Ashton Jeanty's fantasy role in Week 10
Ashton Jeanty goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a locked-in weekly starter at RB for the LV. He is rostered in 99% of leagues and actually started in 86% of them, and we rank him RB18 on our own weekly board at 7.1 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ashton Jeanty (LV RB), our RB18 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 3.9 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 35% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against SEA, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ashton Jeanty (LV RB), our RB18 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 86% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. 7.1 points is roughly 35% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. Facing SEA in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
