Take a shot on Mike Washington just in case. Cause yeah, I, I do think that if anything ever happened to Gentry, he would be one of those high end running back pickups off the waiver wire.

Take a late-round shot on Washington as a high-upside handcuff

Matt Harmon ranks Washington in the same territory as other late-round running backs and suggests taking a shot on him at the end of drafts. He views Washington as a high-end waiver wire pickup if anything happens to Gentry, noting his elite athleticism comparable to Adrian Peterson.
