Mike Washington fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

This profile required some warming up to. He was a late breakout and was only an efficient committee member at Arkansas as a redshirt senior, but when Washington had daylight, he was scoring. His (NFL Combine) athleticism is on par with Adrian Peterson, though the rookie has some tightness on tape which held back his broken tackle chances. He can catch the ball but didn't showcase a variety of routes and was up-and-down in pass protection. The Raiders drafted him to be Ashton Jeanty's change-of-pace explosive sidekick and insurance. Washington theoretically could have a couple of usable weeks in a reduced role, but 95% of his value is tied to Jeanty missing time. If that happens, there's no excuse to not beat out Dylan Laube and Chris Collier for bellcow snaps. He should be priced as a decent pure handcuff.
