Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off a strong showing in the divisional round and carries RB2 upside facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game. Last weekend, facing a tough Detroit rushing defense, Robinson ran for 77 yards and two scores on 15 attempts. This was a nice showing for Robinson, as he averaged an underwhelming 35.0 rushing yards per game over his previous five contests. However, during his first 10 games of the season, the Alabama product found the back of the end zone eight times and averaged a strong 64 rushing yards per game. Despite another tough matchup, as the Eagles have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs, Robinson carries high-floor RB2 value this weekend.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is a touchdown-dependent flex option in the divisional round when he faces the Detroit Lions. Robinson had a disappointing conclusion to the season, and those struggles lingered during their wild-card victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In this game, Robinson tallied just 16 yards on ten carries. Over the final three weeks of the regular season, Robinson tallied just 31.3 rushing yards per game and did not score a touchdown. However, during his first ten games of the season, Robinson scored eight touchdowns and averaged a solid 64 yards per game. Facing another tough rushing defense in Detroit, who has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs, makes him a touchdown-dependent flex option that is best to avoid in DFS in competitions.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied just 16 yards on ten attempts during their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Robinson was deployed as the top option in the backfield but could not get any rhythm going in the running game. He performed better as a receiver, bringing in four of his five targets for 22 yards. Later in the game, the Commanders opted to give Austin Ekeler starting opportunities, which could suggest that Robinson may have a smaller workload in next weekend's game against the Detroit Lions. During Weeks 16 through 18, the Alabama product also struggled, averaging an underwhelming 31.3 yards per game. DFS players should opt to fade Robinson next weekend, as he will face a Detroit defense that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points per game to opposing RBs.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. has struggled to generate much on the ground over the past month and has another tough matchup ahead of him on Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Over his past four games, Robinson has only tallied double-digit PPR points once and averaged a mere 39.8 rushing yards per game. During this span, he did not score a touchdown and saw just 2.3 targets per game. However, prior to this stretch, the Alabama product averaged a strong 13.4 PPR points per game and scored eight touchdowns in ten games. Given his lack of recent production and the return of Austin Ekeler, Robinson Jr. is a touchdown-dependent RB2 in DFS that does not carry much upside facing a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. ran the ball just five times for ten yards during their victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Robinson brought in his lone target for six yards. With Austin Ekeler back in action, Robinson saw his workload decrease. This matched his previous lowest rushing attempt total of the campaign. With the Commanders trailing throughout the game, Robinson was unable to find much rhythm in a negative game script. Entering this game, Robinson was carrying a three-game touchdown drought. During this stretch, he averaged just 49.7 rushing yards per game. During his first ten games of the season, he tallied eight touchdowns with 64.0 yards per game. Given his current struggles, fantasy managers should view Robinson as a low-end RB2 heading into the postseason.
Jan 5, 2025 4:21 PM EST
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be viewed as a mid-level RB2 facing the Dallas Cowboys. The Alabama product has found himself in a bit of a slump as of late. Over his past three contests, he has averaged just 8.9 PPR points per game and has not found the back of the end zone once over this stretch. In addition, he has averaged just 49.7 rushing yards per game. Before this stretch, Robinson tallied eight touchdowns over his first ten games of the season and ran for 64.0 yards per game. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Austin Ekeler's (concussion) status before kickoff, as he could be nearing a return. If Ekeler suits up, Robinson may even see less work than he has, making him a low-end RB2. However, if the Commanders opt to rest Ekeler a week before the playoffs, then Robinson maintains his mid-level RB2 range against a Dallas defense, allowing the ninth-most PPR points to opposing RBs.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied 60 yards on 13 attempts in their victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday evening. Robinson caught both of his targets for nine yards. While Robinson did see most of the rushing attempts he was unable to find the back of the end zone for the third straight contest. Instead, backup running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. was given the red zone work and was able to punch in a score in the fourth quarter. Over his past three contests, Robinson has only eclipsed 60 rushing yards on one occasion and has only tallied more than 100 yards once over his past six contests. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) nearing a return, fantasy managers could expect Robinson to lose some opportunities especially during the playoffs. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 heading into a Week 18 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is looking to bounce-back facing the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night after a disappointing Week 16 output. Last weekend against Philadelphia, Robinson ran for just 24 yards on ten attempts and lost two fumbles. Even though the Commanders were trailing for most of the contest, Robinson was not involved much at all. However, he should be in a good position to rebound in Week 17. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the injured reserve, Robinson should be deployed as a three-down back. During Weeks 11 through 15 (four games), Robinson found the end zone twice and averaged 74.0 total yards per game. He should be started in all formats as a solid RB2 facing the Falcons, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season.
Dec 27, 2024 6:05 PM EST
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.
Dec 22, 2024 4:48 PM EST
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.
Dec 15, 2024 4:26 PM EST
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.
Dec 13, 2024 5:27 PM EST
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.
Dec 1, 2024 4:57 PM EST
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.
