FantasyPros Articles on Mike Washington Jr.
From the article
Fourth-round rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. has been sharp in each of the Raiders' first two exhibition games. After rushing six times for 63 yards and breaking off a 53-yard run in the Raiders' preseason opener vs. the Cardinals, Washington had nine carries for 56 yards Thursday against the Texans, along with two catches for 18 yards. Washington has established himself as the undisputed backup to Ashton Jeanty, and Jeanty investors might now consider Washington a mandatory handcuff now that Jeanty's Week 1 status is in doubt.
STACKED’s take
Washington is Jeanty's undisputed backup and mandatory handcuff after strong preseason.
Fourth-round rookie RB has been sharp in both Raiders preseason games: six carries for 63 yards with a 53-yard run in Week 1, then nine carries for 56 yards plus two catches for 18 yards in Week 2 against Houston. Washington has established himself as the undisputed backup to Ashton Jeanty and is now a mandatory handcuff given Jeanty's Week 1 status uncertainty. At the Combine, Washington clocked 4.33 in the 40-yard dash at 6-1, 223 pounds with a 39-inch vertical, showing an appealing size-speed combination, though his college advanced metrics (particularly missed tackles forced) were uninspiring and he has a light resume as a pass catcher and pass blocker.
