Croskey-Merritt's rushing efficiency metrics justify late-round speculation despite role uncertainty.

Croskey-Merritt is worth a late-round dice roll in 2026. Last year he was RB41 in fantasy points per game with an up-and-down season; Washington didn't trust him as a passing game option and he was in and out of the starting lineup as the team leaned on other backs like Chris Rodriguez. However, he popped in rushing efficiency metrics, ranking 26th in explosive run rate, 19th in yards after contact per attempt, seventh in yards per carry on zone runs, and ninth in rushing success rate among 49 qualifying backs. He had four top-24 weekly finishes despite limited opportunity.
