Ashton Jeanty vs Zack Moss: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Ashton Jeanty and Zack Moss is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Las Vegas Raiders running back put up 12.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Zack Moss of the Cincinnati Bengals averaged 10.0 in 14. A 2.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.8 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.

Ashton Jeanty is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 55 targets into 346 yards, while Zack Moss profiles as a more traditional rusher with 685 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Ashton Jeanty carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

One scheduling note: Ashton Jeanty is off Week 13 and Zack Moss Week 12. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Ashton Jeanty (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Zack Moss (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
