Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt appears set to lead the team's backfield in Week 3 against the Raiders. With Austin Ekeler out for the season, Croskey-Merritt is expected to start and handle the most carries after touching the ball just four times in Week 2's loss to the Packers. The rookie has been super productive and dynamic on his touches this season, earning the highest rushing grade among all running backs, per PFF. He burst onto the scene with 10 rushes for 82 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut against the Giants and closed the game out with an explosive 42-yard rush on the team's final drive of the game. Third year back, Chris Rodriguez Jr. will be back in the fold now and could take away some early down work as well as short yardage and goal line carries with his hammer running style. And then veteran Jeremy McNichols will fill in for Ekeler and handle most of the pass-down responsibilities. Croskey-Merritt will continue to have to earn trust in pass protection and other areas without the ball before being thrust into an every-down role. With Marcus Mariota filling in for an injured Jayden Daniels, Croskey-Merritt can still be fired up as an RB2 against the Raiders in Week 2.--Kyle McCarthy
