Does Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. have the potential to be a starting-caliber fantasy football player in 2026? Washington will handle backup running back responsibilities in Las Vegas next season, and his size and skills suggest that he may be able to produce statistically, even while playing behind Ashton Jeanty.
Pro Football Focus listed the fourth round rookie as a late-round fantasy football sleeper option at the running back position with the potential to be a productive secondary back in Las Vegas.
”Washington is a big 6-foot-2, 228-pound back out of Arkansas. The only halfbacks that size on NFL rosters are Derrick Henry and Adam Randall of the Baltimore Ravens . He has strong straight-line speed as a power runner, and his PFF rushing grades improved every season in college.”
Washington went for 1,070 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns at Arkansas last season. He added 226 receiving yards to his body of work for the year. Washington has the potential to be a great change-of-pace back behind Jeanty and garner carries near the goal line.
The 23-year-old running back has the size, versatility and upside to turn into a valuable player for fantasy football team managers in 2026. His potential may show itself once he gets a few games under him, and he may garner consideration for starts against favorable matchups next season.
