Jacory Croskey-Merritt's Recent Struggles Could Lead to Reduced Role

Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has been struggling recently, averaging only 3.1 yards per carry over his last four games. This downturn in performance could lead to a diminished role, with teammate Chris Rodriguez potentially stealing some of his workload against the Lions on Sunday. Rodriguez has shown better efficiency, averaging 4.9 yards per carry over the same span and coming off a strong 12-carry, 65-yard, one-touchdown outing. Given the uncertain backfield usage and Croskey-Merritt's recent struggles, fantasy analysts advise avoiding this situation in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
