Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Kenneth Walker III

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be set for another workhorse opportunity to share this weekend, facing the Philadelphia Eagles with Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the injured reserve. Last weekend, Robinson had a modest showing, tallying only 65 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards against the Saints. However, during Week 14, Robinson tallied 103 yards and a score. Even though he will face a tough Philadelphia rushing defense that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to the position this season, fantasy managers should feel confident viewing him as a solid RB2, given his projected opportunity share. The Alabama product has shown a nose for the end zone all season, tallying eight scores across 11 contests. The last time he faced the Eagles, Robinson tallied 63 yards and a score on the ground.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) has been removed from the final Week 16 injury report on Friday and will be active for Sunday's contest at Lumen Field against the visiting Minnesota Vikings. Meanwhile, backfield mate Zach Charbonnet (oblique) was also cleared, so Seattle will have its top two RBs available this weekend. It's good news for the Seahawks, but bad news for fantasy managers that have one or both of Walker and Charbonnet rostered. Walker missed the last two weeks with his calf injury, which led to Charbonnet accumulating 188 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries while adding eight catches for 71 yards. For what it's worth, Seattle has since named Charbonnet a captain, meaning that Walker could see more of a reduced role in his return this weekend. Walker has been the clear lead runner when both backs have been healthy this year, but that could change against Minnesota.
