Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on Mike Washington Jr.

PodcastMNF REAX + Post-Week 5 People’s Panic Meter: Are Love, Jeanty fantasy RB busts?!October 13, 2026

From the episode

Washington is a guy that maybe we were hoping could have some standalone what the heck flex type value. I don't really think that's possible. He's just a really good bench hold if Gentry was to ever miss time

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Handcuff only; no standalone flex value; limited to 2 touches in Week 5.

Washington is a bench hold in case Jeanty misses time but does not have standalone flex value. He is not a passing-down back, so his usage is limited in game scripts where the Raiders fall behind. In Week 5, he had only 2 touches vs. 16 for Jeanty and 7 for Dylan Lobby. Harmon could not figure out why Washington wasn't used more in the first half to give Jeanty a breather.
