Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez handled 15 of 28 team RB carries in Sunday's OT loss to Miami. The 25-year-old busted off 5.3 yards per carry, adding 6 yards on his only target.
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
Rodriguez looked excellent in this one, showing both power and decisiveness to maximize yardage. Per Next Gen Stats, he tallied an excellent 5.0 yards after contact per attempt.
Rodriguez started the game and handled the first eight backfield rush attempts. Jacory Croskey-Merritt mixed in for 9 carries and 28 yards. Jeremy McNichols rushed 4 times for 13 yards, adding 16 yards on 2 catches.
Rodriguez projects as a clear lead back going forward. The bad news is that Week 12 turns up a bye week, with neutral to bad matchups surfacing afterward (Denver, Minnesota). On the positive side? He draws the Giants (Week 15) and Cowboys (Week 17) during the fantasy playoffs.
Rodriguez should be owned in all formats.
