Jacory Croskey-Merritt in London vs. Colts — Workload Primed to Expand

Operating as Washington's primary early-down runner, Croskey-Merritt has handled 31 carries over the last two weeks heading into a neutral-site clash in London. His path to touches looks even clearer this week, as backfield mate Rachaad White is battling a shoulder injury that sidelined him in practice.

Our models project roughly 17 rushes for 57 yards and 10.6 fantasy points, making him a viable flex option across standard and PPR leagues. Although his 3.0 yards per carry this season and an offensive line managing injuries present efficiency hurdles, his locked-in touch volume provides a bankable fantasy floor.

Outlook Jaylen Wright

Jaylen Wright at Minnesota — Increased Opportunity Meets Murky Injury Status

With lead back De'Von Achane lost for the season to a torn ACL, Jaylen Wright is in line for an expanded workload alongside rookie Ollie Gordon II. However, Wright is currently tagged as questionable after logging a limited session on Wednesday due to a foot injury, making his late-week practice participation critical to monitor.

Fantasy managers have rushed to add Wright, pushing his roster rate to 40%, though he remains a volatile lineup choice if cleared. Our projections forecast roughly 30 rushing yards on 7 to 8 carries with modest passing involvement. Facing an undefeated Minnesota defense as heavy road underdogs severely limits Miami's game script and Wright's scoring upside.
