Croskey-Merritt's 106 yards in 2 games, phased out for White, sub-4.0 YPC

Croskey-Merritt, Washington's leading rusher in 2025, has squandered the opportunity to cement his status as the feature back. Through two games in 2026, he has recorded 106 yards and one touchdown on 28 carries, with most production coming in Week 1 against Philadelphia. He was phased out in favor of Rachaad White during Week 2 against Dallas. His yards-per-carry average has dipped under 4.0 yards, the unofficial Mendoza Line for NFL running backs.
