The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly in love with Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders have the No. 6 overall pick in the draft and it sounds like they plan to take Jeanty. This would be a huge upgrade for the Raiders who currently rank as one of the worst in the league at the running back position. They added Raheem Mostert over the offseason, but Jeanty would come in as a Day 1 starter. The expectation is that Jeanty would see a heavy workload on any team that drafts him. It wouldn't be surprising if Jeanty holds first-round value in fantasy drafts if he lands in Las Vegas. This seems like a good fit as new head coach Pete Carroll looks to quickly turn around this roster.

Dynasty | The Raiders continue to be linked to Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. Dynasty Analysis: The latest report indicates it's little more than a foregone conclusion Las Vegas takes Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in next week's draft. It's just a bit bold to say anyone is going anywhere outside of the first overall selection. However, the Raiders look to be the first team on the list who would realistically consider Jeanty in round one. If this is the case, he would be locked into the RB1 territory from day one. Still, there would also be a bit of a buyer beware tag on him as Pete Carroll does love himself a good old fashioned running back competition.

According to ESPN's Matt Miller and scouts around the NFL, the Chicago Bears "love" Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty as a prospect and could be targeting the 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up with the No. 10 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. Jeanty took the college football world by storm last season, posting 2,601 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns. However, Jeanty might not make it to Chicago if they stay put at No. 10, as the Las Vegas Raiders, who hold the No. 6 selection, are rumored to be interested in picking him there. Chicago has two second-round picks, so they could be aggressive in trading up. However, the team has other needs at defensive tackle and edge rusher, so the range of outcomes is wide in the first year under head coach Ben Johnson.

Boise State running back and 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty is expected to be a first-round pick and the first ball-carrier selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. While the explosive runner has been tied to landing spots such as the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos, the Las Vegas Raiders have emerged as the popular destination. The Raiders hold the No. 6 overall pick, and it would be a surprise if he's selected inside the top five. Meanwhile, DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Raiders as -150 favorites to land Jeanty, and ESPN's Field Yates projected Jeanty to land in the Sin City in his recent mock draft. Jeanty was excellent in his final collegiate season, rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns. While the Las Vegas offense has struggled in recent years, quarterback Geno Smith, tight end Brock Bowers, and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers provide enough firepower around him if the Raiders' offensive line can achieve at least league-average play. If Jeanty is the pick at No. 6 overall, expect him to be a full-fledged workhorse with immediate high-end RB1 upside for fantasy football.

Running back is one of the Dallas Cowboys' biggest needs in the upcoming NFL draft, but The Athletic's Jon Machota writes that it doesn't sound like they view it as their top priority at No. 12 overall. Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, the consensus top running back in this year's class, could still be the pick for the Cowboys at 12th overall, but it's looking more likely that they will go in another direction. It makes sense because this year is considered to be a strong RB class, so the Cowboys could be better off targeting a back in the second or third rounds. Jeanty didn't have a formal interview with Dallas at last week's NFL Combine in Indianapolis, but there will be plenty of time for them to find a time to sit down with him before April. There are question marks about Jeanty's durability at the next level given the volume he saw in college, but he should be expected to have a major role in his first year in the NFL, depending on his landing spot.

Dynasty | Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty won't do on-field workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine. Dynasty Analysis: A sure-fire first round draft pick, Jeanty really has little to gain and more to lose should he not perform as well as expected. Instead, he'll work out at his Pro Day and hope to solidify his draft stock. He's been a popular mock draft target of the Broncos and Cowboys, though anything can (and likely will) happen there. Jeanty projects as a solid rookie draft pick, perhaps even the 1.01 in traditional formats this Spring.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty will only participate in medical evaluations and team interviews at the 2025 NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis this week, according to his agent. Jeanty will do on-field drill during Boise State's Pro Day. Not unlike some of this year's top prospects, the 21-year-old will not work out in front of NFL scouts this week in Indy, but it shouldn't negatively affect his draft stock at all as the likely top RB off the board this year. In his final year with the Broncos in 2024, Jeanty was extremely productive, carrying the ball 374 times for 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns, adding an FBS-best 5.25 yards after contact. He also had 23 receptions for 138 yards and another score through the air. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues may want to be worried about the massive volume he had in college, but he should immediately be a starting back in the NFL in his rookie season.

If Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty is available at the Dallas Cowboys' pick at No. 12 in the first round of the NFL draft in April, The Athletic's Jon Machota thinks the Cowboys will select him. Jeanty has ties to Frisco, Texas, and Dallas has an immediate need for an impact RB, making it virtually impossible for owner Jerry Jones to pass him up. The Cowboys are unlikely to make a notable free-agent signing at the position, but it's clear they need to add playmakers on offense and want to emphasize the running game in 2025. The 21-year-old Jeanty is the top RB in this year's deep class at the position after rushing for 2,595 yards and 29 touchdowns on 375 carries in his three seasons with the Broncos. There are question marks about his long-term durability because of his heavy workload in college, but Jeanty is both powerful and elusive and should be a starting RB in the NFL in his rookie season.
