George Holani News
Monday, September 14, 6:37 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani didn't produce much with the ball in his hands during Week 1 against the New England Patriots. However, he was a thorn in the side of Jadarian Price's fantasy managers because he earned nearly as many snaps and touches as the rookie. Holani played 23 snaps in Week 1, while Price played 24. The former mustered eight touches for 3.6 YPC, but he didn't score a touchdown or catch a pass. That's the biggest hold-up with Holani in fantasy football right now; PPR managers need him to catch more passes, and all of his managers would appreciate some touchdowns. With that being said, it was just Week 1, and the Seahawks had to adapt to an offense without Sam Darnold. When they return to action, they'll have 11 days rest and Holani could end up carving out a larger role. Heading into Week 2 against the Cardinals, he ranks as a fringe RB4 with a low floor but decent upside.

Mike Washington Jr. News
Monday, September 14, 7:40 AM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. made good use of his limited work in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Miami Dolphins, turning seven carries into 41 yards. Ashton Jeanty still owned the backfield with 23 carries and six catches, so Washington is not pushing for a starting fantasy spot in Week 2. He is becoming harder to leave on waiver wires, though. The Raiders traded up to take Washington 122nd overall in April, and the 6-foot-2, 228-pound rookie opened the season second to Jeanty on the depth chart. Washington also handled first-team work when Jeanty left an August practice with an injury, giving Las Vegas a chance to see him with the starting offense before the games counted. Seven carries do not give Washington much standalone value yet, especially with Jeanty healthy. They do reinforce his place as the back fantasy managers want behind him. Washington should be stashed in 12-team leagues before that role becomes more expensive, rather than viewed as a Week 2 play against the Chargers.
