STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Washington elevated to feature back with 25 carries; 3.3 ypc but red zone struggles at 1.2 ypc.

Elevated to feature back role with 25 carries vs Jets (12.5-to-1 carry ratio over Jeanty); 83 yards on 25 carries for 3.3 ypc, comparable to Jeanty's season 3.1 ypc; Raiders' EPA per rush improved 0.11 points and success rate rose 7.2% with Washington as lead back; however, struggles in red zone with 1.2 ypc on 17 attempts for 21 yards inside 20-yard line, viewed as more of a home-run hitter; workload split may continue or vary game-to-game per Kubiak's comments.
