The Facts:
Speaking at the NFL owner's meeting in Florida on Tuesday, HC Rex Ryan addressed Washington's likely role. "What we should do with [Washington], in my opinion, is put him back to his role which he had initially, which is third-down back, a change-of-pace type back, and a Pro Bowl returner," the coach explained.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT suggested, it makes sense to work Washington, who is coming off a season-ending broken leg suffered last November, back into the mix slowly. But suggesting a more limited role behind Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson might also be meant as a message to Washington and his agent in order to lower their contract expectations.
