From the article

STACKED’s take
Croskey-Merritt is the most explosive Commanders RB with lead-back upside and the sixth-easiest schedule.
The source identifies Croskey-Merritt as a top sleeper RB pick for 2026. A seventh-round pick in 2025, he was limited by a three-man committee after Brian Robinson Jr. was traded and Austin Ekeler suffered a season-ending injury, but still finished as RB10 in fppg during the fantasy playoffs with 95+ yards on two occasions and four touchdowns over that stretch. He's now expected to enter the season No. 1 on the depth chart, sharing it with pass-catching specialist Rachaad White and sixth-round power back Kaytron Allen. The coaching staff emphasized he needs to improve in the passing game, and he's answered the call in that area. All three Commanders RBs are being taken outside the top-100 picks, making them risk-free draft targets. Croskey-Merritt is described as the most explosive option with the greatest potential to emerge as a difference-maker in Washington's backfield, and he'll face the sixth-easiest fantasy schedule among running backs.
