J.D. McKissic News
Washington Commanders running backs Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic are likely to continue working in tandem in the backfield in 2022. Gibson, a former third-round pick out of Memphis, has rushed for 1,832 yards and 18 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons, adding 78 catches for 541 yards and three more scores. He ran for a career-high 1,037 yards and had 42 catches for 294 yards and three touchdowns, becoming the third player in franchise history to rush for 1,000 yards in his first two seasons. Gibson led all rookies with 11 rushing TDs in his first season in 2020. The 23-year-old is a versatile and explosive back, but his RB1 shine loses a little luster now that McKissic is back in the fold as the pass-catching option.
Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic recently stated that he has "unfinished business" in D.C., which is why he chose to stay after rescinding a two-year, $7 million verbal agreement with the Bills. The 28-year-old played only 11 games last season because of a neck injury. He ended the year with 212 yards and two touchdowns off 48 carries. However, he made most of his noise by catching passes out of the backfield, amassing 43 receptions for 397 yards and two scores. McKissic also stated his neck is feeling "fine," and while he's still listed behind Antonio Gibson on the depth chart, there's still room for him to get involved in the offense this season. His presence could also be bad news for Gibson, who may get fewer opportunities to produce on the fantasy end.
Free-agent running back J.D. McKissic, who intended to sign a two-year, $7 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, has changed his mind and will now re-sign with the Washington Commanders for the same compensation, according to sources. The reversal of course is good news for Bills running back Devin Singletary and bad news for Commander running back Antonio Gibson. While Gibson should remain Washington's primary back in 2022, McKissic will take away valuable pass-catching work as a change of pace. McKissic played in only 11 games in 2021 due to an injury, but he had a career-high 80 receptions on 110 targets for 589 yards and two touchdowns in the passing game in 2020, and he should once again be useful in PPR formats in 2022.
