Fantasy Life Articles on Mike Washington Jr.
From the article
the Raiders turned to rookie Mike Washington as the clear lead running back, giving him 25 carries to Ashton Jeanty's 2. Washington has been the more explosive and efficient player on the ground all year long, warranting more carries
STACKED’s take
Washington takes lead-back role with 25 carries; could be weekly FLEX in split-back model.
The source reports that rookie Mike Washington was given the clear lead running back role in Week 8, receiving 25 carries to Ashton Jeanty's 2 and logging 38 snaps to Jeanty's 22. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated the change was his call and that Washington has been the more explosive and efficient player on the ground all year long, warranting more carries. The source projects that Washington could get the edge on early downs going forward, with the backfield potentially resembling Pittsburgh's or Minnesota's split-back model, which would vault Washington into weekly FLEX consideration, though preferably in games where the Raiders are leading or competitive.
