Jacory Croskey-Merritt Fantasy Overview

The Commanders are signing RB Rachaad White to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports. We'll see about the money involved, but the length of the contract means Washington isn't making a major commitment. White has spent the last four seasons in Tampa Bay, averaging 664 rushing yards, 363 receiving yards, and 6.3 total TDs per season.

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez is inactive for today's game vs. the Cowboys after waking up sick this morning. That leaves RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the lead role. He carried 18 times for 96 yards and a score on a 55% snap rate when Rodriguez missed Week 15. That came in a Commanders win over a pathetic Giants run defense, though. Dallas' run defense has been better since adding DL Quinnen Williams, who's active today. And the Commanders are 8.5-point underdogs. That leaves Croskey-Merritt as a risk/reward RB3 in fantasy lineups.
