NFL RB Touch Projections — Week 10 TNF: Washington Commanders at New York Giants

In fantasy football, running back is arguably the most important position on the field. At the very least, good RBs are the hardest commodity to come by in most formats, and finding ones with any value in DFS is a chore.

With all that in mind, I’m here help.

Let’s break down some touch and target projections for each backfield in tonight’s Thursday Night Football tilt between the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants.

RB Touch Projections for Commanders vs. Giants

Washington Commanders

– Proj Car / Proj Tgt — Projected rushing attempts and receiving targets. Game script adjusts the split: favored teams get up to 12% more carries, underdogs get up to 15% more targets.

– Projections — Built from blended per-game rates (10% 2025 / 90% 2026), adjusted for matchup, game spread, DK team totals, and depth chart role. Out/IR players excluded with touches redistributed. Q/D volume reductions apply Fri-Sun only (after official designations).

If we can glean anything from Week 9’s loss to the Rams, it’s that this backfield is becoming more and more of a straight split each week. In what was a very neutral script, Rachaad White logged 35 snaps to Austin Ekeler’s 28; though it was the latter that finished with more touches (10) than the former (9).

Don’t get me wrong. If there’s a 1A in this committee, it’s White, and he’s the most likely of this duo to garner any goal line carries. However, Ekeler’s seen his snap share expand from 10.4% in Week 6, to 33.3% in Week 8, to 45.2% in Week 9. White’s role is far from “bell cow” status, and that’s a tough way to live on a team that isn’t exactly lighting the scoreboard up each and every week.

There’s also the matter of Jayden Daniels, who happens to technically be leading the Commanders in rushing yards this season (252). Daniels ran for 103 yards and two scores the last time these two teams met in Week 5. If the QB puts up even half those totals on Thursday, it might not leave much for White or Ekeler.

I think the Giants will be very happy to have Cam Skattebo back in action tonight. While Devin Singletary is a very useful asset, he showed his limitations in Sunday’s win over the Eagles, turning 21 rushing attempts into only 31 yards. That’s not exactly the most efficient RB performance I’ve ever seen.

Skattebo’s 45.9% rushing success rate is in the lower-third of the league, but in comparison to Singletary’s ghastly 25.6% figure, the second-year back might as well be Larry Csonka. As such, I think it’s safe to project Skattebo will finish with 17-20 carries on Thursday Night Football, which is the range he’s landed in for four of the six games where he’s actually touched the football this season. A snap share around 60% also makes a lot of sense, unless he feels any ill effects from his recent hamstring injury.
