DeAndre Washington scores touchdown as Raiders defeat Chiefs
Oakland Raiders running back DeAndre Washington rushed 9 times for 33 yards and a touchdown and caught 3 passes (4 targets) for 7 yards in Thursday's Week 7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
What It Means:
Marshawn Lynch was ejected in the second quarter, causing the Raiders to turn to an even timeshare between Washington (12 touches) and Jalen Richard (13). If Lynch is suspended against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8, it will likely be more of the same in Oakland's backfield.
Washington scored 11.5 FanDuel points in Week 7 after our models projected him for only 3.7, and he's now averaging 4.3 FanDuel points per game this season. Per numberFire Live, he also finished with 0.62 Rushing Net Expected Points, meaning a league average running back would have scored 0.62 fewer points than Washington did if put in similar situations.
