Ashton Jeanty, selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is poised to become a cornerstone of the franchise and a major player in fantasy football. Known for his electrifying play, Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final college season, coming just shy of Barry Sanders' FBS record. His selection reflects a shift in the Raiders under Tom Brady's influence, emphasizing talent over traditional positional value.

While Jeanty faced some skepticism about his performance against tougher competition, his college highlights, including standout games against playoff teams, solidify his reputation. His immediate impact is anticipated as he joins a young offensive nucleus, potentially making him a frontrunner for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
