Rachaad White at San Francisco — Potential Touch Boost in a Tough Road Matchup
White logged a full practice and carries a probable designation despite a lingering shoulder issue, clearing him for action. While listed behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt on the depth chart, Croskey-Merritt missed practice on Thursday with a groin injury, which could open up additional opportunities for White in Washington's backfield rotation.
Even with potential volume expansion, efficiency remains a question mark on the road against an undefeated 49ers squad. Our models project White for roughly six carries, 25 rushing yards, and a couple of catches for around 5 fantasy points. Started in just 14% of leagues, he is best reserved for the bench or deep-league flex consideration.

Chig Okonkwo at SF — Expanding Target Share in a Favorable Scoring Environment
Fully removed from the hamstring injury that sidelined him earlier, Okonkwo has reclaimed his starting role atop Washington's tight end depth chart. After drawing six targets for 60 yards last week, head coach Dan Quinn emphasized getting the athletic tight end back into the offensive flow. With wideout Stefon Diggs battling a hamstring issue, Okonkwo could see an expanded intermediate role.
Facing the undefeated 49ers on the road in a projected high-scoring environment should force Washington into a pass-heavy script. Our weekly projection expects around 7.1 fantasy points on roughly three catches for 30 yards. With minimal fantasy rostership, Okonkwo profiles as a sneaky streaming candidate or deep-league play with upside if target volume holds.
