Yahoo Fantasy Football on Mike Washington Jr.

Washington seized control with 25 carries; unlikely to return to backup role.

Washington took shocking control of the Raiders backfield in Week 8, handling 25 carries while Ashton Jeanty had just two. Though Washington averaged only 3.3 yards per carry versus Jeanty's 3.1 (bottom-five among qualified RBs), Washington's 4.3 yards per carry ranks in the upper half. At 6-foot-2, 228 pounds, Washington is the more prototypically sized back and might be a better pure runner, especially behind a struggling offensive line. The source indicates it's very unlikely Washington goes back to being a distant second to Jeanty after this performance.
