Raiders' Mike Washington: Unofficial No. 2 back
Washington is listed as the No. 2 running back on the Raiders' unofficial depth chart, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Monday's unofficial depth chart shows that Washington has the edge for the backup role after training camp. The fourth-round rookie is competing with Dylan Laube, Dare Ogunbowale and Roman Hemby to serve as the main complementary option behind Ashton Jeanty. If Washington can continue to impress in practice and preseason, he may be a good fantasy handcuff to Jeanty in 2026. The presence of star center Tyler Linderbaum, who signed as a free agent this offseason, should also benefit any running backs that take snaps for the Raiders during the coming season.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Set to work behind Jeanty
Washington is slated to work behind Ashton Jeanty this season in a Las Vegas backfield that also currently includes Dylan Laube, Chris Collier and Roman Hemby, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.
As a rookie in 2025, Jeanty carried 266 times and caught 55 passes in 17 regular-season games, and new coach Klint Kubiak expects the second-year pro to maintain heavy volume in 2026. With Raheem Mostert and Zamir White no longer in the mix, however, Washington -- who was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft -- has an opportunity to play meaningful snaps this coming season, with McFadden noting that the Arkansas product logged reps with the second team and occasionally with the first-team offense during the Raiders' offseason program. Though Washington doesn't have an immediate path to fantasy lineup utility out of the gate, the 6-foot-2, 228-pounder is a player to keep on the radar in the event that Jeanty misses time for any reason.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Goes to Las Vegas
The Raiders selected Washington in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 122nd overall.
Washington saw limited opportunities at Buffalo and New Mexico State, but he burst onto the scene during his fifth and final year in college at Arkansas. He was named to the All-SEC Second-Team in 2025 after turning 167 carries into 1,070 yards (6.40 YPC) and eight touchdowns while adding 28 catches for 226 yards and a score across 12 games. Washington is a big back with a 6-foot-1, 223-pound frame that he used to full effect as a punishing, downhill runner, which should lead to a fair amount of touches on early downs. Ashton Jeanty is still the lead back for the Raiders, but Washington seemingly brings the thunder to the team's backfield that complements the lightning of Jeanty.
