Chris Rodriguez Jr. Carries Upside if he's Active Against Giants
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) is listed as questionable heading into Week 15 against the New York Giants. Rodriguez ran well again during Washington's 31-0 shutout loss last week against the Minnesota Vikings, compiling 52 yards on 10 carries. However, the Commanders had only seven total drives and were forced to pass as they played from behind all game. The 25-year-old has operated as Washington's primary early-down back with Jeremy McNichols handling passing-down responsibilities. He's recorded double-digit carries in four of the past five games, and he and Kyren Williams are the only two running backs with at least 25 carries to post a 70% rushing success rate or higher over that span. If he's active, Rodriguez will look to take advantage of a favorable matchup on Sunday against the division-rival Giants, who have the 31st-ranked rushing defense, allowing 154.2 rushing yards per game. C-Rod ranks as RotoBaller's RB26 in PPR leagues.
