Jeremy McNichols
RB
Washington CommandersIR
- Teammate Terry McLaurin (a top target) is on IR, so McNichols may see more targets.
- Backfield mate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is on IR, so McNichols could see more carries.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Colts in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against Colts in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Jeremy McNichols should do vs the ColtsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Colts, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Jeremy McNichols has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Colts opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Jeremy McNichols will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Colts avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Jeremy McNichols's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jeremy McNichols usually produces.
Projected is Jeremy McNichols's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Colts were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

| Difference | +1.3 | +5.0 | +0.0 | +1.2 | +1.2 | +11.5 | +0.0 | +2.8 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what McNichols averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
