Week 7 Running Back Rankings Outlooks

Jacory Croskey Merritt, Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had his worst performance of the season in Week 6 against the Bears, handling 17 carries for 61 yards with one reception for seven yards and losing a fumble for the second consecutive game. It's concerning to see him put the ball on the ground this frequently, but the coaching staff showed faith in him and went right back to him.

On a positive note, the rookie seventh-rounder posted his highest snap share of the season at 66.7%. Croskey-Merritt should again handle the bulk of the touches in Week 7 against a Dallas defense that just allowed Rico Dowdle to rack up 239 total yards. They are allowing the fourth-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs, which sets up Croskey-Merritt for a nice bounce-back game. He is a must-start in Week 7.

Kimani Vidal, Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal proved himself as the clear leader in the backfield during the team's 29-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins, handling 70% of the snaps and rushing for 124 yards on 18 carries. He also caught three passes for 14 yards and scored a touchdown. Vidal's tough running, which averaged 6.89 yards per carry last week, helped lighten the load on quarterback Justin Herbert.

Although the Indianapolis Colts have a strong rush defense, Vidal's likely heavy usage, especially with fellow backup running back Hassan Haskins listed as questionable (chest), makes him a solid volume-based starter. RotoBaller projects Vidal as RB21 this week. He is a low-end RB2 and should be in your lineup, especially if Haskins is limited.

Travis Etienne Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
