What isn't settled
Nobody has said whether this is a one-week game plan or a new pecking order. Kubiak described the decision as his and kept the door open for Jeanty, but he did not give a reason or say what the split looks like next week. A win also makes it easier for a staff to stick with what worked.
What RSO owners should do now
Jeanty owners should not panic-sell. He is young, on a rookie deal that runs for years, and still drew four targets on limited snaps. His trade value just dipped, though, so if you are shopping for a running back, this is the week to ask about him.
If Washington is on your waiver wire, add him. Twenty-five carries is a lead-back workload, and contract-league owners can get him at a minimum salary while the role sorts itself out.
What to watch next
Watch Kubiak's Monday and Wednesday press conferences for any explanation, the early-down snap split in next week's game, and whether Jeanty's receiving role grows to make up for fewer carries.
