Fantasy Tiers

Ashton Jeanty: Tier 4 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #17 at the position). Tyler Conklin: Unranked TE. Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 4 (Flex/Starter) RB is harder to replace on waivers than an Unranked TE in most league formats.

Ashton Jeanty vs Tyler Conklin: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Ashton Jeanty (RB, Las Vegas Raiders) against Tyler Conklin (TE, New York Jets) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Ashton Jeanty averaged 12.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Tyler Conklin posted 7.5 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Ashton Jeanty has his bye in Week 13, Tyler Conklin in Week 12. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Ashton Jeanty at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Tyler Conklin is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Ashton Jeanty (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Tyler Conklin (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
