Ashton Jeanty is poised for a Week 1 breakout with a projected 20-25 touches for Las Vegas, aided by an improved offensive line and a passing threat from Geno Smith. The rookie is viewed as the lead back, with Zamir White spelling him for a handful of carries. The setup signals high early-season trust and strong fantasy upside.

Week 1 against New England tests that upside, as the Patriots reshaped their run defense after 2024. If Vegas can leverage the pass, Jeanty’s workload could remain heavy, making him a must-start in standard leagues and a viable focal point in PPR formats. White provides a safe floor behind him.
