Mike Washington Jr.

Last year you saw way more bursts and explosiveness where you're not seeing that right now.

So you're not worried too much about Mike Washington stealing carries outside of the short term? Outside of the short term?

No, I think we've nailed Mike Washington the whole way.

Good change of pace back.

That's what they

I've been a high on Jinty all year, but weeks 5 and 6 gave us two straight games of his roll dipping a little bit, his snap rate dipping into that 50% to 60% range.

And, um, it was various reasons as to why one week it was Mike Washington splitting the work more evenly.

The other week it was game script falling behind Dylan lobby, getting the passing down stuff.

Um, that was enough to spook me a little bit on a player who's clearly not a hundred percent healthy because a lot of the, the reasoning for placing a bet on Jinty, um, without any certainty as to where he's at with his health or where he'll be with his health or his efficiency at any point, is then on volume.

Dowdle could have five-plus catches per game.

That sounds insane, but if it's just Dowdle in this backfield, he could be a top-12 fantasy running back.

I've got Dylan Sampson, Seth McGowan, Indianapolis Colts, Kalon Black, Mike Washington, Samaj Pirine, Brian Robinson, and Keaton Mitchell behind Rashad White, rounding out the top 50.

So pretty good stuff from Dylan Sampson right away.

Not sure how much long term dynasty value he's got.

I mean, I know you and I both like Emma Johnson and Mike Washington Jr. for what they're worth as handcuffs.

those guys are both right next to him as, as far as dynasty value goes in that range.

And quite frankly, it's just barring any injury.

He's obviously going to be in our lineup against the Jets here.

Mike Washington, unfortunately, just not getting anywhere near enough run to be lineup viable.

Next up, we got Cleveland at Pittsburgh.

So it was a 39 and a half point total low scoring game.

I'm so over this channel.

Would you drop around the rest of the season, Mike Washington, J.K. Dobbins? I think it's tough to drop Dobbins right now, but I'll be honest with you.

I think Mike Washington has more upside as we get to the end.

Cortez, Emo Joe, my tight ends have left me like my soul.

See, Cortez, like, understands, okay? Where to go, Tyler Higby or Chigakonkwo? I'm going to go with Chigakonkwo and hope for the best.

they need a run game and it's, it's surprising that they're not running the ball more effectively with, with Kubiak calling the plays with having two good running backs too.

And Jinty and Mike Washington, I think like when you go in and you're watching those games that stands out.

And then every week when like, I'm trying to put together winners and losers and I'm like, the Raiders have less than 50 rushing yards again.

I'm like, that's a huge problem.

I was not super high on Jadarian Price last year.

I had Mike Washington RB2, Jonah Coleman RB3 last year.

I'm not a Lacey guy, but I still think I'd probably, if we're slating Lacey into like last year's class, probably still rv2 jane ball definitely rv2 in last year's class um and then i still have some work to do on some of these other guys but that's probably what i'd say hollywood smothers probably rv2 in last year's class too for me like there's like I thought that the drop-off from Jeremiah Love to Mike Washington was pretty steep.

Again, the third overall player and then the 56th overall player for me on my board was the drop-off from RB1 to RB2.

It's definitely more condensed this year, for sure.

No back in this class that I would take over Jeremiah Love, but I would take Jaden Ball over Jadarian Price.

I would take Jaden Ball over Mike Washington.

So that's where I'm at with that, for sure.

I couldn't get him.

So I was actually trying to get him before I got Seth McGowan and Mike Washington.

So I was trying to get James.

I was like, okay, that's who I want.

And that's kind of what we built our, you know, our relationship on, just trust and just being honest with him.

And he saw the success that other guys have kind of been here that I kind of been with.

You know, he saw Mike Washington, he saw Seth.

He actually played against Seth at JUCO.

It's been below 60%, as low as 47% in week seven.

Mike Washington is starting to cut into his early down work.

I don't know if he's if you've seen that, but that's one of the reasons why, because week eight is against the Jets, which is a decent on paper, but the declining early down roll with him, I feel like you need to put him on the bench this week until you see his usage start to go back up again.

And Washington has not taken those.
