Washington leads Raiders in yards per carry and contact metrics; Kubiak vows more reps.

Washington has produced 125 yards and a touchdown on 25 regular-season carries, averaging 5.0 yards per carry with a team-high 35-yard run. More significantly, he leads the Raiders in yards before contact (2.3) and yards after contact (2.7) per rush, both team highs. Despite this efficiency, he received only one carry against New England. Head coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged accountability for Washington's lack of playing time, saying "it's on me" to ensure the rookie gets more reps moving forward.
