STACKED’s take
Washington got 25 carries in Week 8; borderline RB2 despite tough 49ers matchup.
Washington received 25 carries in Week 8 compared to just two rushes for Ashton Jeanty, a dramatic shift in workload distribution. Despite being stopped four times at the goal line and averaging 3.3 yards per carry, the Raiders won for the first time in over a month with 38 points. The coaching staff may have been trying to get the attention of the lead back by cutting Jeanty's workload, or may leave things status quo after the big win. Washington's upside is limited by a tough Week 9 matchup against a San Francisco defense that ranks fifth in rushing yards allowed per game and his lack of involvement in the passing game, but potential volume on the ground keeps him ranked around RB25.
