Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Mike Washington Jr.

VideoAshton Jeanty Questionable, Lamar Jackson OUT, Malik Nabers Good to Go: Friday...October 9, 2026

From the video

If we do get no Ashen Genty, though, guys, Mike Washington does become an arguable top 12 running back for me. Maybe he's going to be closer to 15, but I really would be excited about playing Mike Washington in the spot.

If Jeanty out, becomes top-12 RB; clear backup with route-running upside

If Ashton Jeanty is unavailable, Mike Washington becomes an arguable top-12 running back for Ian Hartitz, possibly closer to RB15. Washington is the clear backup with Dylan Lob serving primarily as a special teamer; Washington also took routes away from Lob in preseason. Hartitz is tempted to rank Washington as RB11 and would play him ahead of Cam Akers and Aaron Jones.
