Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The bigger concern for 2026 is opportunity. He opens camp atop the depth chart but enters a crowded room after Washington added Rachaad White, Jerome Ford, and rookie Kaytron Allen. With only nine catches and a 3% target share last year, he offers little passing-down value, and White or Allen could siphon goal-line work. Behind him on the depth chart: Rachaad White. Full outlook

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Rest-of-Season Outlook
RB3 with flex weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB33 last season at 8.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB30 at 7.9 PPR points per game, against 8.3 over 17 games last season (RB33). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 33rd of 95 in rushing volume (10.3 carries per game), 67th of 95 in receiving role (0.8 targets per game) and 36th of 95 in efficiency (2.07 yards after contact per carry). Receiving role is the soft spot. Jayden Daniels is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Rachaad White next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchup is the Colts in Week 4 (5th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Croskey-Merritt's rookie tape was genuinely explosive: 805 yards on 175 carries (4.6 per attempt) with eight scores, and the chunk plays jump off the page with 21 runs of 10-plus, three of 20-plus, and a 72-yard touchdown. He forced 13 broken tackles and ran behind a clean blocking picture, generating 2.53 yards before contact per attempt. The warning signs are real too: a -0.024 EPA per play, 17 carries for negative yardage, 17 stuffs at or behind the line, and three fumbles point to boom-or-bust volatility rather than steady efficiency.
The bigger concern for 2026 is opportunity. He opens camp atop the depth chart but enters a crowded room after Washington added Rachaad White, Jerome Ford, and rookie Kaytron Allen. With only nine catches and a 3% target share last year, he offers little passing-down value, and White or Allen could siphon goal-line work. Treat him as a Round 8 upside dart, not a guaranteed starter.

What is Jacory Croskey-Merritt's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Jacory Croskey-Merritt projects as a rB3 with flex weeks for the rest of the 2026 season: a flex play in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His receiving role (0.8 targets per game, 67th of 95 RBs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Jacory Croskey-Merritt's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is the RB30 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in RB3 territory, a flex play in 10-team PPR leagues.

Will Jacory Croskey-Merritt get more touches?
Jacory Croskey-Merritt's touches are holding steady: 16.5 a game over his last two games against 16.7 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Jacory Croskey-Merritt's fantasy football upside?
Jacory Croskey-Merritt's upside: his ceiling this season is 12.6 PPR points (Week 1, RB22) and the Colts in Week 4 is a top-10 matchup for RBs.
What could hurt Jacory Croskey-Merritt's fantasy value?
Jacory Croskey-Merritt's risks: Rachaad White is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his receiving role (0.8 targets per game, 67th of 95 RBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Eagles in Week 8 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Jacory Croskey-Merritt's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 1 comes against a top-10 matchup for RBs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

If Croskey-Merritt Misses Time
Next man up: Rachaad White
Rachaad White is next on the Commanders depth chart at running back. He's the handcuff: worth a bench spot in deeper leagues and for Croskey-Merritt managers, since the same backfield work would pass to him.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Jayden Daniels would lose one of his main options.
