candidate for the No. 1 overall pick in 2026 fantasy football drafts. After a rookie season where he finished RB11 in total PPR scoring, Jeanty's expectations are being reassessed due to significant team changes. With a new offensive system and a stronger offensive line, Jeanty may see an increase in carries from his average of 15.6 per game last season, enhancing his fantasy value. Enhanced rushing volume could lead to greater opportunities for both rushing and receiving yards, positioning him as a strong fantasy option in the upcoming season.
