Because he throws the chakram, duh!

Jokes aside, it's because he's acquired the chakram as a Servant, for some reason. When he was still alive, it was bestowed to him by Krishna. However, he couldn't use it, let alone pick it up. Though, even without the chakram, he would still qualify as an Archer given he was taught archery by his father alongside Arjuna. Either that or a Rider, but I personally think they gave Ashwatthama quite the twist as a Servant and it's very interesting!
