Mike Washington "Is Going to be a Thing in Fantasy Football"
The Las Vegas Raiders are optimistic about the health of running back Ashton Jeanty, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports, but that doesn't mean backup running back Mike Washington will take a back seat this season. Rapoport says Washington "is going to be a thing this year, not just in real football, in fantasy football as well." Rapoport went on to say "he for sure is going to be a weapon in Las Vegas." Washington stands out as a sleeper pick even if Jeanty does return to full health. Washington finished this preseason with 168 rushing yards on 23 carries for 7.3 yards per rush. Jeanty is recovering from a low ankle sprain that looked a little bit worse to teammates at the time. But now it looks like Jeanty is considered day-to-day with the injury. He is a top of the line running back but it seems as if Washington is carving out a role for himself in Las Vegas this season.
