Washington's ADP 123 value peaks with Jeanty's ankle injury creating early-season starter upside.

Washington (Yahoo ADP 123) has a chance to be a starter early on because Ashton Jeanty could miss the first section of the season with an ankle sprain. As the clear-cut starter in Week 1, Washington would be worth a flex start in half PPR. He ranked 74th overall by the consensus NFL Draft board and went in the fourth round to the Raiders. He was an explosive rusher at Arkansas, caught 28 passes in his final season, and his NFL Combine performance was unbelievable, comparing closest to Adrian Peterson. His preseason tape has been the best of any running back in the NFL, with both explosive runs showing elite athleticism.
