March 11, 2026
Rodriguez is signing a two-year contract with the Jaguars, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Commanders decided not to give Rodriguez a restricted-free-agent tender, and the Jaguars pounced on an opportunity to add some power to their backfield. With Travis Etienne off to New Orleans, the Jags currently have Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen as favorites for the top three spots on the depth chart. They could still add more via free agency or the NFL Draft, but right now it looks like a good spot for Rodriguez to earn playing time in a promising offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
A sixth-round pick in 2023, Rodriguez spent last season bouncing between the practice squad and the Commanders' active roster, but he was effective when called upon. The Kentucky product averaged 4.9 yards per carry, albeit on just 35 totes, and the majority of his production came during a Week 13 tilt against the Titans in which he turned 13 carries into 94 yards and a touchdown. The Commanders traded Brian Robinson in August, potentially opening up a role for Rodriguez as a power runner alongside dual threat Austin Ekeler, although the team is also said to have high hopes for rookie seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Washington likely will deploy a backfield committee, with Rodriguez a candidate for short-yardage carries and any other work that prioritizes powerful running.
A 2023 sixth-round pick, Rodriguez didn't get double-digit snaps on offense until Week 11 last year but flashed upside once he did. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry, and his 2.4-yard average after contact would have been a top-five mark in the league if he'd seen enough volume to qualify. Rodriguez suffered a season-ending ankle injury Week 16, and while he should be healthy in time for training camp, he'll like be third on the depth chart behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler. It is possible new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury isn't as fond of Robinson as the old coaching staff was, and the 224-pound Rodriguez can offer a similar element of powerful running between the tackles.
Rodriguez landed in Washington in the sixth round of the 2023 Draft, after a prolific college career at Kentucky with 3,600 rushing yards and 33 TDs over the past four seasons. He only caught 20 passes, and a 4.52 40 at his pro day suggests the 224-pounder is more likely to be a power back than a big-play threat in the NFL. That could put him in play for some of the work 2022 third-rounder Brian Robinson got last season en route to a 205-797-2 rushing line in 12 games. The Commanders also still have Antonio Gibson, who got a career-high 58 targets last season despite competing with J.D. McKissic for passing-down snaps in the first half of the year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Most efficient Washington RB
RBWashington Commanders
January 29, 2026
Rodriguez's advanced stats in 2025 were much more impressive than Jacory Croskey-Merritt's, according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez ranked fifth among all NFL running backs with .03 rush expected points added, or EPA, per carry, while Croskey-Merritt averaged -0.06 EPA per rush attempt. Rodriguez also had an impressive 29 missed tackles forced and averaged 3.46 yards per contact per carry while posting a success rate of 45.5 percent. Washington will likely look to bolster its backfield in the offseason, but if the Commanders bring back Rodriguez, who is set to be a restricted free agent in the offseason, there is a good chance Rodriguez will slot in ahead of Croskey-Merritt on the depth chart based on their performance in 2025.
