Washington outperformed Jeanty (4.9 vs. 2.2 YPC); could add balance.

Washington outperformed rookie starter Ashton Jeanty in Week 7, averaging 4.9 yards on nine carries compared to Jeanty's 2.2 average on 10 carries. After six games, Washington is averaging 3.2 yards per carry compared to Jeanty's 3.2 yards per carry, suggesting he could add balance to an offense that already has a respectable passing attack.
