A strong preseason and an injury to Ashton Jeanty have vaulted Washington up draft boards. Don't get caught up in the momentum, but feel free to slot him near the top of the RB2 tier.

The ankle injury to Ashton Jeanty moves Washington up the ranks. He has already impressed in the preseason and would become a weekly starter while Jeanty recovers. Realistically, Washington could be a fantasy starter in Weeks 1-4 at minimum.

Provisional move until we get more information on Ashton Jeanty, who's suffered what reports indicate is a potentially serious leg injury.

Washington's preseason has been filled with explosive plays, and the Raiders are woefully thin behind him at running back. Ashton Jeanty's ankle injury opens the door for a startable week or two to open the season.

Washington looks the part as a bell cow running back, but he must learn to run with his pads more effectively and with greater consistency. Washington also fumbled the ball at a rate in college that makes him a potential liability. 

If Washington can improve in these two areas, he could push for playing time as a committee option, and eventually, emerge as a starter with the size/speed to wreak havoc on opposing defenses. 

Ashton Jeanty's knee injury in practice could help Washington make an immediate contribution. While the preseason highlights look good, we've seen this story before with Clyde Edwards Helaire and several others. Washington's liabilities could lead to the Raiders considering other options if Washington's issues crop up early.

His value is largely as a handcuff to Ashton Jeanty, and he may be pressed immediately into service as the Raiders' RB1 with Jeanty's status uncertain.
