Ashton Jeanty vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Ashton Jeanty and RJ Harvey for your lineup, you are not alone. Ashton Jeanty finished the 2025 season at 12.8 PPG for the Las Vegas Raiders (17 games), and RJ Harvey averaged 10.8 for the Denver Broncos (17 games).
That 2.0-point weekly advantage for Ashton Jeanty is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both are three-down backs with real passing-game roles. Ashton Jeanty caught 55 balls for 346 yards, and RJ Harvey hauled in 47 for 356. 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.
Ashton Jeanty has his bye in Week 10, and RJ Harvey rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
