Sees double-digit touches in win McNichols carried the ball nine times for just six yards and caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.

Impact With Chris Rodriguez (groin) unavailable, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the Commanders' backfield with 18 carries for 96 yards and a TD, but McNichols also saw double-digit touches for the first time all season, although he did little with the volume. It's not yet clear if Rodriguez will be able to return in Week 16 against the Eagles, but McNichols will be little more than a dart throw either way for fantasy purposes. He's topped 50 scrimmage yards in a game just twice this year, and hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 3.

More work available with Rodriguez out McNichols is in line for more work Sunday at the Giants with Chris Rodriguez (groin) inactive for the contest.

Impact Rodriguez logged a pair of limited practices during Week 15 prep due to a groin issue, and after being listed as questionable ahead of the weekend, he'll get at least one week off to focus on his rehab. His 55 touches from the past five outings thus are available, but Jacory Croskey-Merritt seems likeliest to benefit on early downs, while McNichols serves in a change-of-pace role. McNichols is averaging 3.8 touches for 27.8 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD in 13 appearances on the campaign.

Used sparsley on offense McNichols caught his lone target for two yards and did not record a carry during the Commanders' 31-0 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Sunday marked the first time since Week 2 against the Packers that McNichols failed to record a carry, and his two-yard catch from Jayden Daniels (elbow) was his lone contribution on offense. McNichols' 18 offensive snaps were behind Chris Rodriguez (22) and ahead of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (10), but none of Washington's three running backs saw the field more than 42 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Through 13 regular-season games, McNichols has turned 32 carries into 211 yards (6.6 YPC) and a touchdown and has caught 18 passes (on 23 targets) for 151 yards.

Fortunate flags: How the Broncos extended their win streak to 9 with a little help from officials

The Denver Broncos' 27-26 victory in overtime at Washington extended their winning streak to nine games

DECEMBER 2 • Associated Press

Eight touches vs. Denver McNichols rushed six times for 30 yards and caught both of his targets for no yards in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

Impact The 29-year-old's eight touches were the most he's received in a single game this season, playing behind Chris Rodriguez (11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown) but ahead of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (four carries for 20 yards). McNichols role in Washington's backfield has grown over the last three games, logging 15 carries for 68 yards and catching all five of his targets for 20 yards during that span. He's likely to operate as the Commander's top pass-catching back in the Week 14 matchup against the Vikings.

Six touches in Week 11 loss McNichols turned four carries into 13 yards and added two catches on as many targets for 16 yards during the Commanders' 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Three of McNichols' six touches came in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, though he was firmly entrenched as the Commanders' RB3 behind Chris Rodriguez and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Through 11 regular-season games, McNichols has turned 26 carries into 181 yards and one touchdown while catching 15 passes (on 20 targets) for 139 yards.

Minimal output in loss McNichols rushed once for no yards during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Coming off his best game of the season in the Week 8 loss to the Chiefs, McNichols tallied his lowest yardage total of the year in Week 9. The veteran running back was also held without a catch Sunday for the first time since the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Raiders. Over nine appearances this season, McNichols has tallied 272 yards and one touchdown on 29 touches. He's expected to remain the Commanders' top reserve RB heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Paces pass catchers in loss McNichols rushed once for four yards and brought in five of six targets for 64 yards in the Commanders' 28-7 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Impact The veteran running back was once again minimally involved on the ground, but he posted team-high and season-best reception and receiving yardage totals. McNichols also tied for the team lead in targets while setting a new season-long high-water mark in that category, and he projects to remain in a similar role irrespective of who's under center for the Commanders in a Week 9 home matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night.

Impact The Boise State product logged 21 offensive snaps and operated as Washington's No. 2 running back in the Week 7 loss, playing behind rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt (33 snaps) but ahead of Chris Rodriguez (nine snaps). McNichols also led the Commanders' backfield in targets and receptions, serving as the team's primary pass-catching back. He's expected to maintain a similar role in the team's Week 8 matchup again Chiefs.

Totals 35 yards versus Chicago McNichols rushed two times for five yards and caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Monday night's loss to the Bears.

Impact McNichols played 32 percent of the offensive snaps and set new season-highs in targets, catches and receiving yards against the Bears. The Commanders appear to have settled on Jacory Croskey-Merritt as the lead ball-carrier on early downs with McNichols as the passing-down back, as Chris Rodriguez played just one offensive snap and didn't touch the ball Monday night.

OCTOBER 9 • FOX SPORTS

Logs 18 yards in Week 5 McNichols rushed once for six yards and caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

Impact The Boise State product has now tallied just five touches over the Commanders' last two games, suggesting he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. Although McNichols played more offensive snaps than Chris Rodriguez (14 to 13), he recorded three fewer touches. Additionally, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt broke out for 150 total yards on 16 touches, further cementing McNichols status as a reserve option. He's likely to have a similar role in the Week 6 matchup against the Bears, playing primarily on passing downs.
