Christian McCaffrey or Ashton Jeanty?
Christian McCaffrey or Ashton Jeanty? Both are RBs. Here is what each man's 2025 season was actually built on, updated Aug 17, 2026.
Christian McCaffrey leads on share of his team's offensive snaps and rushing attempts, and also on receiving expected points added — one side of that is opportunity, the other is efficiency, and they have not historically travelled together.
Ashton Jeanty's edge sits in rushing yards over expected and rushing yards over expected per attempt — efficiency rather than opportunity, and the file measures that as the less repeatable half.
