Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Chris Rodriguez is a touchdown-dependent flex again this week with a nice matchup. Since Week 11, he has averaged 12.3 touches and 59.3 total yards as Washington's backfield leader. During that span, he has had 64.2% of the running back red zone carries. Rodriguez has only two targets, one reception, and six receiving yards this season, so if you're playing him, just understand that he offers nothing through the air. He has been quite good as a rusher, though. Among 57 qualifying rushers, he ranks 33rd in explosive run rate and first in yards after contact per attempt. The Giants remain a horrendous run defense. Since Week 10, they have allowed the most rushing yards per game, the highest explosive run rate, the third-highest missed tackle rate, and the most yards after contact per attempt. Rodriguez is dealing with a groin issue. He had limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable. 

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) is officially inactive for Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez was considered a game-time decision after being listed as questionable to play Sunday. With Rodriguez out, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt should see increased snaps against the Giants.
