        Jeremy McNichols Out Months With Foot Injury

        Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols is expected to miss multiple months with a foot injury suffered in Sunday night's win over the Eagles, according to The Athletic's Tashan Reed. McNichols had been working in a 3-RB committee with Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler the past two weeks, totaling 10 carries and one target. That 3-man committee will now be a 2-man committee, at least for the next two weeks with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on IR. Ekeler is still unlikely to be a fantasy asset, but White gets a boost.

        Rachaad White finished Week 8 as the RB14 pending Monday Night Football after turning a season-high 11 carries into 55 yards and a TD while adding five more yards on 2 receptions. He’s led the Commanders backfield in rush attempts each of the past two weeks with fellow RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt being placed on IR following a groin injury.

        The Commanders are placing RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on IR with his groin injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. JCM was already ruled out for tonight's game vs. the 49ers but will now miss at least 3 more. We won't see him until Week 11 at the earliest, making Croskey-Merritt droppable in shallower fantasy leagues. Washington activated RB Jeremy McNichols from IR in a corresponding move. He joins Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler in the backfield. We're expecting White to control the work, but we'll see what the backfield looks like tonight.

        ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Commanders "plan" to rule RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt out for Monday night's game against the 49ers because of his groin injury. Croskey-Merritt missed practice all week.

        Update: Croskey-Merritt has been ruled out. HC Dan Quinn said he aggravated the groin injury he suffered in late August. JCM at least gets a well-timed Week 7 bye.

        The Commanders released RB Kaytron Allen. He essentially lost his roster spot to 31-year-old Austin Ekeler. Tough look for the sixth-round rookie, who averaged 3.4 yards per carry on 12 attempts for Washington. We'll see where Allen lands next, but he's not worth rostering in redraft leagues and isn't a must-stash in dynasty. The Commanders move forward with RBs Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, and Ekeler.

        1. 1 Jacory Croskey-Merritt WAS RB
        2. 2 Rachaad White WAS RB
