The Washington Commanders' running back group has been ranked last in the NFL ahead of the 2026 season by Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis. The roster includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who led the team with 805 rushing yards last season, and newcomer Rachaad White, who adds receiving capabilities. Other backs include Jeremy McNichols, Jerome Ford, Kaytron Allen, and undrafted rookie Robert Henry Jr. Questions surround the Commanders' running game, especially with Croskey-Merritt stepping into a larger role.
