J.D. McKissic is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 9 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR)
ROSTERED IN: 57% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: A collection of fantasy managers removed McKissic from their rosters within the past week, which has dropped his rostership percentage below 60%. Why this occurred is uncertain, as his ongoing involvement as a receiving weapon remains intact. McKissic leads Washington’s backfield in targets (42), receptions (33), and receiving yards (332). He is now second among all backs in targets from Weeks 2-8 (33), and expanded his season total by collecting all eight of his targets when The Football Team traveled to Denver in Week 8.
McKissic has supplemented his production as a pass-catcher by averaging 4.0 attempts per game. He has also attained a 47% snap share, which has risen to 57% since Week 6. Antonio Gibson appears to have recovered from his protracted shin issue, although Washington’s ongoing deficiencies should result in game scripts that are conducive to McKissic’s continued utilization as a receiving back. His workload would also increase if Gibson is sidelined for any reason. McKissic should be rostered in all PPR leagues and should function as a dependable resource following Washington's bye.
