Outlook Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Jacory Croskey-Merritt vs IND — Expanded Workload Ahead in London

Croskey-Merritt enters Week 4 as Washington's clear lead back with backfield mate Rachaad White ruled out due to a shoulder injury. The second-year runner handled 19 carries in his last outing and sits atop the depth chart, though the offense faces headwinds with quarterback Jayden Daniels sidelined and guard Sam Cosmi out.

Despite sluggish efficiency over his last two games (2.5 yards per carry), guaranteed volume keeps Croskey-Merritt firmly in fantasy relevance. Our weekly projection slots him for around 17 carries and 57 rushing yards against Indianapolis. While his passing-game involvement is virtually nonexistent, his monopoly on early-down work makes him a solid Flex option.

Outlook Kenyon Sadiq

Kenyon Sadiq at Chicago — Emerging rookie looks to maintain momentum despite questionable tag

Sadiq is listed as questionable with a back issue for Sunday's road matchup against the Bears, though head coach Aaron Glenn sounded confident the rookie will suit up. With Mason Taylor sidelined with a thumb injury, Sadiq is positioned as the lead receiving tight end after racking up seven receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown last week. Be sure to check back before kickoff for his official active status.

If cleared to play, Sadiq is an appealing option with the Jets also missing Breece Hall. Our weekly projection lands at 10.4 fantasy points on roughly 4 catches and 45 yards, putting him firmly in play as a solid streaming tight end.
