Kubiak didn't just switch the Raiders' lead running back between rookie Mike Washington Jr. and second-year pro Ashton Jeanty; he turned Washington into the feature back with 25 carries and made Jeanty the third-down option with just two carries and three catches.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Washington elevated to feature back with 25 carries; Raiders' rushing efficiency improved with him as lead.

Elevated to feature back role by Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak in Week 8 against the Jets with 25 carries, a dramatic shift from prior usage; Kubiak indicated workload splits will vary game-to-game based on performance and team needs, but Washington's 83 yards on 25 carries (3.3 ypc) was comparable to Jeanty's season average of 3.1 ypc, and the Raiders' EPA per rush improved 0.11 points and success rate on ground improved 7.2% with Washington as lead back.
