Rhamondre Stevenson is Bottled up in Week 6

Sunday, October 18, 4:26 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was unable to find much success on the ground during Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. He carried the ball 14 times for 36 yards during Sunday's victory. He only managed 2.6 yards per carry, which was one of his worst performances of the season. Both TreVeyon Henderson and Corey Kiner had much better success on the ground. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Pats decrease Stevenson's workload and give more carries to Henderson and Kiner. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how this plays out. The 28-year-old is hopeful for better days against the Chicago Bears in Week 7.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Headed to Injured Reserve with Groin Issue

Monday, October 19, 12:11 PM

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is being placed on Injured Reserve due to a groin issue, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Croskey-Merritt was already ruled out for Washington's Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football and will now miss at least through Week 10. Across five games in 2026, the 25-year-old had recorded 67 carries for 239 yards and two touchdowns while splitting backfield work with veteran Commanders back Rachaad White. Croskey-Merritt's lack of pass-game involvement limited his fantasy upside, but he was largely Washington's preferred option on early downs. With Croskey-Merritt sidelined, Washington's backfield now looks like a true committee between White, Austin Ekeler, and Jeremy McNichols, whom the team activated from the Injured Reserve on Monday.
