News: 11 hours agoWashington (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Spin: Washington has barely practiced this week, and it seems like he could be on the wrong side of the questionable tag as a rookie who hasn't seen many practice reps during Week 7 prep. If Washington is unable to gain clearance against Los Angeles, Dylan Laube would likely see increased snaps behind Ashton Jeanty.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Washington was selected by the Raiders in the fourth round of April's draft. He's a big back with terrific speed who lit up the combine with a 4.33 40-yard dash at 6-foot-1, 223 pounds (127 speed score), while also checking in with the longest arms in this rookie RB class. His collegiate efficiency wasn't very good during stops in Buffalo and New Mexico State, but it was better in 2025 -- his lone season at Arkansas -- as he averaged 6.41 yards per carry and 3.62 yards after contact, both of which rank seventh or better in this RB class. He might not be much of an option in the passing game, as his career 4.2 yards per target is the worst in this RB class, but his traits make him an intriguing prospect. Washington will open his career as a clear No. 2 option behind Ashton Jeanty, which makes him an intriguing end-of-bench insurance stash.
