Croskey-Merritt posted 800+ rushing yards, 4.6 yards per carry, eight touchdowns, and two 100+ yard games as a rookie. In Year 2, his situation has drastically improved with Daniels healthy, an improved offensive line, and a new offense favoring his running style. The Commanders did not acquire a big-name running back, highlighting faith in Croskey-Merritt. With no overwhelming red zone threat through the air, he has a clear path to double-digit touchdowns similar to James Cook III's situation in Buffalo.
