Maybe this was a little early for a handcuff, but with Ashton Jeanty dealing with an ankle sprain, I felt like this was a solid pick. We never really know how long ankle injuries can linger, and Washington showed plenty of explosiveness during the preseason. In a Kubiak offense, I'll gladly take a shot on an explosive running back who could be one injury away from a major workload. At worst, he's a handcuff I can move on from. At best, this could turn into a league-winning value if Jeanty misses extended time.
