J.D. McKissic Fantasy

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic rushed twice for five yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday. McKissic added eight yards on two catches in the passing game. McKissic was on the field a lot for Washington, but seemed to do more blocking than route running as the passing-down specialist saw only three targets. He salvaged some fantasy value with a two-yard touchdown plunge, just his second rushing score this season. McKissic proved his value this season as an elite pass-catcher with 80 receptions this season, second to only Alvin Kamara. He'll be an asset in PPR leagues heading into 2021.

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic had a sneaky good season as a passing-down specialist and faces the ideal matchup in the opening round of the playoffs. McKissic led all running backs with 110 targets this season, and his 80 receptions were second to only Alvin Kamara. Tampa Bay's pass-funnel defense plays right into McKissic's wheelhouse, as the Bucs allowed a league-leading 101 receptions to running backs. McKissic's upside is limited by rookieAntonio Gibsonreturning last week and handling the bulk of the carries. However, McKissic has a safe floor because of his role in the passing game.

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic caught five passes for 30 yards and handled just two carries for no yards in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. McKissic was involved with eight targets, but he couldn't get much going against an Eagles Defense surprisingly good at defending pass-catching running backs. McKissic finishes the season as one of just two running backs (Alvin Kamara) to have over 100 targets as he carved out a solid role in the offense as a check down option for Alex Smith. McKissic is a solid PPR option at running back and will take on a good Buccaneers Defense in the first round of the playoffs.
