Mike Washington Jr.'s fantasy role in Week 10
Mike Washington Jr. goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league RB flyer for the LV. He is rostered in 24% of leagues and actually started in 3% of them, and we rank him RB49 on our own weekly board at 3.4 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 6% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs SEA. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting RB baseline of 11 points, his 3.4-point projection is 7.6 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.

Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Mike Washington Jr. (LV RB), our RB49 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 3.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 7.6 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. The vs SEA draw matters here — home snaps against SEA shape how often he's asked to do something. Roster share is bleeding 5.5% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 3% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Mike Washington Jr. (LV RB), our RB49 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 3.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 7.6 points of shortfall. Roster share is bleeding 5.5% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 3% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 3.4 points is roughly 69% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
