McNichols rushed once for minus-one yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. McNichols played just seven percent of offensive snaps versus Chicago, his lowest total since Week 2. Brian Thomas (58 percent of snaps) and Austin Ekeler (47 percent of snaps) remain the clear top options in the Commanders' backfield, but if either misses time, McNichols will be first in line for added opportunities. From Week 4 to Week 7, McNichols rushed for at least 40 yards in three of four contests.

McNichols rushed seven times for 42 yards in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. On a day when the Commanders dominated the Panthers, McNichols saw some added carries as Washington's No. 3 running back. The 28-year-old played just 17 of the Commanders' 69 offensive snaps in the contest behind Austin Ekeler (28) and Brian Robinson (26). Heading into a Week 8 matchup with Chicago, McNichols doesn't hold much value for fantasy with both Robinson and Ekeler healthy.

It was disappointing to see McNichols get only two carries for 9 yards in Week 6 at Baltimore with Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) out, but that was a tough matchup against the Ravens. If Robinson remains out again in Week 7 against the Panthers then I like McNichols as a flex option since he'll continue to work in tandem with Austin Ekeler. Carolina is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and McNichols is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

McNichols took two carries for nine yards in a 30-23 loss to Baltimore on Sunday. McNichols had 118 total yards and three TDs on 15 touches over the previous two games, taking on extra work with Austin Ekeler and then Brian Robinson (knee) limited/absent due to injuries. Robinson missed Sunday's game in Baltimore, but the Commanders didn't attempt many rushes against a stout run defense, and McNichols finished without a target despite playing 39 percent of snaps and running 17 routes (just three fewer than Ekeler). McNichols will almost certainly get more touches if Robinson misses another contest Week 7 against Carolina, but Ekeler would still be the much safer bet for volume and production.

McNichols carried the ball seven times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Browns. Even with Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler both healthy, McNichols saw a significant workload in the second half of Sunday's rout, capping his day with a three-yard TD run in the third quarter. The Commanders' offense has been potent enough of late that there could be touches available for all three RBs, and McNichols has gotten into the end zone three times in the last two contests, but he's still third in the backfield pecking order heading into a Week 6 meeting with the Ravens.
