Change of pace doesn't have to mean change of talent. The best offenses have enough depth at RB to be able to rest their starter a bit so they aren't dragging ass and ineffective by the end of the game.

Blitz pick up/pass blocking also something to consider. I can’t recall how Jenkins did there last year. Feature backs have to be able to get in the way of a 240 lb backer occasionally. Watson improved a lot there. Jenkins you gotta get the ball in his hands 15+ times a game minimum though.
Another thing that can be done on a limited basis is the uncommon, semi rare, occasional 2 RB in backfield, where sometimes you pass out of that formation, and sometimes you run.
That way if pass out of formation, and you have both Watson and Jenkins in, and if Jenkins is not as good a blocker, then Watson and Jenkins both can pass block out of that formation.
I would say that both Watson and Jenkins should get about 11,12,13 hand offs, each,and about 5,6,7 pass targets each, for a total of about 23 hand offs and 11 pass targets.
