Mike Washington, Jr. had six rushes for -3 yards in the Raiders’ Week 9 loss to the 49ers.
A week after getting 25 rushes, Washington was relegated to six carries in this one, as the Niners raced out to a big lead and never relented. Washington tied Ashton Jeanty for the team lead in rushing attempts. Neither back got it going against a tough 49ers front seven. Washington, who ran five routes against San Francisco, will continue to be a prototypical early-down bruiser who is sensitive to weekly game script. He should be benched in almost every format next week against the brutal Seahawks defense.
