From the article

In Week 1, Bill was the RB22 in fantasy, seeing a 49.3% snap share and 55.2% of the designed carries. He finished with 17 touches and 65 total yards (one touchdown)... He had only one of Washington's five running back red zone carries, which is a problem, but it was one game, so we'll have to see if that continues. Bill is a solid flex that could return RB2 production again in Week 2.

Croskey-Merritt's red zone role uncertainty limits upside despite solid snap and carry share in Week 2.

Croskey-Merritt (referred to as 'Bill' in the source) finished as RB22 in Week 1 with 49.3% snap share, 55.2% of designed carries, 17 touches, and 65 total yards (one touchdown). Among 34 qualifying rushers, he ranked 14th in explosive run rate, 21st in yards after contact per attempt, and 22nd in rushing success rate. He handled only one of Washington's five red zone carries, which is a concern, but the source notes it's a one-game sample. He was close behind Rachaad White in route share (34.2% vs. 36.8%) with only one target. Dallas allowed 16th-best rushing success rate, eighth-most yards before contact per attempt, and 11th-highest missed tackle rate in Week 1.
