Croskey-Merritt limited to RB3/RB4; RBBC expected with White; no passing role.
Croskey-Merritt, a rookie seventh-rounder, forced the Commanders to trade Brian Robinson to the 49ers during training camp by carving out a role, and led the team in all major rushing categories with 175-805-8 in 2025. He ranked sixth in YCO/ATT (3.50) and 15th in missed tackles forced rate (19.4%) among 33 RBs with 150+ attempts. However, the source notes he 'never saw the volume to serve as a reliable fantasy asset,' with eight games of fewer than 10 rush attempts out of 17 appearances and a non-existent passing game role (never surpassing two targets in any game). The source reports ESPN's John Keim indicated the Commanders are 'likely' to enter 2026 with a running back by committee situation, meaning 'JCM shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a RB3/RB4 for the time being.' While there's belief he could see increased passing game work, he faces added competition from Rachaad White.
