Positive signalUsage

Washington gets 25 carries in massive usage shift; could earn early-down edge in timeshare.

Washington earned a massive usage shift in Week 8, receiving 25 carries to Ashton Jeanty's 2 and logging 38 snaps to Jeanty's 22. The source notes Washington has been the more explosive and efficient player on the ground all year long, warranting more carries. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated the change was his call and that the Raiders wanted to give Washington more opportunities. The source projects Washington could get the edge on early downs going forward, with the backfield potentially resembling Pittsburgh's or Minnesota's timeshare model, which would vault Washington into weekly FLEX consideration in competitive games.
