Croskey-Merritt faces RBBC competition; limited passing role keeps him as RB3/RB4 option.
Croskey-Merritt, a rookie seventh-rounder, forced the Commanders to trade Brian Robinson to the 49ers during training camp and led the team in rushing categories (175-805-8), ranking sixth in YCO/ATT (3.50) and 15th in missed tackles forced rate (19.4%) among 33 RBs with 150+ attempts. However, he never saw the volume to be a reliable fantasy asset, with eight games of fewer than 10 rush attempts in 17 appearances and a non-existent passing game role (never surpassing two targets in any game). ESPN's John Keim reported the Commanders are "likely" to enter the season with a running back by committee, meaning Croskey-Merritt should be viewed as no more than RB3/RB4.
