Commanders sign RB Chase Edmonds

Running back Chase Edmonds, who last played with the Bucs in 2023, is signing to the Commanders' practice squad. Veteran back joins a talented, young backfield after Austin Ekeler's Achilles injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Edmonds played under OC Kliff Kingsbury in Arizona as well, so this move makes some sense for the Commanders. However, Edmonds likely won't make a fantasy impact right away, if at all. Edmonds is expected to still be behind Croskey-Merritt and McNichols, and probably Rodriguez too, who should at least has a chance to be active on game days going forward.

Commanders RB Austin Ekeler likely suffers torn Achilles Thursday night

Commanders believe veteran RB Austin Ekeler did in fact tear his Achilles during Thursday night’s loss at Green Bay. Ekeler still needs to undergo imaging that is scheduled Friday for confirmation.

Fantasy Impact:

Rodriguez has been a healthy scratch twice to begin the season and wasn't pegged for the third-down role to begin with, so we should imagine most of the work will go to Croskey-Merritt and McNichols, unless the Commanders bring in another body (which is very possible). For now, JCM should be boosted into legit RB2 consideration based on matchup, while McNichols is somwhere in the RB4/5 range.

Commanders list Austin Ekeler as RB1

The Commanders listed Austin Ekeler as the team's RB1.

Fantasy Impact:

The most surprising part of this is the team listed Croskey-Merritt as the team's RB4, which maybe shows just how much, or little, these depth charts mean. McNichols was the RB2 with Rodriguez the RB3. Ekeler probably isn't going to be asked to carry a full workload at the age of 30, not to mention his recent injury history. JCM owners shouldn't panic just yet, but you may want to think about other options for your lineup until we see just how this plays out.

Commanders expected to move on from RB Brian Robinson

Ian Rapoport on X

Aug 19, 2025 · 8:09 PM EDT

From The Insiders on NFL Network: The Commanders will likely move on from RB Brian Robinson Jr., a rare starting RB available.

Fantasy Impact:

This isn't really a surprise, but there was some talk that made it seem like the door may still be open for Robinson to stay when the news first broke. But that no longer appears to be the case. It seems, according to Rapoport, the team just doesn't want to extend Robinson, and nothing necessarily happened between the two sides. Rapoport said the Commanders could eat some salary to get a better draft pick in return. The Commanders will likely turn the RB duties over to Ekeler, Croskey-Merritt, McNichols and Rodriguez.
