From the article

Jeanty played 74% of the first three drives in Weeks 1-3, then 43% last week. It's very clear that Jeanty isn't just their best pass-catching back but he's someone Kubiak wants to design touches for in the pass game. He's the RB5 in receptions per game (4.8). That said, Jeanty's rushing numbers and overall efficiency have been middling. He's turned RB3 overall usage into RB10 production, and his -4.4 fantasy points over expectation are the worst in the league per my model.

Jeanty's snap share declining; elite pass-game role masks middling rushing efficiency.

Jeanty's snap share has declined from 74%, 81%, 84% in Weeks 1-3 to 67% in Week 4, signaling potential role management by HC Klint Kubiak. Jeanty is the RB5 in receptions per game (4.8) with some targets further down the field, indicating Kubiak wants to design touches for him in the pass game. However, his rushing numbers and overall efficiency have been middling; he has turned RB3 overall usage into RB10 production with -4.4 fantasy points over expectation (worst in the league per the model). He is below average in missed tackles forced and explosives. This role change is as much as he can afford to remain a weekly top-10 back.
