From the article

Croskey-Merritt wound up leading the Commanders in all major rushing categories (175-805-8) and ranked sixth in YCO/ATT (3.50) and 15th in missed tackles forced rate (19.4 percent) among 33 RBs with at least 150 rush attempts last season. Despite solid production overall, he never saw the volume to serve as a reliable fantasy asset.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Croskey-Merritt faces RBBC competition; limited passing role keeps him as RB3/RB4 option.

Croskey-Merritt, a rookie seventh-rounder, forced the Commanders to trade Brian Robinson to the 49ers during training camp and led the team in rushing categories (175-805-8), ranking sixth in YCO/ATT (3.50) and 15th in missed tackles forced rate (19.4%) among 33 RBs with 150+ attempts. However, he never saw the volume to be a reliable fantasy asset, with eight games of fewer than 10 rush attempts in 17 appearances and a non-existent passing game role (never surpassing two targets in any game). ESPN's John Keim reported the Commanders are "likely" to enter the season with a running back by committee, meaning Croskey-Merritt should be viewed as no more than RB3/RB4.
