Washington received 25 of 28 running back carries with Ashton Jeanty relegated to the bench in what he said was 'communicated to him before the game.' Jeanty essentially became the team's third-down back.

Washington gets 25 carries with Jeanty benched; short-term flex play in 10-team leagues.

Washington received 25 of 28 running back carries with Ashton Jeanty relegated to the bench as a third-down back; Washington ran 25 times for 83 yards (3.3 yards per carry), which is more yardage than Jeanty has gained as the everydown back since Week 1. While Jeanty's demotion is unlikely to persist, Washington will be a reasonable short-term play and needs to be rostered in 10-team leagues, though the next two weeks feature tough matchups against the 49ers and Seahawks.
