Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Jacory Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 13 times for 29 yards in a 24-17 win over the Eagles in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

Croskey-Merritt played behind Chris Rodriguez Jr., who saw 16 carries. The Washington rookie had an up-and-down debut season, showing flashes of strong play but also failing to overtake Rodriguez on the depth chart. Croskey-Merritt will be an interesting name to monitor heading into the 2026 season, as he could be a solid fantasy running back if he can win the starting role.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Croskey-Merritt will play one more game in his rookie season. He should continue to split snaps with Chris Rodriguez.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 11 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Commanders' 30-23 Week 17 loss to the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Croskey-Merritt has had a nose for the end zone of late, rushing for at least one touchdown in each of his last three games. The running back could offer fantasy managers an explosive option in Week 18 formats against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran 8 times for 25 yards in the Commanders' 29-18 loss to the Eagles on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

JCM was able to put the Commanders ahead in the second quarter, but that was about it for him on the day. He's behind Chris Rodriguez in the pecking order for rushing, and he's uninvolved in the passing game. His upside is severely limited unless one of Rodriguez or Jeremy McNichols is out. And even if it's McNichols missing time, he's tough to trust. It's best to leave the rookie on the bench or bait-drop him to waivers.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran for 96 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in the Commanders 29-21 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Croskey-Merritt drew the start with Chris Rodriguez (groin) ruled out right before kickoff. He would be an RB2 play next week if Rodriguez remains sidelined.
