By Jared Smola | Updated on Fri, Oct 10 2025 8:03 PM UTC

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez (calf) has missed the first two practices of the week, putting his availability for Monday night's game vs. the Bears in doubt. Rodriguez has seemingly fallen clear behind RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the pecking order and shouldn't be in your Week 6 fantasy plans. But his absence would make Croskey-Merritt an even stronger fantasy start. We'll see how Rodriguez is listed on the final injury report on Saturday.
