Outlook Ashton Jeanty
Workhorse Volume and Expanded Receiving Role Solidify First-Round Status
Ashton Jeanty enters his sophomore season firmly entrenched as the engine of the Raiders' offense. With rookie backup Mike Washington Jr. spelling him occasionally, Jeanty is locked into heavy touches across all downs. After logging 283 carries and 63 receptions as a rookie, camp reports indicate an even larger emphasis on his pass-catching ability in year two.
Our projections forecast another massive campaign, slotting him for 285 rushing attempts, 1,180 rushing yards, and 11 touchdowns on the ground, alongside 55 receptions for 400 receiving yards. That balanced, multi-dimensional workload provides an exceptional floor paired with high-end RB1 upside.
Draft market sentiment reflects total belief in his role. Jeanty's ADP has held rock-solid at the 10th overall pick all summer. At that price in 1.0 PPR formats, our projections confirm he is a premier cornerstone who delivers great return on investment.

Outlook Luther Burden
Sophomore Breakout Beckons in Chicago's High-Powered Passing Attack
After posting 53 catches for 740 yards as a rookie, Luther Burden enters his second season primed for a major leap in Chicago's evolving offense. Starting opposite Rome Odunze, Burden is slated for heavy perimeter and intermediate usage. Our models project a significant volume climb, forecasting 77 receptions for 965 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets.
A training camp groin strain sidelined him for the preseason, but his mid-August return to running keeps him on track for the opener. Head coach Ben Johnson heavily praised Burden’s explosive playmaking throughout the summer, reinforcing expectations that he will be a primary weapon for Caleb Williams.
Draft market momentum has settled Burden around an ADP of 45 in 1.0 PPR formats following a steady summer climb. While the brief injury pause softened the hype, our projections see a clear value opportunity for a playmaker capable of outperforming his WR3 draft price.
