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
Signed a four-year, $4.31 million contract with the Commanders in May of 2025.
Gets into end zone in Week 15 win
Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 18 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
With Chris Rodriguez (groin) ruled out, Croskey-Merritt led the Commanders backfield in touches with 18 to Jeremy McNichols' 10, and the rookie RB turned that season-high volume into his best performance -- and first trip to the end zone -- since Week 5. The strong effort may push Croskey-Merritt back into a more prominent role in the offense even after Rodriguez returns, but his fantasy appeal will hinge on the more experienced back's health in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have expanded Week 15 role
Croskey-Merritt could see more opportunities in Week 15 against the Giants, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Chris Rodriguez will be a game-time decision due to a groin injury.
ANALYSIS
If Rodriguez is sidelined or limited, Croskey-Merritt would be in line to get the majority of carries against the Giants, while Jeremy McNichols will probably see most of the playing time in passing situations either way. Croskey-Merritt had 10 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Giants in Week 1. The Giants have allowed the second-most rushing yards to running backs this season.
