Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed 16 times for a team-high 65 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles, while adding an 18-yard reception on his lone target.,
Huddle Up: Rodriguez emerged as the lead back down the stretch in 2025, but the future is still, likely, Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The backfield battle will be fun to watch in the summer. Jeremy McNichols is a free agent, and it's hard to imagine Austin Ekeler coming back and factoring in. Washington could still add a veteran free agent, or consider taking a back in the draft, so don't get carried away with Bill or Rodriguez. But, if those two go into training camp, and emerge as one of the top backfield options, they'll be decent RB3 or flex fantasy option in 2026.

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) is out for the Christmas Day game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols will share the load. JCM has touchdowns in two straight games and has the upside among the two flex candidates.

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed 15 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in a 29-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Rodriguez returned from a one-game absence and picked up where he left off, leading the Washington backfield in carries and total touches. He appears locked in as the lead back, and he can be a reliable RB3 or flex option for fantasy owners.
