Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury noted via the team's transcript last week that running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s focus this offseason has been "great." "Yeah, he's been really focused," said Kingsbury. "B-Rob's a guy who has played an incredibly high level....He knows what this year means to him and can mean to us when he plays at that level." The Commanders invested in their offense heavily this offseason -- fortifying their offensive front and the weapons around budding superstar Jayden Daniels. However, the running back room went essentially unchanged aside from the addition of seventh-round teammate Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Backfield mate Austin Ekeler will siphon away some touches, but the Alabama product should receive strong volume this season. It will be interesting to see how the team deploys Deebo Samuel Sr., but if he doesn't absorb too many carries, Robinson Jr. should provide decent value.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is listed atop the team's unofficial depth chart at the position. Veteran Devin Singletary is named as New York's RB2, with rookie Cam Skattebo the RB3. As a rookie in 2024, Tracy Jr. played in 17 games (12 starts), recording 1,123 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 230 total touches. The Giants used a fourth-round pick on Skattebo in the 2025 draft, leading to speculation about Tracy Jr.'s hold on the starting role. However, Tracy Jr. has reportedly been the clear leader in training camp, particularly with Skattebo (hamstring) battling a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old Tracy Jr. profiles as a high-end RB3 for PPR-scoring fantasy formats.
