Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Mike Washington Jr.

PodcastMNF Recap + Week 7 Waiver WireOctober 20, 2026

From the episode

the role's been growing over the last couple of weeks...Mike Washington has given them when they're on the field. He has hit the big plays. So I do think he could continue to eat into Ashton Gentry's timeshare...could grow into a bigger role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Washington's role growing; explosive plays suggest timeshare upside if Gentry falters.

Washington's role has been growing over the last couple of weeks and he has delivered explosive plays when on the field, hitting big plays in a way that contrasts with Gentry's plodding style; while he lacks standalone value right now, he is a stash candidate who could continue to eat into Gentry's timeshare and would become a fantasy-relevant starter if Gentry were to get injured.
