Mike Washington Jr. a Deep-League Option Only in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 1:02 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. is coming off a rough Week 9 performance, and it won't get any easier for him in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie has been inheriting more work from struggling back Ashton Jeanty, but was heavily stymied by the 49ers in Week 9 and ended the day with six carries for -5 yards. He will now get a taste of Seattle's top-ranked defense, which is allowing just 21.7 yards per running back per game this season. Washington's workload could still be high given that fellow rookie Fernando Mendoza is making his first career start and the passing game will also be heavily tested. Still, this isn't a matchup fantasy managers should be leaning on in Week 10, especially since Mendoza could opt to run the ball himself at times. Washington is a deep-league-only option against a brutal Seahawks defense.

Seth McGowan News

Seth McGowan a Deep-League Option in Week 10 in Reserve Role

Friday, November 13, 9:41 AM

Indianapolis running back Seth McGowan is just a deep-league fantasy option due to Jonathan Taylor remaining with the team after the trade deadline. McGowan has carved out a decent offensive role though, carrying the ball 43 times for 208 yards and a touchdown so far, while also hauling in five of his six targets for nine yards. He has played 22.3% of the team's offensive snaps so far. Miami is a pretty favorable matchup for running backs, so McGowan has a little fantasy appeal, but just in deeper leagues. He's RB46 in our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he's only startable in deeper setups. McGowan would only become a standard league option if Taylor were injured, so that's something to keep in mind, especially with the Colts' season fading away.
