Mike Washington at NYJ — Complementary Role Limits Standalone Value
After managing foot and back injuries that made him a game-time decision in Week 7, Washington suited up to log six carries for 27 yards against the Rams. The rookie operates as the clear RB2 behind Ashton Jeanty in Las Vegas' backfield rotation, combining for 15 rushing attempts over his last two appearances.
Rostered in 31% of leagues but started in only 2%, Washington offers very little standalone value. Our weekly projections anticipate around 26 rushing yards on five to six carries against the Jets, leaving him with an uphill climb for fantasy relevance. Lacking substantial receiving work, he should remain parked on fantasy benches unless Jeanty is sidelined.

Outlook Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter vs. Texans in London — Defensive Focus Caps Offensive Fantasy Value
Hunter's rare two-way deployment has tilted heavily toward defense. Operating as Jacksonville's starting perimeter cornerback and listed as a backup slot receiver, his offensive snaps have dried up as the coaching staff prioritizes his lockdown coverage. With fellow cornerback Montaric Brown ruled out, the Jaguars need Hunter on defense in London against Houston.
For standard fantasy managers, Hunter cannot be trusted in starting lineups. Our weekly projection forecasts just 4.8 points—driven purely by defensive tackles rather than any offensive involvement, projecting zero receptions and zero rush attempts. His roster rate has tumbled to 17%, making him an easy sit until he sees consistent snaps at wide receiver.
