Fantasy Life Articles on Jacory Croskey-Merritt
From the article
On the one hand, Croskey-Merritt has been serviceable in the two full games QB Jayden Daniels has played (13.2 fantasy points per game, 138 yards, 2 TDs on 27 carries, 1 target). On the other hand, he's actually the No. 2 RB in a full-blown timeshare with teammate Rachaad White (49% snap rate, 50 Utilization Score vs. 45%, 50), and White is the more utilized back in pass situations (41% route rate vs. 23%) and in two-minute scenarios (100% snap rate vs. 6%). As +7.5 road dogs, the Commanders could rely on White way more than "Bill" against the 49ers, who are No. 4 in defensive rush EPA (-0.215).
STACKED’s take

The Commanders have traveled 10,944 miles over the past month and are heading west for a primetime game outside their normal 1 pm ET kickoff window. Croskey-Merritt has taken 77% of his carries on inside or outside zone runs; San Francisco has allowed 3.00 YPC on those concepts without a single gain of at least 10 yards on 43 carries. He ran a route on just 16% of the team's dropbacks without earning a target. Use only as a flex in PPR leagues.
