Jeanty getting two carries while Washington had 25 in New York was meant to serve as a "wake-up call" for the 2025 No. 6 overall pick. Moving forward, I expect Washington to continue having a bigger workload

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Washington's 25-carry workload signals sustained role increase over Jeanty.

Matt Holder reports that Mike Washington received a significant workload increase over Jeanty in the Jets game (25 carries vs. 2), with ESPN's Dan Graziano reporting this was meant as a "wake-up call" or soft benching for Jeanty. Holder notes Washington "didn't run away with the starting job" but the offense "was much better at staying on schedule with him toting the rock." While Holder expects the touches to move closer to 50/50 going forward, Washington is projected to continue having the bigger workload, suggesting a sustained role increase.
