  Commanders | J.D. McKissic out for season    Sat Nov 19, 11:15 AM

Washington Commanders RB J.D. McKissic (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Injured because of his lingering neck injury and will miss the rest of the season.

Footballguys view: Neck injuries are nothing to mess around with. They can linger and they are tricky to recover from for most players. Without McKissic, the Commanders are going to look to RB Antonio Gibson (a converted WR from college) more as their receiving back with RB Brian Robinson still the hammer on the ground between the tackles.

  Commanders | J.D. McKissic absent Thursday    Thu Nov 17, 12:14 PM

Washington Commanders RB J.D. McKissic (neck) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 17.

Footballguys view: It looks like McKissic could be in line to miss his third straight game. That means the Commanders will continue to use RBs Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson in their backfield. It's Gibson who is the better receiver and will get more work once again without McKissic.

Washington Commanders RB J.D. McKissic (neck) did not practice once again on Saturday, Nov. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 10.

Footballguys view: Without McKissic on the field, the Commanders could use RB Antonio Gibson more as their receiver out of the backfield. Brian Robinson is the lead back and should get the most carries on Monday against the Eagles.

  Commanders | Week 9 injury report for Washington    Fri Nov 4, 02:59 PM

Washington Commanders WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring), LB Cole Holcomb (foot), LB David Mayo (hamstring) and RB J.D. McKissic (neck) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. DE Shaka Toney (calf) was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday, Nov. 4, and is listed as questionable. TE Logan Thomas (calf), TE Cole Turner (concussion), DT Jonathan Allen (knee) and C Tyler Larsen (back) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Footballguys view: McKissic is no sure thing to play again this year. He's visiting a specialist and neck injuries are always tricky. Antonio Gibson gets a small bump in the passing game with McKissic sitting.

  Commanders | WAS to deploy RB by committee    Wed May 25, 01:29 PM

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera says the team plans on deploying a running back by committee in 2022. 'Well, I think for the most part, it's going to be by committee. Some of the things that we did in Carolina we're trying to emulate, you know, we had a good two-back system,' Rivera said. 'So just feel that, you know, it's one of those things that you're going to go with, who's hot, who's rolling, you know, who's doing the good things.'

Footballguys view: For those who have been playing fantasy football long enough, this is just like Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams under Rivera with the Panthers years ago. Oh yeah, JD McKissic is there to work as a change-of-pace back as well - so this is a three-headed RBBC. Commanders RB Antonio Gibson is expected to see high volume, but his usage could vary on a weekly basis. Behind him, McKissic gets third down work and rookie RB Brian Robinson could soften up defenses between the tackles.

  Commanders | Washington officially inks J.D. McKissic    Thu Mar 17, 05:05 PM

Free-agent RB J.D. McKissic (Commanders) signed a two-year contract worth a reported $7 million with the Washington Commanders on Thursday, March 17.

Footballguys view: McKissic had agreed to join the Bills, then he decided to stay in Washington. This is a blow to the fantasy value of RB Antonio Gibson as McKissic will be a receiving back and take away those third-down touches. Gibson is a RB2 for Fantasy GMs while McKissic is a flex play in PPR formats.

  Bills | J.D. McKissic headed to Bills    Tue Mar 15, 12:46 PM

Free-agent RB J.D. McKissic (Commanders) agreed to a two-year, $7 million deal with the Buffalo Bills Tuesday, March 15.

Footballguys view: McKissic goes to the Bills to give them another big play weapon out of the backfield. His signing means Devin Singletary is going to get fewer looks as a receiving back. The Bills have a high-scoring offense, but they don't throw to their backs that much. Singletary's 40-50 targets should be shrunk this upcoming season with McKissic getting snaps.

  Commanders | Washington wants J.D. McKissic back    Fri Feb 18, 05:44 PM

Washington Commanders impending free-agent RB J.D. McKissic is a player the Commanders want to re-sign this offseason.

Footballguys view: The move would make sense for the Commanders. McKissic can do everything as a three-down back, and he'd continue to give the Commanders excellent depth at the position if he stays. Antonio Gibson is their lead back, and one of the most well-rounded backs in football, but McKissic can provide a valuable change-of-pace.

If not, McKissic will be good to go against the Cowboys on Sunday. Fantasy GMs can look at him as a 'what the heck' flex if he's out there.
