Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied only 24 yards on 10 attempts during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught two of his three targets for 17 yards. While Robinson dominated the work in the backfield, he was not given as many attempts as he usually sees with the Commanders trailing throughout the afternoon. This caused quarterback Jayden Daniels to attempt a hefty 39 passing attempts. His 24 rushing yards was his lowest total in a single game this season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Robinson heading into Week 17, as the No. 2 option behind him, Jeremy McNichols, logged only two rushing attempts. The Alabama product will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Falcons, who have allowed the 10th-fewest PPR points to the position this season.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be set for another workhorse opportunity to share this weekend, facing the Philadelphia Eagles with Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the injured reserve. Last weekend, Robinson had a modest showing, tallying only 65 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards against the Saints. However, during Week 14, Robinson tallied 103 yards and a score. Even though he will face a tough Philadelphia rushing defense that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to the position this season, fantasy managers should feel confident viewing him as a solid RB2, given his projected opportunity share. The Alabama product has shown a nose for the end zone all season, tallying eight scores across 11 contests. The last time he faced the Eagles, Robinson tallied 63 yards and a score on the ground.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. ran for 65 yards on 21 attempts during their narrow victory over the New Orleans Saints. Robinson added 22 yards on three receptions through the air. His longest carry of the day went for 20 yards. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, Robinson saw the vast majority of attempts out of the backfield, especially since it was a close contest. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. combined for just three total rushing attempts all afternoon, while Jayden Daniels logged the second-most attempts (11). Robinson's three targets were also the highest he has seen since Week 4, which suggests that while Ekeler remains out, Robinson could evolve into a true three-down running back. The Alabama product has another tough matchup ahead of him next weekend, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. carries RB1 upside in Week 15 when he faces the New Orleans Saints. In Week 13, Robinson tallied 103 yards and a score on 16 attempts against the Tennessee Titans. Robinson was dealing with a lingering ankle injury leading up to that game, but coming out of his Week 14 bye should put the Alabama product in a great position to succeed this weekend. Overall, the 25-year-old has tallied eight touchdowns in eight games and averaged 75.0 total yards per game. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the IR, fantasy managers should continue to expect Robinson to lead the backfield. Facing the Saints, who have allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season, makes Robinson a top-12 option on Sunday.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied 103 yards and a score off 16 carries during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He was not targeted in the passing game. Robinson wasted little time as he posted an impressive 40-yard TD run on their opening possession. The Commanders would have a sizeable lead throughout, which allowed Robinson to see a slight decrease in workload by the second half. However, with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, the Alabama product would dominate touches while the game was close. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing Robinson as a solid RB2 with scoring upside heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Saints, as the Commanders are off next weekend.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) does not carry an injury designation and will be good to go to face the Titans on Sunday. In addition, No. 2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) was ruled out, which should open the door for even more opportunities for Robinson. Robinson suffered an ankle injury last week during their loss to Dallas and could only see five carries for 13 yards. However, through his previous eight games this season, the Alabama product found the end zone seven times and averaged a solid 14.1 PPR points per game. Despite facing a tough Tennessee rushing defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, fantasy managers should view Robinson as a high-end RB2 as he should see a workhorse role.
Nov 29, 2024 6:35 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation for this Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to John Keim of ESPN. Robinson sustained this ankle injury last weekend during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Alabama product was only able to log five carries before exiting early. Even though Robinson missed time earlier this season, fantasy managers should feel confident locking him in as a solid RB2 as he has found the end zone seven times through eight games. In addition, No. 2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) will not suit up, which will open up even more opportunities for Robinson, which could make him a low-end RB1 despite facing a tough Tennessee rushing defense.
Nov 29, 2024 4:22 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) was limited for a second consecutive practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old hasn't really been 100 percent healthy since Week 4, restricting his fantasy value week after week. He's the overall RB29 in fantasy football so far, tallying 537 rushing yards, 99 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. This week, if he plays, Robinson would face a challenging Tennessee Titans run defense. A challenging matchup could drop him to the RB3 tier in fantasy football, but the potential absence of Austin Ekeler (concussion) could also allow Robinson to earn some extra opportunities on the ground and through the air. Fantasy managers should check back Friday to see if Robinson will carry an injury designation into the weekend.
Nov 28, 2024 4:20 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) will practice on Wednesday despite suffering an ankle injury in the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. It's good news, and signs were pointing in this direction when the Commanders didn't sign either James Robinson or Boston Scott after working them out on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Austin Ekeler didn't practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion late in Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old Robinson is still in wait-and-see mode for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, but he looks more likely to suit up in Week 13 than Ekeler does right now. If B-Rob plays and Ekeler doesn't, he'll have clear RB2 upside for fantasy managers. Jeremy McNichols figures to be in line for an expanded role this weekend if one or both of Robinson and/or Ekeler don't play.
Nov 27, 2024 12:48 PM EST
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) is getting treatment for the ankle injury that forced him out of the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The team will know more on his status for the Week 13 game against the Tennessee Titans later in the week. The good news is that the 25-year-old re-entered the game on Sunday after initially leaving, but he left again in the second half and never returned. With Austin Ekeler being in the concussion protocol this week, there's a possibility the Commanders have to turn to a committee approach with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. this Sunday against the Titans. McNichols should be a popular waiver-wire pickup this week for fantasy managers hurting at the RB position.
Nov 25, 2024 7:29 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) sustained an ankle injury during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys and only logged five carries for 13 yards. He caught one of his two targets for 11 yards as well. Robinson sustained his first ankle injury in the opening quarter but was able to return shortly after. However, later in the second half, Robinson suffered another injury to his ankle and was unable to return. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing next weekend's game. In addition, No.2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) sustained an injury in the final minutes. If both running backs were to sit out in Week 13, Jeremy McNichols should be expected to operate as the lead back.
Nov 24, 2024 5:21 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys and is officially questionable to return. This is the second time he has exited the game, as well as the second time he has been listed as questionable. Robinson did return after exiting the first time, but it remains to be seen whether this apparent re-aggravation of the injury forces him out for the rest of the contest. At the time of his departure, Robinson had 13 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards. Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols will lead Washington's backfield for the duration of Robinson's absence.
Nov 24, 2024 3:10 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers were anxious when he injured his ankle very early in the contest. However, there was a collective sigh of relief when he was observed walking back to the locker room. But Robinson is back, meaning Austin Ekeler likely won't be as busy.
Nov 24, 2024 1:39 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC East meeting with the Cowboys. He had only one carry for negative yardage, which is what he will finish with if he can't get back on the field in Week 12. Considering Robinson has been banged up a few times this season, the team may opt to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. If that turns out to be the case, Austin Ekeler would be in line for more work.
Nov 24, 2024 1:29 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. returned to action last Thursday and found the end zone for the seventh time this season and should be in a great position to stay hot facing the Dallas Cowboys. Throughout the season, Robinson has failed to score double-digit PPR points in just one game and is averaging a solid 65.5 rushing yards per game. In addition, he has continued to be deployed as the de facto red zone option out of the backfield, which has set him up for great scoring opportunities. Facing the Cowboys, who have allowed the 30th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season, suggests Robinson could be in store for another solid showing on Sunday afternoon, making him an RB2 with upside.
Nov 22, 2024 5:33 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 16 times for 63 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's Week 11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also converted his lone target into a nine-yard reception. Robinson had missed Washington's last two contests due to injury but picked up right where he left off Thursday, scoring his sixth touchdown over the last six games. The 25-year-old ranks as a mid-to-low fantasy RB2 heading into next week's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Nov 15, 2024 12:36 AM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation and is expected to return to the field on Thursday evening to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Robinson has missed the past two weeks with a hamstring injury and ceded No.1 duties to Austin Ekeler. Before his injury, Robinson enjoyed a solid start to the campaign as he tallied six touchdowns in seven contests, averaging 14.1 PPR points per game. Robinson has consistently seen the goal line work all season, putting him high-scoring chances weekly. Even though he is facing a tough Eagles defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, Robinson should see a heavy workload and prime scoring opportunities.
Nov 13, 2024 9:59 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is off the injury report and is good to go for Thursday's divisional tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Robinson has been sidelined for the past two games with a hamstring injury. In his absence, Austin Ekeler has been deployed as the top running back with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. operated as depth options. However, fantasy managers should expect Robinson to reclaim his lead role on Thursday evening and for Ekeler to revert back to his third-down role. The 25-year-old Alabama product has averaged a solid 14.1 PPR points per game this season and found the end zone six times in seven games. He should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Eagles who have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs.
Nov 13, 2024 3:58 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was listed as limited on the Commanders' injury report on Tuesday. Robinson has not played since Week 8 because of the injury. He was close to returning in Week 11 so his activity on Tuesday suggests that he may be on track to return this week. Additionally, Robinson was limited on Monday's practice report as well. As long as Robinson keeps up this trend then he seems to have a good shot to play in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers will rejoice to have Robinson back in lineups. In seven games played in 2024, Robinson has racked up six touchdowns and 461 rushing yards. The Commanders' offense has been one of the best in the league thanks to rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. As such, Robinson's scoring opportunities have been constant. The Eagles defense presents a tough challenge for Robinson and he may be worked back into the lineup slowly. Should he suit up, he will likely be a low-end RB2 in Week 11.
Nov 12, 2024 6:28 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was listed as limited during the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. The team didn't actually practice, so Robinson's status is an estimation. Robinson missed his second straight game in the Week 10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and could be in danger of missing a third straight contest if the team doesn't clear him to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. However, if the 25-year-old is able to get back to a full practice in the next two days, he could have a shot to return to Washington's backfield. However, if B-Rob is active on a short week, he could see a smaller workload as he works his way back into the fold. With Robinson out again this past Sunday, Austin Ekeler led the backfield yet again and found his way into the end zone two more times.
