Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a disappointing showing against the Chicago Bears in Week 8. This was his lowest fantasy output of the season, as he totaled just 65 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards off one reception. This was the first time this season that the Alabama product failed to score double-digit PPR points. Despite the struggles this afternoon, fantasy managers should continue to view the 25-year-old as a high-end RB2 playing on a potent Washington offense. Next weekend, he will face the New York Giants, who have allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller ended up as the team's leading rusher in Week 7, taking six carries for 36 yards. Featured back Alvin Kamara (hand, ribs) is nursing injuries that may finally be impacting his productivity (2.5 YPC in the last three weeks) which might open the door for Miller to see more snaps. Unfortunately, any extra opportunities he may see in Week 8 will come against the Los Angeles Chargers, who are operating one of the best defenses in the league. The Chargers have given up the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs and the sixth-fewest total rushing yards. The anticipated return of Taysom Hill (ribs) would work against Miller as well. While there is no guarantee for immediate returns, Miller does make for a decent stash option given Kamara's health and Jamaal Williams' ineffectiveness as a backup.
