Material change since Thursday: the Friday Oct 9 league roundup reports Ashton Jeanty (ankle, foot) did not practice at all Friday and is questionable against New England, a downgrade from the limited session he took Thursday after practicing fully Wednesday; the roundups carry date-only timestamps. Washington is the listed No. 2 and would carry the early-down load, with Dylan Laube in the receiving role and Chris Collier on injured reserve. Washington is usually available on the wire and is the clearest buy-low on this slate. Confidence is lifted from last night but still capped, because Jeanty has played through this ankle since August and carries only a questionable tag rather than being ruled out. Redraft: add Washington now. Dynasty: Jeanty remains the franchise back.

This is a shared backfield: the preferred stash is not a promise of all the replacement touches.
