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.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran seven times for 32 yards in the Commanders' 31-0 loss to the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
JCM has taken a back seat to Chris Rodriguez, and with that, his fantasy appeal has cratered. He's a fun case of pre-season hype in a situation that doesn't pan out, while still being efficient on his touches when he does get the rock.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed the ball four times for 20 yards in Sunday night's 27-26 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie wasn't very involved for the Commanders on Sunday. He saw just four rushing attempts against the Broncos and finished with 20 total yards, which left him with a poor fantasy total. It looks like he has been eclipsed by Chris Rodriguez Jr. on the depth chart, which would render him irrelevant for fantasy purposes over the last five weeks of the regular season.
