Scouting report

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cowboys

After seeing 29 targets from Week 9 to Week 10, J.D. McKissic settled down last week as he finished 3-26 as a receiver. He added 43 yards on six carries for a nice total of 69 scrimmage yards. While the target usage was obviously going to drop off, McKissic still stayed relevant with a solid game. One interesting note, however, is Peyton Barber saw eight carries in Week 11 despite previously averaging 2.9 carries (after Week 1). McKissic is more useful in a pass-heavy game flow, but he remains relevant even when he's not seeing 10+ targets in a game. He'll be a viable flex play this week in a favorable matchup against the Cowboys. However, it is worth noting the Cowboys have allowed the second-fewest receptions and the fewest receiving yards to running backs this season. That was evident in McKissic's first game against the Cowboys this season (Week 7) when he finished with just two receptions for 16 yards.

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

J.D. McKissic has seen 29 targets in his last two games (14 in Week 9, 15 in Week 10), which is ridiculous. He has more targets this season (62) than guys like Julio Jones, Jarvis Landry and Justin Jefferson. He's combined for 16 receptions for 108 yards as a receiver in those two games, while getting limited work as a runner (11 carries, 23 yards). He did score his first touchdown of the season last week, but that won't be common. McKissic is mostly a flex option in PPR formats due to his high volume of targets. However, this week he faces a Bengals defense that has allowed the third-fewest receptions, and fourth-fewest receiving yards to running backs this season.

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Detroit Lions

J.D. McKissic saw a shocking 14 targets last week, finishing 9-65 as a receiver (he added three carries for 17 yards on the ground). McKissic has now had 6+ receptions in four of his last five games, making him a legitimate PPR option. His yards aren't always there, so his value in standard leagues is low, especially considering he has no touchdowns on the year. But if his role as a receiver continues, McKissic is a solid flex option on weeks where you need a streamer. He gets a great matchup this week against the Lions who have allowed the most fantasy points to running backs so far this season.

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New York Giants

J.D. McKissic has emerged as a sneaky flex play option in PPR formats. Antonio Gibson is the better play overall, but McKissic is averaging 5.3-36.3 as a receiver over his past four games. This week he faces a Giants defense had success against just a few weeks ago with a season-high 84 scrimmage yards. We're not expecting that production again, but McKissic isn't a terrible flex play for Week 9 if you're in a PPR league.

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Dallas Cowboys

J.D. McKissic out-snapped (39-27), out-touched (14-13) and out-produced (84-55) Antonio Gibson last week. While logic would tell you the converted wide receiver (Gibson) would have a big role in the passing game, it's been McKissic who has dominated receptions in this backfield. McKissic has six or more receptions in three straight games, averaging 7.3 targets in that span. While we still like Gibson more, McKissic has proven to have some value as a flex play in PPR formats. However, he does face a Cowboys defense that's allowed the third-fewest receptions and fewest receiving yards to running backs this season.

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New York Giants

J.D. McKissic saw a team-high eight targets last week, finishing 6-46 as a receiver. This is now back-to-back weeks where McKissic has seen eight targets, making him relevant in in full PPR leagues. Still, McKissic isn't terribly productive with no scores on the season, and a limited role as a rusher (three carries his last two games combined). He's a low-end flex play in PPR formats for Week 6 against the Giants.

WAS RB J.D. McKissic - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Los Angeles Rams

J.D. McKissic has led Washington's backfield in playing time in three of the four games this season, but he hasn't been overly productive. He was involved as a receiver last week, seeing a season-high eight targets. He finished 7-40 as a pass-catcher while seeing just two carries for six yards as a runner. While his seven receptions were nice from a PPR perspective, it was a standalone performance this season. In the first three games combined, McKissic had four total receptions. He doesn't produce enough to warrant serious fantasy consideration.
