From the episode

I just didn't think that necessarily if Ashton Gentry went down, that Washington would be the for sure guy in that backfield.
Mentioned at 11:45 – 19:03

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Washington is a fade due to poor advanced metrics and backfield competition.

JJ Zachariason is underweight on Washington (under 8% exposure) because he doubts Washington would become a bell-cow back even if Gentry were injured. Despite a strong combine and positive ZAP model draft capital, Washington's advanced metrics—such as 12th percentile avoided tackles and 22nd percentile explosive run rate—are concerning, and he faces competition from Dylan Lowby for pass-catching work.
