Outlook Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Ascending Backfield Lead Poised for Touch Volume in Washington
Entering his second season, Jacory Croskey-Merritt sits atop Washington's depth chart as the primary early-down ball carrier. With Jerome Ford placed on injured reserve, Croskey-Merritt is positioned to lead the Commanders' ground attack alongside Rachaad White.
Coming off a 2025 campaign where he averaged 4.6 yards per carry on 175 attempts, our models project him for 800 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 180 carries. While a projected 12 receptions caps his ceiling in full PPR formats, his scoring volume provides a dependable weekly baseline.
Draft momentum is trending upward as his ADP climbed from 119 in mid-July to near 111. With his roster rate surging to 87%, he profiles as a reliable late-round value who could outperform his draft capital through rushing volume.

Outlook MarShawn Lloyd
Surging Preseason Momentum Positions Explosive Back as High-Upside Stash
After enduring two injury-plagued campaigns, MarShawn Lloyd is finally flashing his dynamic playmaking ability. Green Bay's coaching staff recently confirmed he is practicing without limitations, and he reinforced that optimism by finding the end zone with the starting offense in exhibition play.
Despite the positive buzz, Lloyd remains behind starter Josh Jacobs in Green Bay's backfield hierarchy alongside Chris Brooks. Our models project a modest rotational workload of 70 rush attempts for 300 yards and four total touchdowns (47.0 PPR points), capping his standalone weekly floor.
Fantasy drafters have taken notice of his clean bill of health. In 1.0 PPR drafts, Lloyd's ADP has skyrocketed from outside the top 400 in early August into the mid-150s. At his climbing price, he represents a high-upside bench stash with league-winning contingent value should injuries strike the backfield.
