Ashton Jeanty is “still on the mend” from his ankle injury, with Raiders HC Klint Kubiak offering no meaningful update while saying the team is counting on its RB1 for Week 1. That is not exactly a medical clearance, and fantasy managers may not get a definitive answer until Las Vegas begins Week 1 preparations.

 

Meanwhile, rookie Mike Washington has turned 23 preseason carries into 168 yards and 7.3 yards per carry, putting himself on the contingency radar if Jeanty cannot go. Jeanty remains the prize, but Washington is becoming the insurance policy worth drafting before the injury news forces his price higher. PlayerProfiler currently has Jeanty as RB3 while Mike Washington climbs to RB31.
