Ashton Jeanty vs Justice Hill: The Full Breakdown

Ashton Jeanty and Justice Hill are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Las Vegas Raiders running back averaged 12.8 PPG in 2025, a full 6.7 points per game ahead of Justice Hill's 6.1 with the Baltimore Ravens. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

Ashton Jeanty carries a 6.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

In PPR and half-PPR formats Ashton Jeanty carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 13 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Ashton Jeanty at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Justice Hill is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Ashton Jeanty (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Justice Hill (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
