Chris Rodriguez INACTIVE

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez is inactive for today's game vs. the Cowboys after waking up sick this morning. That leaves RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the lead role. He carried 18 times for 96 yards and a score on a 55% snap rate when Rodriguez missed Week 15. That came in a Commanders win over a pathetic Giants run defense, though. Dallas' run defense has been better since adding DL Quinnen Williams, who's active today. And the Commanders are 8.5-point underdogs. That leaves Croskey-Merritt as a risk/reward RB3 in fantasy lineups.
