By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, May 23rd 2026, 7:20pm EDT

Mike Washington Jr. could help Ashton Jeanty with the early down lifting in 2026 and slot in as one of the best handcuffs in the NFL. Washington Jr. tested like an alien during the predraft process, leading to his fourth-round draft capital. During his final collegiate season, Washington Jr. broke out, ranking 33rd in yards after contact per attempt and 17th in breakaway rate (per PFF). Washington Jr. has blistering 4.3 speed and the size (6'1", 223 lbs) to be a three-down back if called upon. Stash him as a wonderful handcuff in 2026, where you can.
