Best Jacory Croskey-Merritt Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jacory Croskey-Merritt U 44.5 Rushing Yards (-111)
Croskey-Merritt has only rushed for 33 and 25 yards in his last two games, and the rookie’s struggles should continue in this terrible matchup vs. the Seahawks. Seattle is well-rested following its bye week and the Seahawks are the best rush defense in the league, as they are giving up the fewest yards per rush this season (3.3). Additionally, Seattle is allowing the fewest YAC on rushes (329) and the fewest rushes of 10+ yards (eight).
Not only is this matchup very ugly for Croskey-Merritt, but he is likely to see low volume with the Commanders being a three-point underdog. In losses this season, Croskey-Merritt is only averaging 10 carries for 36.6 rushing yards per game with a 45.8% snap rate (five games).
As you can see, Croskey-Merritt struggles mightily to produce as a rusher in negative gamescripts and him falling short of 44.5 rushing yards Sunday night is likely.
