Outlook Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Washington's Projected Lead Back Offers Major Draft-Day Value
Despite his low-cost perception in drafts, Jacory Croskey-Merritt enters his sophomore season atop Washington's backfield depth chart ahead of Rachaad White. Our projections estimate him leading the team with 157 carries, positioning him for a substantial early-down workload.
We project him to turn those opportunities into 734 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Having averaged an efficient 4.6 yards per carry on 175 attempts as a rookie last year, his efficiency suggests a solid foundational floor.
His draft-day price has settled stably around an ADP of 119 over the past month, slightly down from early June. At this late-round range in PPR formats, the market is pricing him as a bench stash, making him an outstanding value target as a potential starting fantasy asset.

Declining Ownership Trends Signal a High-Risk, High-Reward Bet for the Veteran Dual-Threat
Deebo Samuel Sr. enters his eighth NFL season looking to stabilize his fantasy footprint after transitioning to Washington last year. In 2025, he logged a solid 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns across 16 games. However, his dual-threat capability took a hit as his rushing role scaled back to just 17 attempts.
Our data highlights a steady decline in fantasy manager confidence over the past month, with his ownership rate sliding down to 33% and active starting rates sitting at 15%. This suggests managers are increasingly wary of his weekly ceiling as he enters his age-30 season.
Despite the falling market sentiment, he still averaged a respectable 10.1 yards per catch last season. While he no longer profiles as a locked-in weekly starter, he remains an intriguing bench stash with flex appeal if his usage spikes.
