2023 Fantasy Outlook
McKissic nearly left for Buffalo last offseason before deciding to stick with the Commanders, but the receiving back saw his role scaled back in 2022 to facilitate more work for Antonio Gibson on passing downs while Brian Robinson took on more carries. McKissic subsequently suffered a neck injury Week 8 and landed on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Prior to that, the 29-year-old carried 22 times for 95 yards and caught 27 of 40 targets for 173 yards in eight games. Read Past Outlooks
Cut loose by Washington
The Commanders released McKissic (neck) with a failed physical designation Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The pass-catching back nearly left for Buffalo last offseason before deciding to stick with the Commanders instead. He then saw his role scaled back to facilitate more work for Antonio Gibson on passing downs while Brian Robinson took on more carries, with McKissic later suffering a neck injury Week 8 and landing on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Once he gets healthy, the 29-year-old likely will have to settle for a smaller contract this time around and may even need to battle for a roster spot wherever he ends up signing.

McKissic was a hot commodity this offseason, as he got wooed heavily by the Bills before
eventually re-signing with the Commanders on a two-year deal. It isn't too hard to see why he
was in high demand, as the Arkansas State product has become one of the NFL's busiest
receiving backs since going undrafted in 2016. Last year, McKissic didn't match the volume he
saw in 2020, partially due to missing the last six games with a concussion, but his 7.5 YPT
ranked fifth among RBs with at least 40 targets. After two years of QB turmoil in Washington,
McKissic could benefit from a little stability under center following the addition of Carson Wentz,
though the former Eagle/Colt wasn't able to get the most out of Nyheim Hines last season in
Indianapolis. Antonio Gibson still has the top spot in the Washington backfield, while McKissic
appears unchallenged for his passing-down role.
