On man and power runs this year, Jeanty is averaging 3.0 yards per carry... Dylan Laube was playing a lot more than usual last week, limiting Jeanty to 53% snaps in the first half.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Jeanty's processing and burst issues limit him to 3.0 YPC on power runs; snap share declining.

Jeanty is not playing fast enough due to ankle and foot injury compounded by a pre-existing processing issue; he struggles with quickly changing direction and bursting through holes. His yards before contact (0.6) this season mirrors last year's problem, and on man and power runs he's averaging only 3.0 yards per carry. He's also dropped too many passes in the pass game, particularly over the middle on fast balls from Kirk Cousins. Dylan Laube played significantly more than usual last week, limiting Jeanty to 53% snaps in the first half, suggesting he's not being used as an elite bellcow back.
