J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: It has been a tough year for running backs, and the continuous flow of injuries has only piled on to the already up-hill climb. Despite the uncertain start to his season, and the lack of voluminous work out of the running game, J.D. McKissic has emerged as a dependable pass-catching option out of the Washington backfield.

After an eight-carry, 53-yard showing in Week Two against the Cardinals, McKissic has received only eight additional hand-offs for 24 rushing yards, without a single rushing touchdown to his name. Despite this disappearance from the Washington ground attack, McKissic has transitioned into a key target in the Washington passing game since Week Three against Cleveland, when he caught three passes out of four targets for 37 yards. In the two contests since then against the Ravens and Rams, McKissic saw a combined 16 targets, converting on 13 of those balls for 86 yards receiving.

McKissic's emergent role as Washington's pass-catching back has led to more time on the field as well, as evidenced by the fact that he participated in 44% of offensive snaps for each of the first two games, but has been a part of over 50% of his team's snaps on offense since his epiphany contest against the Browns. Shockingly, despite McKissic's drastically reduced role as a ball carrier, he remains Washington's second-leading rusher with 75 yards behind Antonio Gibson's 213, as Dwayne Haskins remained largely silent as a runner and Peyton Barber has been almost completely reeled in after averaging just 1.7 yards per attempt on the ground.

With his newly established role in the receiving game ramping up and the availability of start-worthy running backs running thin, J.D. McKissic is a fantastically reliable asset to deploy in the coming weeks.
