NFL:
With the Commanders backfield in flux, who is most likely to lead the early-season carries between Rodriguez and Croskey-Merritt?
Qwiket AI:
Rodriguez starts with the best natural fit for early-down volume, as shown by the first-drive workload and six carries for 62 yards. Croskey-Merritt carries ceiling upside thanks to rookie hype, but Week 1 likely leans Rodriguez with Croskey-Merritt rotating in. The pattern could shift if Robinson is traded or the rookies seize more reps.
