Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed 12 times for 43 yards and caught one pass for five yards in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. His performance came as he absorbed increased touches but averaged only 3.6 yards per carry. With Jayden Daniels suffering a significant elbow injury, Marcus Mariota's potential elevation as the starter may lead to a more ground-focused game plan, potentially increasing Croskey-Merritt's workload.
