From the video
He out carries Ashton Genty 25 to 27 in this game... Mike Washington gets every single goal line carry for the Raiders in this game in week eight against the Jets. He takes all six inside the five carries for the team... Mike Washington Jr. quite clearly among the top pickups this week... there seems to be a very clear path now to standalone value if he continues to maintain a firm grip on the rushing work, even if it's something like a 50/50 split, a 60/40 split, and then could also maintain the goal line work.
STACKED’s take
Top waiver pickup with clear path to standalone value; 25-27 carries and all goal-line work in Week 8
Tyler Algier rates Mike Washington Jr. as a top pickup of the week, identifying a clear path to standalone value if he maintains the rushing work (even at a 50/50 or 60/40 split) and holds the goal-line role. Washington Jr. out-carried incumbent Ashton Genty 25-27 in Week 8 and took all six inside-the-five carries, signaling a potential shift in the Raiders backfield. Algier projects a 50/50 to 60/40 split with Genty moving forward, expecting Washington to average 8-10 carries per game. Previously a high-end handcuff, Washington now has legitimate standalone upside in fantasy lineups despite remaining a zero in the receiving game (sub-20% route rate, no targets).
