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 Pat Bryant

Pat Bryant at San Francisco — Low-Volume Slot Option Facing Tough Road Test

Bryant operates as Denver's top slot receiver alongside Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, but he remains a low-volume option in Bo Nix's offense. After hauling in two passes for 44 yards and a touchdown against the Rams, Bryant has commanded just nine total targets across three games.

Facing an undefeated 49ers squad in an outdoor matchup with an encouraging 48-point total, Bryant's weekly floor is quite fragile. With roster rates below 10% and virtually zero starting trust, our projections expect roughly 3 catches and 31 receiving yards, leaving him off standard fantasy radars.
