STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Washington takes over lead back role from Jeanty with superior rushing efficiency.

After Ashton Jeanty's rushing inefficiency (3.1 yards per carry on 108 carries with five 10+ yard runs and zero 20+ yard runs), Washington took over as lead ball-carrier in Week 8 with 25 carries for 83 yards against the Jets. The Arkansas rookie is averaging 4.3 yards per carry with seven 10+ yard runs and two 20+ yard runs on 65 carries, showing superior efficiency. While neither back has strong success rates, Washington will clearly have a bigger role moving forward after previewing explosiveness in preseason and flashing on limited opportunities through Week 7.
