The Washington Commanders will host the Detroit Lions in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Chris Rodriguez Jr..
Is Rodriguez Playing in Week 10?
Rodriguez is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Rodriguez in Week 10?
I thought Chris Rodriguez ran reasonably hard in the blowout loss to the Seahawks on Sunday night (12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown), but he comes with similar limitations as Jacory Croskey-Merritt and that means that the contingent value is minimal at best.
And that value took a hit with the Jayden Daniels injury that saps this offense of some scoring equity.
I don’t doubt that Rodriguez would be the proper add should JCM get hurt, but I do doubt that such a role would lock him into lineups.
If you have a roster spot to burn and are low on RB depth, sure. Outside of that very specific situation, there are likely a dozen receivers on your waiver wire that have a better ROS outlook as you cycle through flex players to hold for the stretch run.
