Stash & Grow: Raridon, Black and Washington Are Gaining Share

The best dynasty stashes this week are young players on the second line of the depth chart whose share of the work is rising. Three draft picks fit: Patriots tight end Eli Raridon, 49ers back Kaelon Black and Raiders back Mike Washington Jr..

Every player here sits outside our Week 8 top 120. Share means carries (running backs) or targets (receivers and tight ends) as a part of the team total, compared across Weeks 1 to 4 and Weeks 5 to 7. Each rise rests on two or three games, so a teammate's return can erase it.

Tight end

Raridon was a third-round pick this year. He is 22 and New England's second tight end, and his share of targets went from 5 percent to 13. He had 12 targets over the last three games, with five, three and four.

We project him at 6.9 points against Miami. He is behind Hunter Henry, so this is a stash and not a start. Raridon is the one to watch if Henry misses time.

Running backs

Black was a third-round pick at 24, and his share of the 49ers' carries rose from 27 percent to 34. His carries climbed each week, from six to eight to 12. San Francisco is on bye, so there is no game to wait on. Christian McCaffrey has a hamstring strain that Kyle Shanahan called mild, and he is expected back after the bye.

Washington is a fourth-round pick at 23 and sits behind Ashton Jeanty in Las Vegas. His share rose from 20 percent to 29, on nine carries in Week 6 and six in Week 7. We project him at 3.7 against the Jets, which keeps him a bench stash.

Woody Marks is the largest jump. His share went from 31 percent to 64 on 49 carries over three games, and he was a fourth-round pick in 2025. Houston is on bye. Treat the jump carefully, because David Montgomery was out with a groin injury in Week 7. If Montgomery returns, Marks's share shrinks.

Seth McGowan is a seventh-round rookie in Indianapolis whose share rose from 11 percent to 23. He had 11 carries in Week 7 behind Jonathan Taylor, who hasn't asked for a trade. We project McGowan at 3.0.

Receiver

Treylon Burks is a 26-year-old third receiver in Washington whose share went from 6 percent to 19. Terry McLaurin is on injured reserve with a torn patellar tendon, which opens targets. Burks is questionable, and we project him at 6.2 against Philadelphia.

Risers to skip

Several names show big share jumps and aren't stashes. A.J. Brown is 29, Chris Godwin Jr. is 30 and Cooper Kupp is 33, and each is an established veteran. Malik Nabers,George Kittle and Mike Evans look absent from our top 120 only because their teams are on bye.
