Washington as the clear-cut starter in Week 1 would be worth a flex start in half PPR. He ranked 74th overall by the consensus NFL Draft board and went in the fourth round to the Raiders. His NFL Combine performance was unbelievable, comparing closest to Adrian Peterson. His preseason tape has been the best of any running back in the NFL.

Washington's Week 1 starter upside and elite preseason tape offer flex value.

Washington (Yahoo ADP 123) has a chance to be a starter early because Ashton Jeanty could miss the first section of the season with an ankle sprain occurring about three weeks from kickoff. As the clear-cut starter in Week 1, Washington would be worth a flex start in half PPR. He ranked 74th overall by the consensus NFL Draft board and went in the fourth round to the Raiders. He was an explosive rusher at Arkansas, caught 28 passes in his final season, and his NFL Combine performance compared closest to Adrian Peterson. His preseason tape has been the best of any running back in the NFL, and even if Jeanty returns early, his injury risk would be amongst the highest in the NFL.
