Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Jahmyr Gibbs

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. didn't handle any carries in the team's Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, but he did pull in three catches on three targets for eight yards. Robinson has provided very little in terms of fantasy production in 2025, with 108 rushing yards on 27 attempts thus far. San Francisco's heavy reliance on Christian McCaffrey has given Robinson scant opportunities, even as the supposed change of pace back. In Week 6, Robinson saw a season-low five snaps. While he offers no value in the immediate future, Robinson remains a high-end handcuff worth stashing. Should McCaffrey succumb to the injury bug plaguing the 49ers, Robinson would be thrust into a starting role and become an immediate contributor for fantasy football teams.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs posted his least efficient game of the season in his team's 30-17 Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Gibbs recorded just 65 rushing yards on 17 carries and zero receiving yards on one catch. He also failed to find the end zone for just the second time in six games so far this season. On the bright side, Gibbs has now recorded at least 15 touches in five out of six games in 2025 after failing to do that in six out of 17 games in 2024. The 23-year-old remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
