Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or De'Von Achane

Monday, November 10, 3:12 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. saw a limited workload in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, but was highly efficient in the loss. On the field for only 14 offensive snaps, Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Over the past two weeks, he has turned 13 carries into 94 yards and two scores. While not seeing nearly enough usage to be a reliable fantasy asset, Robinson remains one of the most important insurance backs in the league. Should Christian McCaffrey miss time or cede any work down the stretch, Robinson has proven more than capable in Kyle Shanahan's running back-friendly offense. Robinson should be rostered in all leagues for the league-winning upside he represents, but he's also proven that he has just enough standalone value to be plugged into the flex in a pinch.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane had 22 carries for 174 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also caught all six of his targets for an additional 51 receiving yards. The 24-year-old turned in his best fantasy outing since his rookie season, cementing his position as the overall RB3 in fantasy football so far this year. Achane took advantage of a positive game script and a favorable matchup on Sunday, but he has previously shown that he is capable of producing regardless of opponent. Managers should continue to start him as a high-end RB1 in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders.
