Overall
Can't get going in Week 18
Croskey-Merritt recorded 13 rushes for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Croskey-Merritt saw eight of his 13 carries on the Commanders' opening possession, though he was phased out of the offense from there after picking up only five total yards. This performance was indicative of an up-and-down rookie season for Croskey-Merritt, as he reached at least 95 rushing yards in two of his final six games but failed to reach 35 yards on the ground in the other four. The Commanders are a candidate to add a running back either in free agency or the draft this offseason, but Croskey-Merritt is likely to have a role in 2026.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have expanded Week 15 role
Croskey-Merritt could see more opportunities in Week 15 against the Giants, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Chris Rodriguez will be a game-time decision due to a groin injury.
ANALYSIS
If Rodriguez is sidelined or limited, Croskey-Merritt would be in line to get the majority of carries against the Giants, while Jeremy McNichols will probably see most of the playing time in passing situations either way. Croskey-Merritt had 10 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Giants in Week 1. The Giants have allowed the second-most rushing yards to running backs this season.
