Ashton Jeanty was told before the game that he’d see a role reduction in week 8. He received only 2 carries and 3 targets which resulted in 10 fantasy points and a 22% share of the backfield xfp. A big reason for the role reduction is that Jeanty only averages 3.1 yards per carry on the year which ranks 39th out of 42 running back with at least 50 carries.

Mike Washington Jr took over as the lead rusher in with 22 carries and zero targets on 5 routes. He only scored 8 fantasy points, but he had 21 expected fantasy points which was running back #5 on the week. Washington’s averages 4.3 yards per carry and has a 12% explosive run percentage so that’s a likely reason for his increase in playing time.
