Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington was given lead back duties last week versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He rushed 13 times for 35 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards through the air. Washington was used as the lead back since Miami really didn't have an other options for this game. Luckily, Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is trending towards playing in the Week 15 matchup versus the New England Patriots. His presence would basically eliminate any value Washington had left. Regardless, Washington would be a risky option to start for Week 15.
Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington was the last man standing in the backfield for this team. Myles Gaskin was placed on the COVID-19 list prior to game time, which meant Washington was forced into a starting role. The rest of the Dolphins backfield is injured, so Washington saw significant touches in Week 14. He rushed 13 times for 35 yards and caught two receptions for 17 yards in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It's unlikely that Washington carries enough value to warrant rostering him next week. The New England Patriots have a strong defense and Myles Gaskin might return for that one.
Miami Dolphins running backs Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) and DeAndre Washington (hamstring) are doubtful to play in Week 13 against the Bengals. Head coach Brian Flores said that running back Myles Gaskin (knee) could come off Injured Reserve to play on Sunday. Matt Breida is also out after being placed on the COVID-19 list, so Patrick Laird is the only truly healthy running back on the roster. If Gaskin doesn't return, the team could give receivers Malcolm Perry and Lynn Bowden Jr. some direct snaps or handoffs. Ahmed is in line to miss his second straight game. All signs are pointing toward Gaskin making his return. The Bengals Defense has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to RBs, but Gaskin would be a little more volatile as an RB2 if he's eased back into the fold.
Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington (hamstring) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. He has missed two straight practices and it sounds unlikely that he'll suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He saw 13 carries versus the New York Jets last week, but his fantasy value might be gone now. Both Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) and Myles Gaskin (knee) could see carries over him, assuming they suit up. The Dolphins backfield situation is chaos right now. Fantasy owners in desperate need of running back help should hold Washington in case he does become the lead back this week.
Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington was given the lead back role for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets. This was the first time that Washington was active since being traded. He rushed 13 times for 49 yards and hauled in two receptions for 11 yards in the victory. The Dolphins backfield is banged up, so Washington might carry some streaming appeal, assuming the team doesn't get healthy by next week.
The Miami Dolphins are acquiring running back DeAndre Washingtonand a conditional seventh-round pick in 2021 from the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2021, according to sources. The former Raider, Washington has just three carries for five yards and one reception for two yards in one game played in 2020 for Kansas City. With Le'Veon Bell in Kansas City now, Washington wasn't needed for depth. In Miami, he'll serve as depth behind Myles Gaskin, Matt Breida, Jordan Howard and Patrick Laird, but he can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
The Kansas City Chiefs have released running back DeAndre Washington. A former college teammate of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Washington wasn't able to impress enough in camp to earn a spot in a backfield that has a lot of question marks behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Darrel Williams enters 2020 as the primary backup here and is a solid late-round fantasy pick, while Washington isn't rosterable in redraft leagues at this point. He could still and somewhere, but it's hard to see him in a better spot than he could have been in Kansas City.
The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with running back DeAndre Washington on Wednesday, according to a source. Washington was drafted in the fifth round by the Raiders back in 2016 and has rushed the ball 282 times for 1,122 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns in his four years in the NFL. He's also added 88 catches on 110 targets for 613 yards and another score in 55 career games (five starts). The 27-year-old had 108 rushing attempts for 387 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games last year (three starts). He'll provide depth for the Chiefs backfield behind Damien Williams while also competing for touches with Darwin Thompson and Darrel Williams. He finds himself in an even more crowded backfield, meaning that it's unlikely Washington will yield any fantasy help.
Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington capped his 2019 season with a solid showing versus the Broncos on Sunday. He rushed for 77 yards on 17 carries and picked up another 55 yards on eight receptions, filling in nicely for the injured Josh Jacobs. Washington became a fantasy darling in the late weeks of the season after playing second fiddle in the backfield all season long. He won't be more than a handcuff for the 2020 fantasy campaign, providing Jacobs returns to full health next summer, but he proved he's a plug-and-play choice when called upon.
Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington filled in admirably for the injured Josh Jacobs (shoulder) on Sunday during the win over the Chargers. The 26-year-old received 23 carries, racking up 85 yards and scoring a touchdown midway through the third quarter off of a five-yard run. He also added two catches for 21 yards and proved to be beneficial for the fantasy managers who kept him on their rosters over the last few weeks. With Jacobs' status for the Week 17 matchup against Denver unknown at the moment, Washington could be in line for another strong outing against a middle-of-the-pack Broncos Defense.
