Ashton Jeanty vs Rachaad White: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Ashton Jeanty and Rachaad White is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Las Vegas Raiders running back put up 12.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Rachaad White of the Washington Commanders averaged 7.2 in 17. A 5.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.6 points favors Ashton Jeanty, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both are three-down backs with real passing-game roles. Ashton Jeanty caught 55 balls for 346 yards, and Rachaad White hauled in 40 for 218. That receiving workload gives them high PPR floors even in games where the ground attack gets stuffed, and it is why both stay on the field in obvious passing situations.
One scheduling note: Ashton Jeanty is off Week 10 and Rachaad White Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
