• Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Staying in Washington

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  McNichols agreed to a one-year deal with Washington on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. McNichols mostly served as the No. 3 running back for the Commanders in 2024 behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler, and he'll likely do the same in 2025. McNichols finished the 2024 regular season with 55 carries for 261 yards and four touchdowns while adding nine catches (on 12 targets) for 27 yards and 164 kick return yards.

• Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Three touches in Week 17

  01/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  McNichols rushed once for five yards and caught two of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Falcons. McNichols operated as the Commanders' No. 2 running back behind Brian Robinson, playing just 22 of Washington's 83 offensive snaps Sunday. The 29-year-old running back has not been involved much on the ground lately, handling just five total carries since the Week 14 bye. Based on his limited usage, McNichols should not be relied upon for fantasy when the Commanders host the Cowboys in Week 18.

• Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Six touches in win

  12/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  McNichols rushed twice for three yards and caught all four of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles. McNichols' four targets, four catches and 15 receiving yards were all season highs in each category. The fourth-year running back played 19 of the Commanders' 68 offensive snaps, behind starter Brian Robinson (43) and ahead of Chris Rodriguez (7). Despite his uptick in usage in the passing game in Week 16, McNichols does not see enough consistent usage to be a viable fantasy option. The 28-year-old will look to contribute more on offense when the Commanders host the Falcons in Week 17.

• Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Minimal involvement against Saints

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  McNichols rushed twice for four yards and caught one of his two targets for zero yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints. McNichols played 22 of the Commanders' 78 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Brian Robinson (58) and well ahead of Chris Rodriguez (3). With Austin Ekeler (concussion) on injured reserve, the 28-year-old McNichols continues to operate as the team's primary backup out of the backfield, but his two rushes accounted for his lowest carry total since Week 8. The veteran running back will continue to see limited opportunities in Washington's offense as long as Robinson remains healthy. McNichols and the Commanders will host the Eagles in Week 16.

• Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Gets only six carries

  12/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  McNichols took six carries for 32 yards in a 42-19 win over the Titans on Sunday. McNichols didn't benefit much from Austin Ekeler's absence due to a concussion, with Brian Robinson getting most of the backfield touches early in the game and Chris Rodriguez then taking 11 carries during the fourth quarter. McNichols played 25 percent of snaps, well behind Robinson (47 percent) and slightly behind Rodriguez (28 percent), although the latter mostly played in the fourth quarter of a blowout. Ekeler will miss at least three more games after Washington's Week 14 bye, but any considerable fantasy value for McNichols might also require Robinson missing time.
