J.D. McKissic News
Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic is entering himself into weekly FLEX consideration as he once again has carved out a significant role in the passing game. With Antonio Gibson (shin) banged up, McKissic could see some increased reps as a ball-carrier along with his significant target share in the passing game. The 28-year-old led Washington in both receptions and receiving yards last week, as the offense was forced into a pass-heavy game script. This could once again be the case in Week 7 as Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will give the Washington defense all they can handle. He out-touched Gibson 16-12 in the loss to Kansas City, meaning we could see a repeat of this if the offense starts chasing the game. Considering the matchup, McKissic is a borderline top-20 play and offers RB2 upside in PPR leagues.
Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic led the team in receptions and receiving yards with eight catches for 65 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He added 45 yards on the ground on just eight carries, so he was extremely efficient out of the backfield against a weak Kansas City defense. The negative game script allowed McKissic to have a significant role, as he is still clearly above Antonio Gibson in terms of the receiving game. Fantasy managers shouldn't get accustomed to this type of usage, as Gibson will still have a huge role in the offense moving forward, making McKissic a FLEX-play at best in deep leagues. However, if he were to miss any time, McKissic's fantasy value would skyrocket.
Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic found the end zone once again in Week 4, as he finished with 15 yards on the ground and an additional 44 yards through the air with a receiving touchdown. McKissic will continue to have FLEX-appeal in deeper leagues because of his role in the passing game, and his value would skyrocket if Gibson were to miss any time going forward. In Week 5 against New Orleans, McKissic could play a more significant role than usual if Gibson is unable to find rushing lanes against the elite run defense of the Saints.
