Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols could see an increased role if Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) misses his second-straight game. McNichols served as the No. 2 running back last weekend but registered only two carries for nine yards. However, in the previous two weeks, McNichols tallied 112 rushing yards with three scores. While the 28-year-old only saw the field when the Commanders had a sizable lead, this could happen again this weekend, facing a weak Carolina team. DFS players looking for a high-risk, high-reward option or redraft managers needing a desperation flex option should consider putting McNichols in their lineup as the Commanders could have a comfortable lead in the second half, opening the door for him to see opportunities late in the game.
Still trying to decide between Johnson and McNichols? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Duke Johnson is projected to score 0.0 points this week while Jeremy McNichols is projected to score 1.2 points.
