Positive signalRole

Rookie Washington positioned for red zone opportunity increase under Kubiak.

Rookie running back for the Raiders expected to share backfield duties with Ashton Jeanty. The source identifies Washington as part of the solution to the Raiders' rushing touchdown problem; the team ranked last in the NFL in rushing TDs as a percentage of total offensive touchdowns (37.5%). Kubiak's mandate is to get both Washington and Jeanty into the red zone at a higher rate, and his prior success as Seattle's offensive coordinator (eighth-highest rushing TD percentage) suggests the Raiders' ground game efficiency should improve in 2026.
