From the article

he's had 15 rushes for 119 rushing yards to average 7.9 per carry during the preseason, and over 70 percent of his production has come on two carries. That means he's averaging 2.5 ypc if you remove the pair of explosive runs, which isn't consistent enough to take over as the feature back.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Washington's preseason explosiveness masks inconsistency; Jeanty remains the feature back.

The source loves what Washington has done in the first two preseason games as a home-run hitter, but projects him as an eight- to 10-touch-per-game type of guy with hopes of breaking one or two for explosive plays. However, Washington had 15 rushes for 119 yards (7.9 ypc average) in preseason with over 70 percent of production on two carries, meaning he averaged 2.5 ypc excluding those explosive runs—not consistent enough to threaten Ashton Jeanty's feature back role. The source explicitly states Jeanty isn't in danger of losing his job because of two exciting preseason plays.
