Washington gets 25 of 28 carries with Jeanty benched; needs roster spot in 10-team leagues.

Washington received 25 of 28 running back carries with Ashton Jeanty relegated to the bench and relegated to third-down back role. Washington ran 25 times for 83 yards (3.3 yards per carry), which is more yardage than Jeanty has gained as the everydown back since Week 1. While Jeanty won't remain the third-down back long-term, Washington will be a reasonable short-term play and needs to be rostered in 10-team leagues, though the next two weeks against the 49ers and Seahawks present murky matchups.
