This week the two backs the Raiders have used as a ‘change of pace’ will be the only pace. Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington will share the load this week in the absence of Marshawn Lynch who is suspended for making contact with an official Thursday night against the Chiefs.
Even with the Raiders running the ball rather sparingly this season, Lynch still leads the team in carries by a considerable margin. His 72 carries is more than twice that of Richard who is next with 35 carries.
