2025 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie seventh-round pick, Croskey-Merritt was expected to compete with Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols for the No. 3 RB job in Washington but may now have a shot at something bigger. The team traded Brian Robinson on Aug. 22, moving forward with Austin Ekeler, Croskey-Merritt, Rodriguez and McNichols in the backfield. Eligibility issues limited Croskey-Merritt to one game at Arizona last year, but he ran for 1,190 yards and 17 touchdowns at New Mexico the year before, and he posted a 4.45 40-yard dash at his pro day this spring. He caught just seven passes in 2023, however, and he enters the NFL as a 24-year-old rookie. If nothing else, the opportunity in Washington is an excellent one, allowing Croskey-Merritt to get his foot in the door immediately. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Held in check Sunday
Croskey-Merritt took 13 carries for 33 yards while catching one of two targets for a loss of one yard in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Croskey-Merritt couldn't find any running lanes against one of the worst rushing defenses in the league Sunday. The seventh-round rookie still led Washington's backfield in touches, but he ceded a short rushing touchdown to backup Chris Rodriguez (3-12-1). It is unclear whether Jayden Daniels (hamstring) or Marcus Mariota will be under center for next Monday's tilt against the Chiefs, but Croskey-Merritt figures to continue spearheading the Commanders' backfield rotation in Week 8.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trending up for Week 4?
Croskey-Merritt is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Falcons due to a knee injury, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Croskey-Merritt's prospects weren't very bright over the first two days of the practice week, as he was a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday. However, the rookie back had a good practice Friday according to head coach Dan Quinn, who also said Croskey-Merritt was "working incredibly hard round the clock to get back" but still needed final clearance from doctors.
