  • Totals 51 scrimmage yards

    McKissic carried five times for 35 yards and caught both his targets for an additional 16 yards during Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: McKissic was quite effective as a ball carrier, averaging 7.0 yards per carry, but he didn't make his usual impact as a pass catcher with his team playing from ahead throughout the game. He could have more passes thrown his way in Week 9 against the Giants following the WFT's Week 8 bye, but he seems unlikely to take over as the lead back anytime soon after Antonio Gibson erupted for 128 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in this one. As such, McKissic should be left on the bench in the…read more

  • Posts 84 total yards in loss

    McKissic rushed eight times for 41 yards and secured all six targets for 43 yards in the Washington Football Team's 20-19 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: McKissic continued to enjoy a steady role in the offense, outpacing backfield mate Antonio Gibson in total touches by one and posting at least six receptions for the third straight game. The eight carries tied a season high for McKissic, who appears to have a relatively modest but consistent role as a pass-catching option that can occasionally see larger-than-expected opportunity on the ground. McKissic will look to build on Sunday's season-best effort versus the Cowboys in Week 7.

  • Leads team in targets

    McKissic caught six passes for 48 yards on a team-high eight targets in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Rams, adding one carry for three yards.

    Analysis: Washington struggled to move the ball with Kyle Allen (arm) and then Alex Smith at quarterback, trailing by multiple scores for most of the game and never finding any success throwing downfield. The familiar game script -- it was the team's fourth straight loss by 14 or more points -- allowed McKissic to stay heavily involved, but it was still Antonio Gibson who dominated work on the ground with 11 carries for 27 yards. A Week 6 matchup with the Giants could produce a closer contest, which…read more

  • Targeted eight times

    McKissic recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 40 yards in Week 4 against the Ravens. He added two rushes for five yards.

    Analysis: McKissic ceded the majority of the work on the ground to Antonio Gibson but still remained heavily involved in the passing attack out of the backfield. Though he lost a fumble to end Washington's second offensive possession, the team continued to turn to him as a receiver as they fell behind Baltimore early in the contest. While primarily a dump-off option, McKissic did turn in receptions of 12 and 11 yards to pace his yardage total. Washington will likely be playing catch up again in Week 5…read more

  • Falls back in Week 3

    McKissic carried the ball five times for 15 yards in Week 3 against the Browns. He added three receptions for 37 yards.

    Analysis: McKissic saw his carries slashed from his Week 2 performance as he failed to get going on the ground against the Browns. However, he did manage to produce through the air, paced by a 26-yard reception that set up a rushing touchdown for Antonio Gibson in the third quarter. McKissic's production on the ground has varied widely through three weeks, and he had failed to contribute through the air prior to his Week 3 performance. That makes him a volatile producer for the team's Week 4 matchup…read more

  • Surprisingly effective on ground

    McKissic carried the ball eight times for 53 yards in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Remarkably, the fifth-year receiving back didn't even get a target in the game, but he carved out a large share of the backfield workload due to his efficiency on the ground. Meanwhile, Antonio Gibson led the backfield with 13 touches and Peyton Barber was held to only one carry. McKissic could see solid volume again in Week 3, although more of it might come through the air as Washington tries to keep pace with a Browns offense that just piled up 35 points against the Bengals.

  • Finishes with negative yardage

    McKissic played 44 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles, taking three carries for a loss of two yards and catching one of five targets for one yard.

    Analysis: McKissic actually led the Washington backfield in snap share, but his opportunities didn't result in any production, while Peyton Barber had a pair of goal-line touchdowns and Antonio Gibson picked up 44 yards on 11 touches. McKissic and Gibson both were on the field for the first snap of the game, and it was a pretty even three-way split throughout the afternoon. Look for more of the same Week 2 at Arizona, though it is possible McKissic could eventually have his role scaled back if he…read more

  • Won't necessarily start

    Coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday that McKissic "just happened to be put first" on Washington's unofficial depth chart, reiterating that the team will use a committee in the backfield, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: It was interesting to see McKissic listed in the top spot, but Rivera essentially confirms that it doesn't actually mean much. Depth charts typically are produced by PR departments, and in Washington's case, there was no obvious order for the running backs. Reports from beat writers suggest McKissic, Antonio Gibson and Peyton Barber will all have roles Sunday against the Eagles, while Bryce Love is a wild card to potentially make it a four-man committee instead of three. McKissic should see…read more

  • Listed atop depth chart

    Washington listed McKissic as its No. 1 running back on the unofficial depth chart the team released Tuesday, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

    Analysis: Though McKissic sits atop the depth chart, his presence there shouldn't be viewed as confirmation that he'll start or receive the majority of the snaps and touches out of the backfield in Sunday's season opener versus the Eagles. Instead, Stackpole speculates that Washington will make use of all four of its running backs in Week 1, with multiple backs occasionally sharing the field together. Third-round rookie Antonio Gibson likely has the most three-down potential of the four backs, as…read more

  • Moving up depth chart

    With Washington cutting Adrian Peterson on Friday, McKissic could be the No. 2 running back, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington has cut both Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson this offseason, and while Antonio Gibson is presumed to be the main beneficiary, he's a rookie with no preseason experience. On the other hand, McKissic has a proven, unique skillset, and last season he rushed 38 times for 205 yards (5.4 yards per carry) and caught 34 of 42 targets for 233 yards and a touchdown for the Lions. McKissic (5-10, 195) doesn't have the frame to be a three-down workhorse, but he projects as an intriguing…read more

  • Sees snaps in slot

    McKissic worked out of the slot Saturday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: The designation is at least worth mentioning, considering Washington's lack of credible depth at wide receiver. Of course, Finlay also mentioned McKissic's struggles at the position in the same tweet, so it's likely just an interesting footnote for a team still trying to figure out its optimal pass-catching rotation. Regardless of the positional designation, McKissic still figures to hold a roster spot as the team continues to develop multi-talented Antonio Gibson to eventually usurp the career…read more

  • Still ticketed for same role

    McKissic's projected role hasn't changed after the Washington Football team released Derrius Guice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A pure passing-down specialist, McKissic has 91 targets and 88 carries in 35 career NFL appearances, though he did manage 5.4 YPC on his 38 totes for Detroit last year. A $1 million guarantee on his two-year contract suggests the 27-year-old should have a spot on the regular-season roster, but his role has come into question ever since Washington used a third-round pick on runner/receiver hybrid Antonio Gibson. The rookie could steal passing downs from McKissic at some point this year.

  • Lands in Washington

    McKissic agreed Wednesday with the Redskins on a two-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McKissic played all 16 games with the Lions last season, finishing with 38 carries for 205 yards (5.4 yards per carry) and 34 receptions for 233 yards and a score. With Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson leading Washington's backfield, McKissic will likely work as a pass-catching option. He likely won't have consistent fantasy value unless Guice or Peterson are injured.

  • Becomes free agent

    McKissic became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after the Lions opted not to extend him a contract tender, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: McKissic played all 16 games for Detroit last season, taking 38 carries for 205 yards and catching 23 of 42 targets for 233 yards and a touchdown. He also saw work as a passing-down specialist with the Seahawks in 2017, but he'll probably need to battle for a roster spot at his next NFL stop.

  • Small role in season finale

    McKissic didn't have a rushing attempt and caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Detroit's ability to mount a two-touchdown lead at halftime meant the Lions spent most of the game trying to run out the clock. Had the score been reversed, it's possible McKissic's receiving chops could have played a bigger role in the offense. However, that wasn't the case, and McKissic ultimately saw just a handful of snaps while Kerryon Johnson and Bo Scarbrough once again led the way on the ground. After totaling 438 yards on 72 touches (6.1 yards per touch) in 2019, McKissic now will…read more

  • No touches against Broncos

    McKissic did not record a carry or reception during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: McKissic logged just seven offensive snaps with both Kerryon Johnson and Bo Scarbrough back in the fold. Considering Ty Johnson also worked ahead of him, McKissic seems slated to end the season without much a role in this weekend's finale against Green Bay.

  • Ready for Week 16

    McKissic (stinger) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: McKissic was forced out early in the Week 15 loss to the Buccaneers due to a stinger, but his absence from the injury report implies it's a non-issue heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos. With Bo Scarbrough (ribs) back at practice Wednesday in a limited capacity and Kerryon Johnson (knee) a candidate to return from injured reserve this week, McKissic could see his role marginalized in the final two games even though his health is seemingly intact.

  • Done for the day

    McKissic (stinger) is ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: McKissic logged one carry for two yards and caught two of three targets for seven yards before leaving the field. With Bo Scarbrough (ribs) inactive, Ty Johnson and Wes Hills will handle Detroit's backfield reps for the remainder of Week 15's contest.

  • Suffers stinger Sunday

    McKissic suffered a stinger during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: In the wake of Bo Scarbrough's (ribs) absence, McKissic and Ty Johnson were expected to handle the backfield reps for the Lions in Week 15. Upon his departure in the third quarter, though, McKissic had just one two-yard carry and two receptions (on three targets) for seven yards. He's questionable to return, but if he doesn't, Johnson and Wes Hills are the only available Detroit running backs on the game-day roster.

  • May see role increase sans Scarbrough

    McKissic and Ty Johnson are expected to headline the Lions' Week 15 backfield with Bo Scarbrough (ribs) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Scarbrough had operated as Detroit's lead option on the ground for the past four games, but his inactive status leaves McKissic, Johnson and practice squad callup Wes Hills as the lone healthy options at running back. Given Hills' lack of prior experience, McKissic and Johnson look like the best bets for touches out of the backfield, with coach Matt Patricia likely to ride the hot hand of the two. Considering McKissic has mostly served as a passing-down specialist during his NFL career, he…read more

  • Catches four passes

    McKissic rushed once for two yards while catching all four of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 20-7 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Yet again, McKissic finished third among Lions running backs in offensive snaps but still saw more touches than No. 2 runner Ty Johnson. However, Bo Scarbrough (ribs) hasn't slipped from his perch atop the depth chart, and nearly all indications suggest the Alabama product will be finishing the season as Detroit's workhorse. Unless Scarborough's injury is more significant than he's letting on, it seems McKissic will most likely finish the 2019 campaign in his usual change-of-pace role. It's…read more

  • Five touches on Thanksgiving Day

    McKissic rushed twice for nine yards and caught all three of his targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 24-20 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: With the game tied at 17 and the Lions knocking on the door to the end zone, McKissic got the ball on third-and-one from the four-yard line and was a shoestring tackle away from notching his first rushing touchdown in two years. It was certainly interesting that McKissic got the nod in that situation over the 235-pound Bo Scarbrough, and head coach Matt Patricia said after the game that McKissic stayed on the field because the clock was running and he didn't want to make a late substitution,…read more

  • Totals 20 yards in minor role

    McKissic rushed once for three yards and caught both of his passes for 17 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: After logging 58 offensive snaps Week 10, McKissic hasn't topped 15 in either of the past two weeks as the recently signed Bo Scarbrough (38 of 75 offensive snaps) and rookie Ty Johnson (27) are now leading the way. While the latter continued to be inefficient with his touches, Scarbrough racked up 98 yards on 18 carries and has easily looked like Detroit's best option out of the backfield since Kerryon Johnson (knee) went down. However, Scarbrough had also been teed up for a nice matchup with…read more

  • Contributes 53 scrimmage yards

    McKissic carried three times for 13 yards and caught three of four targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: McKissic seemed poised to take on a larger share of the carries in this one but the newly signed Bo Scarbrough led the team in that regard. McKissic did pace the backfield in targets, receptions and receiving yards, but he still didn't make an overly impressive impact in that area. McKissic seems limited to change-of-pace and pass-catching duties, regardless of the team's depth chart situation, and this should remain the case next Sunday against the Redskins.

  • Handles majority of snaps

    McKissic rushed 10 times for 36 yards and added six catches for 19 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: While McKissic underwhelmed from a yardage standpoint, his heavy involvement in the game plan was an encouraging sign and he ultimately logged 70 parent of the offensive snaps after Ty Johnson (concussion) left the game in the first quarter. The heavy playing time led to him being Detroit's busiest running back with 10 carries while Paul Perkins got seven and Ty Johnson got five, plus McKissic led the entire team in receptions. It's possible Johnson could make it back for Week 11 against…read more

  • Leads backfield in scrimmage yards

    McKissic carried four times for 32 yards while catching three of four targets for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Although McKissic didn't get many opportunities on the ground, he led the team in rushing yards while averaging eight yards per carry. He also made an impact as a pass catcher, leading the backfield in receiving yardage thanks in part to a 26-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter. McKissic certainly outperformed Ty Johnson in this one and could play a larger role in next Sunday's road matchup with the Bears.

  • Workload increase on tap?

    McKissic could see his workload expand after the team placed Tra Carson (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: McKissic and Ty Johnson were expected to handle the majority of the duties out of the backfield after Kerryon Johnson (knee) landed on injured reserve ahead of Week 8, only for the practice-squad call up, Carson, to outcarry the duo 12 to 8 in the win over the Giants. Paul Perkins, who was called up in a corresponding move, could also factor into the expected running back by committee, but of the trio, McKissic is very clearly the best receiving option out of the backfield, which should be a…read more
