Jeremy McNichols

RB · #134

WAS · RB · Age 30

SIT

Jeremy McNichols' recent injury status shift to IR on August 31 signals a significant drop in his viability for the upcoming season.

Role & volume

Over the last four games, McNichols averaged just 35% snap share and 24.3% carry share in Week 15, indicating limited usage even when healthy.

Projected role

With Dan Quinn taking over as head coach and McNichols' injury status moving to IR, there's no clear indication of an increased role or opportunity for the RB.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Given his recent performance metrics and injury concerns, McNichols projects a low floor with minimal upside potential in 2025 Week 19.

Risk Flags

Depth Chart Crunch
Washington's offseason backfield additions of Rachaad White, Jerome Ford, and Kaytron Allen on top of incumbent Jacory Croskey-Merritt have McNichols stuck at RB4 on a depth chart that has been stable since Week 1, leaving little runway to climb into a real touch share.
Injury / Availability
A quadriceps injury suffered in August 2026 training camp landed McNichols on injured reserve to open the season, with a return-designation window that keeps him sidelined until at least Week 5 and further squeezes an already crowded backfield.
