Raiders' Mike Washington: Unproductive against Niners
Washington turned six carries into minus-three yards in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.
The rookie running back wasn't targeted in the passing game. One week after getting a trial run as the Raiders' clear lead back, a game in which he failed to produce with 25 carries, Washington was out-snapped 32 to 17 by Ashton Jeanty against San Francisco. Washington has done nothing to suggest he's warranted more carries for Las Vegas. He's averaging just 3.9 yards per carry on 71 totes this season and has shown nothing as a pass catcher. Washington is nothing more than a fantasy bench stash, but the Raiders' rushing attack seems broken as a whole.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Workload breakdown a 'week-to-week' decision
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Wednesday that the breakdown in carries between Washington and Ashton Jeanty will be determined on a week-to-week basis, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, Kubiak said that he "absolutely" believes that Jeanty can be a bell cow running back, but at least for the time being, he looks like he'll be part of a timeshare with Washington. Jeanty has seen his carry count drop or hold steady in each successive game since Week 1, culminating in the 2025 first-round pick logging just two carries in this past Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets, while Washington carried a career-high 25 times for 83 yards. The split in carries may not be quite as dramatic in weeks to come, but Washington appears to have earned himself a sizable piece of the pie while he's averaging 4.3 yards per tote to Jeanty's 3.1 mark through eight games. Jeanty remains the Raiders' clear cut top option on passing downs over Washington, who has recorded just three receptions for 11 yards on six targets so far this season.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Career-high 25 carries in Week 8 win
Washington rushed 25 times for 83 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.
Washington got 25 carries to Ashton Jeanty's two, though Jeanty notched 64 receiving yards on four targets while Washington wasn't involved as a pass catcher. Head coach Klint Kubiak revealed after the game that Jeanty's meager rushing workload was by design, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, though Kubiak added that added that Jeanty is "still going to be a big part of our team" moving forward. Sunday marked the first time Washington has notched double-digit carries in a regular-season game. The rookie fourth-round pick is averaging 4.3 yards per carry compared to Jeanty's 3.1 YPC heading into a Week 9 road game against the 49ers.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Leads team with 27 rushing yards in loss
Washington rushed six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.
Despite dealing with foot and back injuries throughout the practice week, Washington played against Los Angeles and handled his normal workload behind starter Ashton Jeanty. Even though Jeanty again handled more carries, Washington ended up leading the team in rushing yards on a day the Raiders ran for just 48 yards. Washington is pushing Jeanty for more rushing work, but it's not enough at this point to warrant starting the rookie running back in fantasy.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Good to go for Week 7
Washington (foot/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
A limited participant to begin Week 7 prep while managing the pair of injuries, Washington ended up sitting out entirely during practices Thursday and Friday before taking a questionable tag into Sunday. Despite Washington's lack of on-field reps to close out the week, the Raiders weren't compelled to sign or add another running back from their practice squad ahead of the contest, which suggests the rookie will be ready to handle his normal role as the top backup to lead back Ashton Jeanty. Washington has been a productive complement to Jeanty this season, averaging 4.9 yards per carry on 34 totes.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Deemed game-time decision
Washington (foot/back) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Washington managed just one limited session (Wednesday) during Week 7 prep due to foot and back injuries, but a listing of questionable has kept the door open for the rookie fourth-round pick to suit up Sunday. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Washington is inhibited or sidelined, Dylan Laube will be the primary backup to No. 1 RB Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Listed questionable for Sunday
Washington (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
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.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Misses Friday's practice
Washington (foot) was not spotted at Friday's practice, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
With Washington having already been downgraded to a non-participant Thursday, his absence Friday casts more doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams. Dylan Laube could be in line for more backfield work behind Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Downgraded to DNP on Thursday
Washington (foot/back) downgraded to DNP on Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
After being limited in Wednesday's practice, Thursday's downgrade is an ominous sign for Washington's availability Sunday against the Rams. If the rookie running back is unable to play, Ashton Jeanty and Dylan Laube would be in line to handle most of the backfield work for Las Vegas.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Looks set to miss Thursday's practice
Washington (foot/back) wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
After taking limited reps Wednesday due to a pair of injuries, Washington looks like he'll be downgraded to a non-participant for the Raiders' second practice of Week 7. Washington will likely need to get back on the field Friday in some capacity to put himself on a path to play Sunday versus the Rams. In the event the rookie fourth-round pick is unable to suit up this weekend, starter Ashton Jeanty could be forced to take on a heavier workload out of the backfield, while Dylan Laube would step in as the top complementary option.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Limited Wednesday
Washington (foot/back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Around The NFL reports.
It's the first time this season Washington has been listed on the injury report, and it's unclear if his injuries are anything notable or just some general soreness. The rookie running back logged a season-high 34.8 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills, and he matched his season high with nine carries. Washington has appeared to be closing the gap some on Ashton Jeanty atop the depth chart, as Jeanty has been extremely inefficient with his rushing attempts this season.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Leads team in rushing in loss
Washington rushed nine times for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.
After touching the ball just two times in Week 5 against New England, Washington ended up leading the Raiders in rushing against Buffalo. His nine carries were just one fewer than Ashton Jeanty, though Jeanty remained a fixture in the passing game, seeing six targets. Washington remains one of the better fantasy bench stashes, as Jeanty continues to play at less than 100 percent health.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Only two touches in Week 5 loss
Washington logged a five-yard carry and caught his lone target for five yards during the Raiders' 45-17 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Ashton Jeanty ended up being cleared to play Sunday after working through ankle and foot injuries during Week 5 prep, so Washington operated in his usual rotational role. He ended playing one five offensive snaps, well behind Jeanty (45) and Dylan Laube (23), so Washington's grip on the RB2 role seems to have weakened. The Raiders will return home for their next two games, starting with a Week 7 tilt against the Bills on Oct. 18.
