Jeremy McNichols

Jeremy McNichols rushed eight times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in the Commanders’ Week 4 win over the Cardinals.

McNichols was surprisingly filling in for Austin Ekeler. The seventh-year journeyman made the Commanders’ roster out of camp and wound up rushing for a career-high 68 yards in Sunday’s win. McNichols turned some heads in the second quarter when he broke off a 27-yard touchdown down the left sideline to put the Commanders up 14-7, and found the end zone again on a seven-yard score late in the fourth quarter. McNichols makes for an interesting fantasy stash behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler, but we wouldn’t advise using a top waiver priority on him with Ekeler (concussion) likely back for Week 5 against the Browns.
