Raiders' Mike Washington: Bottled up against Kansas City
Washington rushed nine times for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He added one catch for minus-1 yard on two targets.
Washington's nine carries were his most in a single game to begin the season and came one week after he broke out for 54 yards and a touchdown on five carries against the Saints. The rookie running back closed the gap some on Ashton Jeanty atop the backfield, but Washington didn't do much with his chances against Kansas City. He remains one of the stronger fantasy bench stashes.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Makes most of limited touches
Washington turned five carries into 54 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.
Washington was only on the field for 11 of the team's 70 offensive snaps, but he still left his mark on the contest. Most notably, the running back broke loose for a 36-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter. Washington is a distant No. 2 option behind Ashton Jeanty in the backfield, but he has now rushed 15 times for 102 yards and a touchdown over three contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Three carries in victory
Washington rushed three times for seven yards while failing to catch his only target during Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Washington was far less efficient with his carries in Week 2, averaging 2.3 YPC after he turned seven carries into 41 yards against the Dolphins in the team's regular-season opener. The running back operated as a distant No. 2 option in the backfield, as Ashton Jeanty logged 21 carries for 48 yards while catching four of seven targets for 15 yards. Washington is nothing more than a bench stash option in fantasy leagues at the moment.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Impresses on seven carries in win
Washington rushed seven times for 41 yards in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
After Ashton Jeanty dealt with an ankle sprain for the previous month, it was unclear if the Raiders would dial things back with their star running back. Jeanty went on to handle a full workload, rushing 23 times for 102 yards, while also leading the team in catches and receiving yards with a 6-45-2 line. Washington looked good on his seven chances, but it's clear Jeanty is healthy, making Washington a mere bench stash in fantasy.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Expected to be involved in Week 1 plan
Washington could still play a sizable role Week 1 against the Dolphins, even with Ashton Jeanty (ankle) expected to suit up, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Washington impressed the Raiders' coaching staff in the preseason, during which the rookie fourth-round pick rushed for 168 yards on 23 carries across three games, averaging a robust 7.3 YPC. Jeanty has returned to full practice participation in the week leading up to Sunday's regular-season opener against the Dolphins, but the 2025 first-round pick missed a chunk of practice time due to the ankle injury he suffered Aug. 23. With Jeanty still shaking off the cobwebs, Washington is primed for some added opportunities in his regular-season debut as the Raiders face the Dolphins in a battle between two teams expected to finish near the bottom of the standings this season.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Effective in preseason start
Washington rushed eight times for 49 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Raiders' 18-12 preseason loss to the 49ers on Thursday.
Washington operated as the starting running back due to Ashton Jeanty (ankle) being sidelined and turned in an efficient performance. The rookie fourth-round pick set the tone for his night by quickly churning out 12 yards on the first two plays from scrimmage, and he added 13- and 11-yard gains on Las Vegas' second possession. Washington appears firmly entrenched as the No. 2 back to open the season, but he'd be teed up for a likely Week 1 starting assignment against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 13 if Jeanty is unable to suit up.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Draws praise from coach
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said Tuesday that Washington has "done a great job of growing up real fast," Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Washington was selected by Las Vegas in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft and has already turned heads in the team's first two preseason games, rushing for 119 yards on 15 carries (7.9 YPC) while adding two catches on four targets for 18 yards. The rookie became a hot topic in the fantasy community this past weekend when Ashton Jeanty went down with an ankle injury during practice, though he's nursing a low-ankle sprain and isn't looking at a long-term absence. It appears Jeanty could be ready to face the Dolphins in Week 1, but if the 2025 first-round pick is held out of the regular-season opener, Washington would be the lead candidate to take over No. 1 RB duties for that contest.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Sees extra work after Jeanty injury
Washington took most of the carries after Ashton Jeanty (knee) left Sunday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Washington has been getting rave reviews during the preseason, and the rookie -- who is followed by Dylan Laube, Dare Ogunbowale and Roman Hemby on the depth chart -- presumably will be the next players up should Jeanty miss any time. The extent of Jeanty's injury is not yet known, but the diagnosis will prove pivotal for fantasy players interested in drafting or who have already picked up either Raiders running back.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Takes first-team reps after Jeanty exits practice
Washington took the rest of the first-team RB reps in Sunday's practice after Ashton Jeanty left the session early due to an apparent right knee injury, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.
The Raiders have yet to not provide any further details on the severity of Jeanty's injury, but if the 2025 first-rounder misses any time, Washington's fantasy stock would see a major bump. McFadden notes that Washington, who has had a strong training camp, was alternating starting reps with Jeanty before the injury occurred. Also in the team's backfield depth mix are Dylan Laube, Dare Ogunbowale and Roman Hemby.
