Our Draft Read
Our editorial board places Mike Washington Jr. at RB55 in PPR. The separate directional season projection is 66.7 PPR points. The ranking is draft order, not a claim that this projection has been newly validated. Captured PPR ADP 150.8 overall; ADP describes draft cost, not a positional finish prediction.
Use a late bench slot when contingency upside is more useful than another low-ceiling reserve. A Jeanty roster can value the protection differently from a team needing a current flex starter.
What Moves His Value
The upside: He retains the next-back role and receives meaningful carries if the starter's workload becomes available.
The downside: Jeanty remains the focal point, leaving Washington with little usable weekly volume. A backup designation does not guarantee every vacated touch.
