Outlook Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Cleared for Season Opener in Philadelphia

Croskey-Merritt was cleared to play against the Eagles after nursing a groin injury that limited him in practice earlier in the week. While he sits atop Washington's depth chart ahead of Rachaad White, head coach Dan Quinn noted uncertainty regarding potential workload limitations for the opener.

Rostered in 89% of leagues but started in just 6%, fantasy managers are taking a wait-and-see approach. Our projections expect around 47 rushing yards on 10 carries with minimal passing-game involvement (9.2 fantasy points). With Washington entering as 5.5-point road underdogs, Croskey-Merritt is best viewed as a risky flex or bench stash until his weekly volume is proven.

Outlook Jacob Saylors

Jacob Saylors vs. NO — Rotational Role Beckons with Pacheco Sidelined

With Isiah Pacheco landing on injured reserve due to a back injury, Jacob Saylors is positioned to see complementary snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Head coach Dan Campbell noted the Lions may utilize a committee between Saylors and Sione Vaki for RB2 duties after Saylors led the NFL in preseason scrimmage yards.

Even in a favorable home matchup with high-scoring potential, Saylors' immediate fantasy viability remains low. Our projections call for roughly 3.5 carries and 18 total yards (2.8 fantasy points), making the lightly rostered back someone to monitor on waivers rather than deploy in starting lineups.
