Availability
Mike Washington Jr. rushed the ball three times for seven yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Washington saw a decrease in opportunities on Sunday, falling to just three touches after having seven in the season opener a week ago. He isn't a big part of this offense right now and shouldn't be rostered in most league formats for the foreseeable future.
Mike Washington Jr. carried the ball seven times for 41 yards in the Raiders' 27-13 Week 1 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
Washington Jr. was impactful operating behind Ashton Jeanty in the Las Vegas backfield, averaging 5.9 yards per carry in the win. The running back will look to continue to offer impactful touches as the primary handcuff to Jeanty in the Las Vegas backfield moving forward, with a Week 2 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers up next.
The Raiders signed RB Mike Washington Jr. to his rookie contract.
Fantasy Impact
Washington was snagged by Las Vegas in round four this year. He impressed at the NFL Combine with his speed which he'll look to use to compliment Ashton Jeanty. Washington’s $5.36 million deal includes $1.1 million in guarantees.
The Las Vegas Raiders have selected RB Mike Washington Jr. with the No. 122 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Washington is finally off the board early on Day 3. The big knock on him during his collegiate career was ball security, but he holds the speed and big play upside to have a chance of being an immediate difference maker. He will compete for a depth role in the Raiders backfield behind Ashton Jeanty.
