Projected role

With the recent coaching change to Dan Quinn, Croskey-Merritt's role is uncertain, though he projects as a high-floor FLEX option given his recent usage patterns.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (5 flags)

Risk Flags

Usage & Volume
Snap share fell from 64% to 36% and carry share to 32% across the final stretch of his rookie season, a real workload contraction that predates this year's added backfield competition.
Target Volume
His receiving profile is minimal (3% target share, 0.05 WOPR), and Washington brought in Rachaad White specifically as a passing-down complement expected to absorb most backfield targets, capping his PPR ceiling.
Depth Chart Crowding
The RB room is four-deep (White, Kaytron Allen, Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols), giving the coaching staff ready-made options to shift toward a committee if his early-down efficiency slips.
Injury Concerns
He entered Week 1 of 2026 listed as limited with a groin issue; reporting characterized it as minor, but soft-tissue injuries carry recurrence risk for a between-the-tackles runner.

Opportunity Flags

Offensive Context
He runs behind an ascending, dual-threat quarterback in Jayden Daniels within one of the league's more productive scoring offenses, which lifts the floor of whoever leads the backfield in carries.
