Rookie RB with 125 yards on 25 carries (5.0 YPC) and the Raiders' lone rushing TD; leads team with 2.3 yards before contact and 2.7 yards after contact per rush. Head coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged underutilization, saying 'it's on me' to get Washington more reps after getting just one carry against New England; source notes he 'looks natural' in gap scheme and is 'a big play waiting to happen' if Kubiak unleashes him.
