Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols worked mostly behind rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt in Week 5, rushing just once for six yards and catching one of two targets for 12 yards. McNichols matched third-year running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in snaps, each playing 13 snaps, while Croskey-Merritt led the way with 28. McNichols' role in pass protection is highly valued by the Washington coaching staff and will keep him involved in Washington's backfield committee. But his floor for touches is low, which limits his appeal in fantasy.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that fullback Patrick Ricard (soft tissue) is dealing with a "soft tissue thing" but should be able to return to practice before Week 1. Ricard has played in all 17 games for Baltimore in each of the last three regular seasons. While he's not a fantasy-relevant player himself, Ricard is a five-time Pro Bowler who plays an important role as a blocker in Baltimore's jumbo packages. If Ricard were to miss any time, it could negatively impact the rushing efficiency for Ravens running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson.
