Who Should I Start? Jeremy McNichols or Tyrion Davis-Price

Tuesday, March 11, 4:37 PM

The Washington Commanders are re-signing running back Jeremy McNichols to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, a source tells ESPN's John Keim. Although McNichols wasn't on the fantasy radar at all last year in his first year in D.C., he was a valuable member of the team's RB room as a backup for his blitz pickups while also contributing a career-high 267 rushing yards and a career-high four rushing touchdowns on 55 carries over 17 regular-season games (one start). He also had nine catches for 27 yards and added nine yards and a touchdown on five carries in three playoff games. With both Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler returning to the Commanders' backfield in 2025, McNichols will open the year as the No. 3 RB and will have a bigger role on special teams as a return man. The 29-year-old has only 625 rushing yards and five rushing TDs on 145 carries over seven NFL seasons.

Per the team, the Philadelphia Eagles have waived running back Tyrion Davis-Price. The former San Francisco 49er spent his first two seasons in the league with the organization after they drafted him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Davis-Price was productive in his final season at LSU, rushing for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 221 carries (4.8 YPC). However, he hasn't quite carved out a role at the NFL level. During his stint with San Francisco, the 24-year-old rushed 40 times for 120 yards (seven appearances), failing to catch either of his targets. In 2024, he suited up just once, toting three carries for seven yards. He may find some work on special teams, as Davis-Price possesses solid athleticism, but he doesn't figure to stick in an offense or make an impact for fantasy.
