Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Chase Brown

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has turned the corner recently, posting consecutive RB2 finishes in the 49ers' last two games. Robinson's utilization in Week 10 and Week 11 was in line with past games, but with better results. Against the Giants and then the Rams, Robinson had his two highest rushing totals and scored a touchdown in each game. This trend has a good chance to continue in Week 11, when the 49ers face the Cardinals. Robinson saw just five snaps in the teams' last meeting in Week 3, but Arizona is coming off a game against Seattle where they allowed 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to the Seahawks' backfield. Limited on touches, only another trip to the end zone would make starting Robinson in fantasy lineups worthwhile. He projects as an RB4 in Week 11.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't played as well as expected. He began the 2025 campaign by finding the end zone in Week 1 against the Browns. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old didn't score again until the narrow one-point loss to the New York Jets back in Week 8. It's safe to say he has a way to go before earning back the trust of fantasy managers, especially since he's struggled to get much going on the ground. However, Brown has at least made up for it by scoring two touchdowns against the Jets and totaling eight catches in the Week 9 meeting with the Chicago Bears. He's trending in the right direction and should see even more snaps with Samaje Perine (ankle) ruled out. As a result, Brown can continue to be viewed as a starting fantasy option in Week 11 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
