Outlook Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Jacory Croskey-Merritt vs. Seattle — Flex Value Facing an Offensive Downgrade

Croskey-Merritt's workload continues to trend up after logging 28 carries across his first two games while sharing touches with Rachaad White in the Washington backfield. He is fully healthy after shaking off an early-season groin issue, but the offense faces an uphill battle with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels doubtful due to an elbow injury.

Our weekly projection anticipates Croskey-Merritt handling roughly 12 to 13 carries for 49 rushing yards and around 9.5 fantasy points. Roster rates have climbed to 95%, but with Washington pegged as home underdogs and offering little passing-game involvement, he profiles as a matchup-dependent flex option whose scoring ceiling is limited by the team's quarterback uncertainty.
