News: 6 hours agoCroskey-Merritt (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Spin: Croskey-Merritt had his practice reps restricted during the entirety of Week 1 prep due to a lower-body injury that stems back to an Aug. 22 practice. Despite those listed limitations, he'll be available to the Commanders backfield this weekend, likely in some sort of timeshare with Rachaad White.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: One of the most hyped-up players entering the 2025 fantasy season, Croskey-Merritt didn't quite live up to lofty expectations, but he was certainly very busy for a seventh-round rookie. "Bill" played 39% of Washington's offensive snaps but, while he finished 23rd among backs in rushing yards, he wasn't much of a factor in the passing game (3% target share). Croskey-Merritt will now compete with newcomer Rachaad White in what appears to be setting up as a committee in Washington. The 25-year-old has shown to be an effective rusher (4.60 yards per carry, 2.19 YAC), but he'll need a big boost in receiving work to find his way into the RB2/flex discussion. He's worth only a late-round flier.
