Should You Start or Sit Croskey-Merritt in Week 13?
As it turns out, seventh round rookies have a hard time sustaining success at the professional level.
Who knew?
That job gets even more difficult when you are the talk of the summer and a role falls into your lap. Those who are feeling let down by the artist known as Bill are victim of unrealistic expectations, not a player who is underachieving.
Mid-October was the last time he ran for 40 yards in a game and that’s happened more recently than the last time he caught multiple passes. He might one day turn into a grinding back that we turn to for flex value as part of a committee, but in this situation, he’s a bit overmatched and now that he’s losing work, I’m not comfortable playing him in any capacity.
Washington’s season isn’t playing out how they had hoped and they are best served to limit the tread on the tires of Croskey-Merritt at this point. I still think he gets 9-12 touches and maybe that’s all you need, but with limitations in terms of versatility and scoring equity, he doesn’t project as a usable piece in most situations.
