Commanders (at 49ers): Terry McLaurin left after his last snap at Q1 2:16 and did not return (could be a serious knee injury) RBs: Rachaad White: 60% opp share, 64% route share, 0% of i10 rush att, 100% of 2min RB snaps, 83% 3rd down snap share Trailing game script from the get-go and he is the pass-down back - he's going to be a back-end RB2 with JCM out Jeremy McNichols: 25% opp share, 9% route share, 100% of i10 rush att, 0% of 2min RB snaps, 17% 3rd down snap share Not worth a roster spot...PositiveNewsOct 19, 2026
My MNF bets I just took: Osa over 0.25 sacks +190 Lenoir over 2.5 tackles -104 Locked in Rachaad White o2.5 receptions +120 earlier in the weekPositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Buccaneers (vs Steelers): Baker Mayfield out with the thumb Sean Tucker was inactive as well RBs - bellcow Bucky: Bucky Irving: 88% opp share, 64% route share, 100% of 2min RB snaps, 63% 3rd down snap share No Sean Tucker in this one, but the team did not get a GL attempt, still you have to be happy with Bucky's role - he's a weekly high-end RB2 when Baker is back (could be this week) Kenneth Gainwell: 12% opp share, 15% route share, 0% of 2min RB snaps, 37% 3rd down snap share Just a handcuf...PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Steelers (at Buccaneers): Another 70%+ pass rate game (they were down) RBs: Jaylen Warren: 64% opp share, 57% route share, 100% of i10 rush att, 69% of 2min RB snaps, 93% 3rd down snap share At halftime it was nearly 50/50, but in the 2nd half Warren dominated the work - he's a mid-to-high end RB2 in a 65/35 split Also, the reporting on this from a week ago was spot on with the 65/35 split guess Rico Dowdle: 36% opp share, 20% route share, 0% of i10 rush att, 23% of 2min RB snaps, 7% 3rd down...PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
I think Austin Ekeler will get most of his role with a sprinkle of Rachaad White getting more Tonight sets up as more of a Rachaad White game, but we know Ekeler can be more involved in the pass game tooPositiveNewsOct 18, 2026
RB is super thin - check out these @Xfinity best (ceiling) projections for this cluster Woody Marks Tyler Allgeier Cam Skattebo Marshawn Lloyd Rachaad White Tony Pollard Dameon Pierce Who’s your favorite?PositiveNewsOct 17, 2026
No Jacory Croskey-Merritt this week Again, I like Rachaad White’s matchupPositiveNewsOct 16, 2026
Rachaad White is a strong play this week Trailing gamescript and going against a 49ers D that allows the MOST TPRR to RBs at 26%PositiveNewsOct 16, 2026
Rachaad White Week:NegativeUsageOct 16, 2026
Rachaad White: 42% route share, 92% of Washington's 3rd down RB snaps in Week 5 San Francisco allows a 25% TPRR to RBs (most in the NFL) Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Austin Ekeler are dealing with injuries and Commanders are 7.5 point underdogs (w/ a decent implied total!)PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026
Commanders (vs Giants): RBs: Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 48% opp share, 16% route share, 0% of i10 rush att (none for anyone), 10% of 2min RB snaps, 8% 3rd down snap share Feels like a sell situation for JCM - he had a nice game and the team was up for most of it and they still chose not to hand him the ball more than 11 times (and he scored). Seems like a bye-week fill-in and weekly RB3/flex. Rachaad White: 35% opp share, 32% route share, 70% of 2min RB snaps, 92% 3rd down snap share In losing g...NegativeUsageOct 11, 2026
Eagles (at Jacksonville, London): Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith and Marquise Brown were inactive again Will Shipley left at 6:26 left in the 2Q with a foot injury after scoring and was ruled out RBs after Shipley left (35 plays): Dameon Pierce: 100% opp share, 64% route share, 100% of 2min RB snaps, 100% of third down work He was everything - the team could add a RB if Saquon is out longer WR/TEs (43 dropbacks): Dontayvion Wicks: 91% route share, 20.5% TPRR, 1.62 YPRR, 13.8 aDOT, 28% slot Jar...PositiveInjuryOct 4, 2026
Commanders (vs Indianapolis): Marcus Mariota left at 7:05 of the first quarter with a knee, and Athan Kaliakmanis played the final 51 snaps RBs - a four-way mess with Rachaad White inactive: Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 54% opp share, 32% route share, 0% of i10, 20% of 2min RB snaps He was playing early but was largely ineffective - I don’t know that it’s going to happen for him this year (maybe a flex play moving forward) Austin Ekeler: 25% opp share, 24% route share Actually looked spry - could...PositiveNewsOct 4, 2026
Okay so 3rd down without Rachaad White and we get a huge swing pass catch and run from Jacory Croskey-MerrittNegativeInjuryOct 4, 2026
Rachaad White did not have shoulder surgery, @BenStandig kindly reached out and let me know he meant to say injury For this week, it does seem like Jacory Croskey-Merritt will get a large workload against a suspect Colts run defense - he’s a back end RB2/flexNegativeUsageOct 4, 2026

Did Rachaad White have shoulder surgery? Also it seems like Austin Ekeler is going to be active (but prob not a significant workload) Craig Reynolds may also be active (4RBs) If White did have shoulder surgery, Ekeler becomes interesting in deep leagues via @BenStandigNegativeNewsSep 28, 2026
Rachaad White injury must not be great Ekeler comes in to potentially help fill that gapPositiveUsageSep 27, 2026
SEA at WAS (Commanders) RBs: Jacory Croskey-Merritt - 69% opp share, 48.6% route share, 1 of 1 i10 rush att, 35.7% of 2-min RB snaps Rachaad White - 31% opp share, 40% route share, 0 i10 att, 64.3% of 2-min RB snaps, 92.3% of RB third down work Seems like Week 2 was come back mode 2 min offense for White and that’s his role This was a super tough matchup inside - JCM will be usable in better matchups as a flex or bye week RB2 WRs/TEs: Terry McLaurin - 88.6% route share, 0.290 TPRR, 2.48 YPRR,...PositiveNewsSep 20, 2026
Hopefully you are rostering high upside players like Tank Bigsby over Rachaad White typesPositiveValueSep 17, 2026
We should also think through why the team put in Kaytron Allen instead of Rachaad White in such a high leverage situation I don’t think White has much fantasy value - likely someone who just takes a spot on your bench without a meaningful contributionPositiveNewsSep 15, 2026
On Commanders RBs: Just listened to and read a ton Seems like most beats believe Jacory Croskey Merritt had a chance to seize control and largely did, but the fumble raises concerns However, no one believes that Rachaad White has much of a chance and that Kaytron Allen looks much better Of course opinions by mostPositiveNewsAug 24, 2026
Commanders RBBC: Jacory Croskey-Merritt explosive in run game (signals early down work) and Rachaad White 3rd down work Choose your fighter - I am leaning Bill Notable that the projection is to keep 4 RBs via @john_keimPositiveDepth ChartAug 22, 2026
Commanders Film Review w/ Jayden (3 snaps): Stefon Diggs only lined up in the slot - when they went to a 2WR set, he came off the field If you are worried about Diggs - this would be the reason why Terry McLaurin (as expected) took all 3 snaps on the outside along with Treylon Burks (signaling he's a 3WR set starter, but that could be a rotation if they do move Diggs outside sometimes) Jacory Croskey-Merritt (came up gimpy in their last practice but should be fine) & Rachaad White missed the...PositiveDepth ChartAug 19, 2026
Your Commanders RB Depth Chart per @BenStandig Of course we don't fully know the split between Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad WhitePositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
On the Commanders RB situation: Rachaad White is Bill's "top complement" Also mentions the Commanders may keep 4RBs given how Henry stood out via @NickiJhabvalaPositiveNewsAug 13, 2026
Your Jacory Croskey-Merritt update that’s also a Rachaad White updatePositiveNewsAug 10, 2026
Commanders projected top 3 RBs: Jacory Croskey-Merritt (also listed as a potential breakout) Rachaad White Kaytron Allen Take: Bill is the ony I'd take above the others given what we've heard about getting him further ingrained into the pass game. @PatKerrane on the Legendary Spike Week pod also mentioned how Y2 RBs typically have breakouts - and its not necessarily obvious players. It's a cheap bet that I've leaned into. Via @NickiJhabvalaPositiveNewsAug 5, 2026
I still feel this way about Rachaad White and Samaje Perine (Spider-Man meme)PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026
Kenneth Gainwell will be on the field a lot The question is how much and does he have a path to more than a Rachaad White esque role? I think he’s a far better rusher than White, so there’s a chance He’s a player I’ve been targeting all summerPositiveNewsJul 22, 2026
I drafted Samaje Perine in the 106-116 range in 2023 and am not making the same mistake with Rachaad White in 2026PositiveNewsJul 21, 2026
On Jacory Croskey-Merritt vs Rachaad White: Everything I've read keeps pointing to JCM having the opportunity to be the featured back Again, signals are they don't want to tip run/pass with personnel Team needs JCM (more dynamic) to showcase pass pro & pass catchingPositiveNewsJul 21, 2026
Not exactly the same but part of me wonders if we’re propping up Jonathon Brooks too much (I’m still investing) He could be anything! He could even be as good as Rachaad White or Aaron Jones (in a similar situation) Still believe in the talent but one I look in the mirror forPositiveNewsJul 20, 2026
Commanders insider believes Jacory Croskey-Merritt making a jump in the pass game is the key to the offense Matching what was said out of camp - the team would prefer not to tip their hand on run vs pass w/ personnel Believe it is more likely Bill improves as a pass catcher vs Rachaad White as a runner Feel that Bill brings more explosiveness in the run game than anyone else Also mentions that Kaytron Allen’s game doesn’t lend itself to OTAs, so they’ll find out more on him soon
