Has been getting 6-8 touches weekly and has been productive with them.. Haven't seen any Raiders games. Any chance to get more and start ahead of Murray?
50-29-23 (J Richard)I think so. He's basically splitting with murray now.
They should run the ball more50-29-23 (J Richard)
Last game touches: 10-8-3
Yesterday's offensive snap counts: 34-10-15
Week 3 was 11-7-7
and
31-18-13
Washington is splitting with Richard, but Murray is still getting 50-60% of snaps and the plurality of touches.
I'm guessing game flow? 3 of their 4 games have been shootouts. 21st in att, 2nd to CLE in YPCThey should run the ball more
Yeah their defense is awful. You have a good line and good rbs. Hide your defense with your offense. Them and the saints drive me crazyI'm guessing game flow? 3 of their 4 games have been shootouts. 21st in att, 2nd to CLE in YPC
I don't think it's going to stay like that. Guess we will seeI originally drafted Washington as Murray's handcuff. After the first week I dropped him because, if a team has two handcuffs, they have zero. Nothing that's happened since has dissuaded me from that belief. Murray is clearly the leader in that backfield, and as long as Richard and Washington (and Olawaze) keep splitting up the scraps, none of the backups have value.
Why wouldn't it stay like that? They seem happy with what all their RB's bring to the table. If Murray were to go down you think Washington is the bellcow all the sudden? It's gonna take multiple in juries for any of these guys to be more than a flex play.I don't think it's going to stay like that. Guess we will see
How do you think it will change?I don't think it's going to stay like that. Guess we will see
DittoFWIW, just droppped Detroit Washington for this one. We'll see...
DeAndre Washington is the Raiders' likely starter for Week 5 against the Chargers.
Washington's touch share has grown every week this season, and Latavius Murray's toe injury will give the Raiders an excuse to expand Washington's role significantly versus San Diego. Washington lost a near-costly late-game fumble in last week's win over Baltimore, which would be more of a concern for Washington's playing time if committee partner Jalen Richard hadn't committed two drops. We are guessing Washington will handle 13-17 touches against the Chargers with Richard mixing in for 7-12 and Jamize Olawale possibly vulturing short-yardage work.

Latavius Murray - RB - Raiders
I'd rather have Washington for sureshort bench .5PPR league; would you drop Sproles or Ware for Washington (sorry, if this is too much personal-league-related)?
When you see a rookie rbs getting carries it should raise a red flag. I've been grabbing both. it's obvious the Raiders are not happy with Murray. The current situation say more about Murray than the backups.Why wouldn't it stay like that? They seem happy with what all their RB's bring to the table.

if true, turf toe is a killer for RBs throughout the season...never get right without rest.#Raiders RB Latavius Murray is battling turf toe, source said, but OC Bill Musgrave told @Jimmy_Durkin he hopes to have Murray on Sunday.

Turf toe can end NFL careers (LB Jack Lambert) but if it caught early then rest is the prescribed remedy.red said:if true, turf toe is a killer for RBs throughout the season...never get right without rest.
That's all fine. All I'm saying is that Washington and Richard would be splitting carries. Washington is no bellcow. He's got nice appeal in PPR.metoo said:When you see a rookie rbs getting carries it should raise a red flag. I've been grabbing both. it's obvious the Raiders are not happy with Murray.

I don't think they knowOf the three, who is actually the best all around back? That's what I want to know.
well DW has the college pedigree having done more than Jalen ...but the eye test says they are both as good as the other so who really knows...now we may get a real taste of who is the better backOf the three, who is actually the best all around back? That's what I want to know.
When a team drafts 2 RBs in one year it gives a signal that they are not quite happy with their current RB situation. When a team has their lead back from last year getting 50% of the touches this year, that is another signal that Oak is not sold on Murray.I don't think they know

I have no idea how this is going to turn out but it seems like there is change coming.
Yes. It says alot that he has made so much noise so quicklyJalen Richard was undrafted
Antonio Brown returns puntsI think i saw Richard has been returning kicks or punts? I would think you wouldn't have your potential starter doing that but what do I know.
Even in the 4th quarter of blow outs.Antonio Brown returns punts
So does Travis Benjamin, but the Chargers have said they're pulling him off ST to prevent injury (because he's now their top WR, or so they say).Antonio Brown returns punts
David Johnson returned kicks, and so did Antonio Bryant. It looks like they turned out ok.I think i saw Richard has been returning kicks or punts? I would think you wouldn't have your potential starter doing that but what do I know.
