Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Khalil Herbert

Sunday, October 1, 6:40 PM

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 14 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions for six yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. During an outing where he was mostly bottled up, the second-year back salvaged his day with a 15-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. His performance could've been even better if he hadn't fumbled at the goal line prior to what likely would've been a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Robinson will aim to have a better day against the Chicago Bears in Week 5, a team that has been below average against the run this season.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert made easy work of the Denver Broncos defense in Week 4. Before the game, the expectation was that Roschon Johnson was going to see a majority of the carries. However, that wasn't the case during Sunday's contest. Herbert rushed 18 times for 103 yards, while hauling in four receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown in the loss. This was an odd outburst in usage for Herbert who saw only 14 carries combined during the past two games. It remains to be seen what kind of role he'll have in the Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Herbert will be a low-end flex option for that contest.
