Mike Washington carried 25 times for 83 yards last week in the Raiders' 38-33 win over the Jets and was not targeted in the passing game. Ashton Jeanty had two carries for two yards but had 3-64-0 receiving. Washington had averaged 4.9 yards per carry before his inefficient rushing day last week. He also failed to get into the end zone on a couple of goal-line carries. The question is whether Jeanty's loss of early-down work was a demotion, or a short-term punishment for Jeanty's disparaging remarks about the Jets' tackling in the days before the game. I'm ranking Jeanty as a high-end RB3 in half-point PPR, Washington as a midrange RB3.

STACKED’s take

Washington's inefficient game and unclear workload split create Week 9 uncertainty.

Carried 25 times for 83 yards last week in Raiders' 38-33 win over Jets with zero targets; had averaged 4.9 yards per carry before inefficient rushing day; failed to get into end zone on couple of goal-line carries; workload split with Ashton Jeanty unclear for Week 9; ranked as midrange RB3 in half-point PPR; source would feel nervous about playing either Washington or Jeanty against 49ers run defense ranked second in EPA per rush and fourth in DVOA.
