J.D. McKissic News
Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic had eight carries for 40 yards along with three receptions for 16 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. In this performance, McKissic operated in a three-man backfield split with Antonio Gibson and Jonathan Williams that limited the upside of everyone involved. The 29-year-old also didn't have nearly as many receiving opportunities out of the backfield that managers have grown accustomed to seeing when Washington finds themselves in a negative game script. With rookie running back Brian Robinson returning to this backfield, it's looking like this setup could be the norm for the Commanders. If that ends up being the case, McKissic may be losing value as the season rolls on.
Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic should be seen as a desperation start in Week 4. The seventh-year veteran has proven to be largely a game script-dependent receiving back during his time in Washington, and that should be no different against the Dallas Cowboys. However, the silver lining in this matchup is that Dallas has a strong defense against wide receivers. If the Washington wideouts are being shut down for the majority of the game, check-down opportunities could open up for the 29-year-old. If fantasy managers are desperate for a spot start, McKissic could provide some okay value in Week 4.
Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic had three carries for eight yards along with six receptions on nine targets for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 29-year-old saw some work in the receiving game for the second week in a row due to the Commanders playing from behind for the entirety of the game. Negative game scripts have become McKissic's calling as of late. With Washington having a porous defense, they could be in plenty more of them as the season rolls on. McKissic doesn't offer upside as a runner, but his heavy usage as a pass catcher when Washington plays from behind gives him potential as a bench piece.

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic was so close to being a Buffalo Bill in 2022. But the Commanders plucked him right from the hands of Bills general manager Brandon Beane. It's clear they value McKissic's contributions on the football field, or they would have just let him walk in free agency. Being back with the Commanders is a positive for his fantasy value, given he's finished as the RB32 and RB28 in back-to-back seasons in PPR formats. McKissic's best asset is his ability as...
