From the article

Jacory Croskey-Merritt turned 33 snaps into a 16-63-1 rushing line, whereas Rachaad White was limited to 7-22-0 rushing on 27 snaps and rookie Kaytron Allen went 4-16-0 on just seven snaps. Croskey-Merritt's rushing effectiveness is nothing new (4.6 YPC as a rookie), but the boost in passing involvement is notable after he averaged only 6.7 routes and 0.8 targets per game as a rookie. Obviously, one target isn't going to cut it, but it's enough to make him a borderline flex option in deeper leagues in Week 2.
