Brian Robinson Officially Ruled Out for Week 8

Friday, October 30, 9:28 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 8 tilt on Sunday against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Robinson will miss a second straight game due to a hamstring injury after missing practice all week. In deeper leagues, Khalil Herbert could be in play as a flex option at the RB position as the change-of-pace option behind starter Bijan Robinson. Despite missing two straight games, the 27-year-old Robinson should remain rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues as a high-end handcuff to Bijan. The former third-rounder by the Washington Commanders in 2022 from Alabama has 56 carries through six games in his first year in Atlanta, recording 211 rushing yards (4.0 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns while adding five receptions for 30 yards in the passing game. His next chance to return to Atlanta's backfield will come in Week 9 on Sunday, Nov. 8, against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jaylen Wright News

Jaylen Wright Ready for Backup Role

Saturday, October 31, 2:44 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright left last week's game with a quadriceps injury and is also still dealing with a foot injury that cost him a game in Week 3. Wright has been available for each of the three weeks since then, but has been getting only minimal work behind Ollie Gordon II, who has seized the lead back role after the injury to De'Von Achane (knee). Wright matched his season-high with six carries last week against the Jets, but he only had eight rushing yards before departing with a quad injury. He was able to practice this week despite the injury and does not have an injury designation, but his minimal role and lack of effectiveness leave him as the RB56 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings.
