Waiver wire add; clearly the RB2 when healthy. Has looked fantastic this season and better than Gentry on early downs, getting outside carries with higher big-play potential versus Gentry's up-the-gut usage. If Gentry suffers an ankle setback or is held out, Washington becomes a pretty good play and close to a must-start.NegativeDepth ChartOct 14, 2026

The source prefers Mike Washington over Jonah Coleman at this pick because Washington will have a role if Saquon Barkley misses games; Washington is the premier handcuff to Barkley and will be heavily used in case of injury, providing more consistent value than Coleman early in the season. The source notes that starting in week six onward, Coleman may become preferable, but Washington's near-term role security makes him the better pick now.PositiveSleeperAug 29, 2026

The source strongly recommends drafting Mike Washington, labeling him an absolute target for late-round picks and suggesting managers reach significantly ahead of ADP to secure him. He is viewed as a key factor in the backfield who allows the team to manage Ashton Jeanty's injury recovery, though he carries risk as he may not start over Chase Brown or Kyren Williams and could face competition if the team signs another back.PositiveSleeperAug 22, 2026
Mike Washington is an interesting prospect with elite speed (4.33 40-yard dash at 223 lbs) who is clearly the best backup to Ashen Genty; he is a recommended final-round handcuff.NegativeUsageNo date
