Washington ran for 24 yards and a touchdown on six carries, while adding two receptions for 21 yards during Saturday's 14-3 win against Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Washington's stock in Oakland has been fading ever since his rookie season of 2016. The Raiders invested a fifth-round pick in the Texas Tech product, and he seemed to have a future with the franchise after rushing for 5.4 yards per attempt and racking up 582 scrimmage yards as Oakland made its first playoff appearance in 14 years. Over the past two seasons, however, Washington has seen his carries dip from 87 to 57 to 30, while his per-rush average has decreased to 3.1 yards per attempt. With Josh Jacobs, Doug Martin and Jalen Richard all currently ahead of him on the depth chart, Washington aims to continue producing this preseason so he can secure a spot on the active roster for a fourth straight year -- an outcome that remains possible but far from a foregone conclusion at this point.

Washington is part of a position group that includes Josh Jacobs, Jalen Richard, Doug Martin and Chris Warren, Ed Graney of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs and Richard are locked in for two spots, while Martin seems to have good odds after finishing last season with a pair of 100-yard rushing performances. The wild card is Warren, who made some noise last summer as an undrafted rookie before a preseason knee injury allowed the Raiders to stash him on injured reserve. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, Washington appears limited to competing for a role as Richard's backup on passing downs. There are better darts to throw in the closing stages of fantasy drafts.

Washington rushed for 30 yards on four carries during Sunday's 35-3 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Washington was dealt a quartet of carries despite playing only seven offensive snaps during Sunday's blowout loss, having been essentially uninvolved on offense since Week 14. His underwhelming third season in the league comes to an end with 30 carries for 115 yards and one catch on one target for nine yards in 10 games. The addition of Doug Martin behind original starter Marshawn Lynch (groin) was certainly a drawback in terms of Washington's output, while fellow backup Jalen Richard handled the pass-catching duties out of the backfield. Washington has one year left on his affordable rookie deal with the Raiders, who could be in search of a new starter in 2019.

Washington logged one carry for minus-1 yard Monday in the Raiders' 27-14 win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders held a 17-point lead at halftime and were thus able to lean heavily on the ground game throughout the night, but it didn't result in increased involvement for Washington. The third-string running back was on the field for just five snaps and actually logged three fewer carries than tight end Derek Carrier. Expect Washington to be an afterthought in the game plan in the season finale Sunday in Kansas City so long as the top two options out of the backfield, Doug Martin and Jalen Richard, are both available for the contest.

Washington rushed for one yard on his lone carry during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Washington has now been held to a single-digit offensive snap count for four consecutive games as Doug Martin and Jalen Richard continue to lead the Raiders' backfield during Marshawn Lynch's (groin) absence. Washington's limited volume in the offense figures to remain a hindrance to his potential fantasy value again in Week 16 against the Broncos.

Washington rushed for seven yards on three carries and lost a fumble in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Washington earned a minuscule six offensive snaps and was ineffective during his limited action with an average of 2.3 yards per carry. Meanwhile, fellow running backs Doug Martin and Jalen Richard combined for 193 yards of total offense on 29 touches. Washington's role figures to remain restricted in Week 14 against a Steelers defense that has done a solid job of holding opposing backfields in check.

Washington rushed for eight yards on three carries and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Washington was dealt a season high 12 carries in the Raiders' Week 11 win over the Cardinals, but saw his role reduced Sunday as starter Doug Martin was able to play through a minor ankle injury. Washington's fantasy value also continues to be limited by pass-catching complement Jalen Richard, who has seen at least four targets in nine straight games. Oakland is now slated to host a Chiefs defense that is giving up 5.0 yards per carry.

Head coach Jon Gruden said the Raiders will try to get Washington more involved during the final six games of the season, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington matched his career-high in rushing attempts (12) during Sunday's victory over Arizona thanks in large part to Doug Martin going down with an ankle injury late in the first half. While Martin isn't expected to be dealing with anything severe, it's possible the veteran may need to miss games, which could set the stage for Washington to serve as Oakland's lead back on early downs in the short term. However, even with a hefty workload potentially on tap, the third-year tailback won't be an advisable fantasy option in Week 12 against a Ravens defense allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game in 2018.

Washington rushed 12 times for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Active for just the fourth time in 2018, Washington doubled up his rushing attempts total from his prior three appearances. The increased workload was owed almost entirely to starting tailback Doug Martin sitting out the entire second half with an ankle injury, with scatback Jalen Richard (11 carries, three receptions) also benefiting from a spike in touch total as well. Per Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Martin is scheduled to undergo further evaluation Monday, which should shed light on his availability for the Raiders' next game Week 12 against the Ravens. If the injury forces Martin to miss time, Washington would have a good shot at maintaining a double-digit carry count, though as the more dynamic runner and pass catcher, Richard would likely be the more appealing fantasy commodity of the two healthy backs.

Washington rushed for four yards on one carry in Sunday's 42-28 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Washington made an appearance on just two offensive snaps during his 2018 season debut, while fellow running backs Doug Martin and Jalen Richard combined for 25 total touches. Both Martin and Richard averaged more than five yards per carry, so expect another limited role for Washington in Week 9 against the 49ers on Thursday night.
