Should You Start or Sit McNichols in Week 11?
Jeremy McNichols got a season-high five carries last week against the Lions due to the blowout nature of that game and was easily the most effective of the Washington RBs on the ground.
Week 10 vs. Detroit
- Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 11 carries for 30 yards
- McNichols: 5 carries for 25 yards
- Chris Rodriguez Jr.: 6 carries for 16 yards, TD
Rodriguez got the short touchdown, but does it matter? If you’re chasing touches in this backfield, my guess is that you’re simply playing out the string of a lost season and potentially tanking for draft position in 2026.
The Dolphins matchup is still a good one, even with them looking better over the past three weeks, but unless rules come down that ban them from putting 11 men on the field, I’d rather avoid this backfield altogether.
Croskey-Merritt remains the lead back, and that role keeps him on the back-end of rosters, while the other two deserve no consideration.
