What It Means:

“All training camp, I just wanted to show them that I’ll do all of that,” McKissic said. “Not to limit myself to just be a one-run type back. That means a lot to me to be able to get those type of runs in games to be a guy that’s 198 pounds." McKissic led all running backs with 110 targets last season and had the second-most catches (80) behind Alvin Kamara (83). However, McKissic was third on Washington in carries (85) behind Peyton Barber (94) and Antonio Gibson (170). Despite McKissic's efforts in the weight room this offseason, he is likely only going to see consistent rush attempts if Gibson suffers an injury. Furthermore, checkdown specialist Alex Smith's retirement and Gibson's expected development in his second season, point toward reduced usage for McKissic in the passing game.

numberFire's models project McKissic for a modest 57.1 carries this season and essentially an even split in targets between McKissic (62.5) and Gibson (62.0). McKissic's current ADP is RB41 in PPR leagues, per Fantasy Football Calculator. He ranked 39th in Rushing Net Expected points per carry last season out of 76 backs with at least 50 attempts.
