Mike Washington Jr. emerges as potential fantasy football sleeper

Fantasy football managers are looking at Mike Washington Jr. as a potential sleeper for the 2026 season. Currently unranked in average draft position (ADP), Washington averaged 6.4 yards per carry in his college season at Arkansas, totaling nearly 1,300 rushing yards. His impressive 4.33 time in the 40-yard dash at the combine highlights his athletic potential. With limited competition for the RB2 role behind Ashton Jeanty, Washington could see significant touches if the starter suffers an injury. Other rookie sleepers include KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, Antonio Williams, and Chris Bell. As training camp progresses, interest in these players may grow.
