On Commanders RBs: Just listened to and read a ton Seems like most beats believe Jacory Croskey Merritt had a chance to seize control and largely did, but the fumble raises concerns However, no one believes that Rachaad White has much of a chance and that Kaytron Allen looks much better Of course opinions by mostPositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
Jacory Croskey Merritt fumbled on the last possession and the Commanders immediately put in Kaytron Allen with the game on the line (pass + run game): 1) Allen might be the real handcuff 2) Not a fan of Rachaad White’s rolePositiveNewsSep 13, 2026

On Stefon Diggs and Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Obviously a bit of a projection by @Ethan_Cadeaux, who covers the Commanders Bill = starter + runway see what he can do (took him in fantasy) Diggs = could lead team in receiving if he plays 70-75% of snaps (I agree)PositiveDepth ChartSep 9, 2026
Commanders depth chart has Jacory Croskey-Merritt listed as the top RB - obviously we will see some sort of split there (more about how much) 12 starters overall, so John Bates and Treylon Burks are interchangeable pending the personnel groupingPositiveNewsAug 31, 2026
Commanders cut Robert Henry Probably helps Kaytron Allen be more secure as the potential early down backup RB Also probably reiterates that Jacory Croskey-Merritt is healthyPositiveValueAug 30, 2026
Jacory Croskey-Merritt should be fine - Commanders are just being cautious per @BenStandig Remember he has him as the lead back as well, still a solid value Last Man Standig PodPositiveNewsAug 27, 2026
Some context on the Commanders OL issues today: Clearly still an issue but no Sam Cosmi + Nick Allegretti Then also missing Jacory Croskey-Merritt to help the run game Chatter in Commanders land about making moves for help, which may make sense based on what we’ve seenPositiveNewsAug 24, 2026
Commanders RBBC: Jacory Croskey-Merritt explosive in run game (signals early down work) and Rachaad White 3rd down work Choose your fighter - I am leaning Bill Notable that the projection is to keep 4 RBs via @john_keimPositiveNewsAug 13, 2026
Your Jacory Croskey-Merritt update that’s also a Rachaad White updatePositiveUsageAug 12, 2026
Sounds like Jacory Croskey-Merritt has continued showing that he can catch passes out of the backfield and "improved" in pass pro Still stated as an RBBC via @CommandersPositiveNewsAug 11, 2026
David Blough on Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s pass catching: 1) he’s shown the ability to catch the ball away from his body and we’re pleased with his development in that area 2) would have shown the full clip but it’s cutout on YT 👀 Via @CommandersPositiveNewsAug 10, 2026
Commanders projected top 3 RBs: Jacory Croskey-Merritt (also listed as a potential breakout) Rachaad White Kaytron Allen Take: Bill is the ony I'd take above the others given what we've heard about getting him further ingrained into the pass game. @PatKerrane on the Legendary Spike Week pod also mentioned how Y2 RBs typically have breakouts - and its not necessarily obvious players. It's a cheap bet that I've leaned into. Via @NickiJhabvalaPositiveUsageAug 5, 2026
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is “flashing enough as a pass catcher to position himself for the largest role in the backfield.” Soft hands and quickly transitioning to a ball carrier Still needs work in pass pro Take: I continually believe Bill is the back to own.PositiveNewsAug 1, 2026
If you’ve been following along, Commanders want to see Jacory Croskey-Merritt improve in the pass game (to not tip run/pass when he’s in) Hearing multiple days of checkdowns in the flat from Jayden to JCM sounds like things are improving for himPositiveNewsJul 23, 2026
On Jacory Croskey-Merritt via @john_keim: Improvement in pass game will be key Offers more potential explosiveness in the run game Thoughts: Very consistent across all main beats - JCM needs to prove it as a pass pro/pass catcher, but he’s the most explosive runner.PositiveNewsJul 21, 2026
Yesterday on the Fantasy Life Show about Jacory Croskey-Merritt:PositiveNewsJul 21, 2026
On Jacory Croskey-Merritt vs Rachaad White: Everything I've read keeps pointing to JCM having the opportunity to be the featured back Again, signals are they don't want to tip run/pass with personnel Team needs JCM (more dynamic) to showcase pass pro & pass catchingPositiveNewsJul 20, 2026
Commanders insider believes Jacory Croskey-Merritt making a jump in the pass game is the key to the offense Matching what was said out of camp - the team would prefer not to tip their hand on run vs pass w/ personnel Believe it is more likely Bill improves as a pass catcher vs Rachaad White as a runner Feel that Bill brings more explosiveness in the run game than anyone else Also mentions that Kaytron Allen’s game doesn’t lend itself to OTAs, so they’ll find out more on him soon
