Mike Washington Offers High-Upside Stash Value With Expanded Role Looming
Rookie Mike Washington generated significant buzz after dominating the preseason in rushing efficiency, prompting offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to signal an expanding role. Operating as the primary backup behind Ashton Jeanty—who has been dealing with an ankle issue—Washington is firmly entrenched as Las Vegas' next man up.
Currently rostered in 64% of leagues but started in just 2%, fantasy managers are appropriately treating him as a stash. Our weekly projection expects around six carries and 24 rushing yards (5.3 fantasy points). Keep him stashed on your bench this week, though any missed time from Jeanty would provide immediate flex appeal.

Alec Pierce Cleared for Season Opener — Volatile Flex Option Against Baltimore
Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced that Pierce is ready to roll for Week 1 against the Ravens after recovering from offseason ankle and heel surgery. Pierce returned to practice in late August and resumes a starting perimeter role alongside newcomer Keenan Allen. With an official questionable tag still lingering, fantasy managers should check back before kickoff for any late updates on his game-day status.
Although rostered in 97% of leagues, Pierce sits at a modest 22% start rate as managers cautiously assess his workload. Our weekly projection targets around 9.9 fantasy points on nearly six targets and 49 receiving yards. His established deep-threat role provides splash-play ceiling, but potential ramp-up snaps make him a risky flex play.
