Sharp take
Sharp SixStartRight · +4.3 over the lineA 100%-owned top-10 back getting a 'moving target' label from his own coach is not a throwaway line. Jeanty put up 21.6 last week while fading late, and a double-digit road dog spot against San Francisco screams game-script passing downs for him and clock-killing work for Washington. He is still too talented to bench, but this is a stash-the-worry situation, not a start-with-confidence one. Keep him in your lineup and lower expectations, don't chase Washington off waivers for a committee that isn't defined yet.
