Week 11 Running Back Rankings Outlooks
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had started every game since Week 5, but his recent struggles led to the team starting third-year back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Rodriguez ended up leaving the game early due to a shoulder injury, but he played 72% of the snaps in the first half compared to Croskey-Merritt at 16%. As a result of the injury and the game being out of hand, the rookie seventh-rounder played 65.4% of snaps in the second half. It was still another inefficient outing on the ground for the 24-year-old with just 30 yards on 11 carries.
Croskey-Merritt hasn't surpassed four yards per carry in a game since his 150-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 5 against the Chargers. Rodriguez's status will be updated throughout the week as the Commanders travel to Madrid to take on the Dolphins in Week 11, but it looks like Croskey-Merritt has lost grip on the starting running back duties in Washington.
Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai enjoyed a breakout game in the first start of his career in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals, recording 198 total yards on 29 touches. With starter D'Andre Swift returning in Week 10, Monangai was still a part of the offense, but took a backseat to Swift as he continues to run well this season. The rookie seventh-rounder played 39.1% of the snaps and had seven carries for 28 yards in Chicago's Week 10 win over the Giants. Swift, on the other hand, played 60.9% of the snaps and handled 18 touches for 98 yards from scrimmage.
The 60-40 split could be how head coach Ben Johnson manages the backfield moving forward, with Swift enjoying a resurgent season and Monangai serving as a physical, downhill back to complement Swift. Monangai remains a must roster player due to his upside when Swift is out and holds standalone value as a flex play for Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will have a tough matchup as his team returns from its bye week against the Texans, but he's worth a look from the waiver wire since he has been working in such a prominent role in the Titans' backfield. Spears missed the first four weeks of the season, but he played between 40% and 60% of the team's snaps in each of the last four weeks. In his five games, he has 30 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown, while adding 13 catches for 96 more yards.
He has at least three catches in each of the last four weeks and should be fully healthy coming down the stretch for the Titans. The offense has struggled under Cam Ward, but as the rookie finds his way, Spears could be an interesting late-season addition. He has some favorable RB matchups ahead with the Jaguars, 49ers, and Saints remaining on his schedule down the road.
Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has had a strong rookie campaign through eight games, handling 140 carries for 561 yards and five touchdowns to go with 14 catches (18 targets) for 70 yards as a receiver. The 22-year-old was bottled up on heavy usage in Cleveland's Week 10 loss at the Jets, averaging just 3.5 yards on 24 touches. Judkins has taken on one of the biggest workloads in the league as a rookie, with his 17.5 carries per game ranking sixth highest among running backs.
Cleveland's poor offensive situation has limited some of the upside, and he doesn't catch a ton of passes, but the rookie has still been productive, ranking as RB20 in PPR points per game (13.4). Judkins will remain on the RB1/RB2 border for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Woody Marks, Houston Texans
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks has continued to play in a larger role in the team's timeshare in recent weeks, and he found the end zone again on Sunday against the Jaguars. Marks took 14 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown while also adding two catches for 18 more yards. Nick Chubb only had five carries but managed 47 yards. Marks has done most of the work on passing downs and played a season-high 80% of snaps in Week 10, since he team played from behind against the Jaguars.
Marks will continue to share time with Chubb going forward, including in Week 11 against the Titans. If the Texans play from ahead, Chubb could get more of an even split, but Marks still has a very high ceiling in the favorable matchup against Tennessee and is a great addition if he's still on the waiver wire in your leagues.
