"Jacory Croskey-Merritt wakes up his alarm clock and gives the sun permission to set. He's the most popular out-of-nowhere running back in recent fantasy football memory, but at the end of the day, he's still a Day 3 running back. And Day 3 running backs get replaced. [Jeremiyah] Love is the consensus top running back in the class and would be an injection of dynamic youth to the oldest roster in football."
"Stocks have already risen or fallen around 2026 NFL Draft prospects just one week into the college football season. The Washington Commanders are a long way off from making their choices just yet, but that doesn't mean those behind the scenes or scouting on the road aren't keeping a close eye on developments. Needs will be determined by Washington's efforts throughout the campaign."
Early college football season movement has already shifted 2026 NFL Draft prospect stocks, drawing attention from Washington's scouts. The Commanders traded Brian Robinson Jr., leaving Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt as current running back options. Team needs will depend on in-season performance and coaching decisions under Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Adam Peters. Mock draft projections place Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love as a potential first-round target at No. 24, offering a home-run, three-down skill set to complement mobile quarterback Jayden Daniels and inject youth into an older roster.
