Yahoo Sports NFL on Jeremy McNichols
From the article
Jeremy McNichols' ability to move the chains is just crazy. On 44 rushes, 13 went for 1st downs. On 25 catches, 10 went for 1st downs. 23 1st downs on 69 touches. 1 out of every 3 touches was a 1st down!
STACKED’s take
McNichols' elite chain-moving ability and special teams value make him a strong backup option.
McNichols, drafted in the fifth round by Tampa Bay in 2017, impressed the Commanders coaching staff and won a roster spot through versatility. He was used effectively in rotation in 2024 and stepped in admirably after Austin Ekeler's departure in 2025, making the most of limited carries and receptions. His ability to move the chains is exceptional: on 44 rushes, 13 went for first downs; on 25 catches, 10 went for first downs—23 first downs on 69 total touches, or 1 out of every 3 touches resulting in a first down. A plus special teamer and protector, McNichols played 53% of special teams snaps in 2024, though only 14% last season when more involved in the running back rotation.
