Outlook Mike Washington

Mike Washington at San Francisco — Tough Road Matchup Limits Upside

Mike Washington Jr. is coming off a massive 25-carry workload in Week 8, leading to a recent surge in fantasy rostership up to 58%. However, he remains listed behind Ashton Jeanty in the Raiders' backfield committee, and his efficiency was capped at just 3.3 yards per carry last week without any passing-game involvement.

Facing a formidable 49ers defense as heavy road underdogs, negative game script could quickly limit early-down rushing work. Our models project Washington for roughly 9 carries and 37 rushing yards (5.7 fantasy points). With negligible receiving volume, he is best viewed as a touchdown-dependent depth option this week.

Outlook Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce vs NYJ — Focal Point of Kansas City's Passing Attack at Home

Kelce heads into Sunday completely healthy with no injury designation as Kansas City looks to rebound at Arrowhead Stadium. Operating as the clear lead tight end alongside Patrick Mahomes, he remains heavily involved in the passing attack, drawing 15 targets and tallying 9 receptions for 111 yards over his last two outings.

Our weekly projection points to 4.6 receptions for 59 receiving yards on nearly seven targets (12.7 fantasy points). Facing a struggling 2–6 Jets squad in a matchup with favorable scoring conditions, his steady target floor and red-zone presence make him someone fantasy managers should feel confident slotting into their lineups across all formats.
