Brian Robinson a Volatile RB3/Flex with Low Floor in Week 6

Saturday, October 17, 8:11 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson came back down to Earth last week after a 62-yard, three-touchdown performance the week before, rushing just seven times for 16 scoreless yards. It looks like the 6-foot-1 back will see his involvement drop in games that are closely contested, which was also the case in Week 1 when he carried the ball nine times for 31 yards and no touchdowns, while averaging around 12 carries for 54 yards with four total TDs in the other three games in which the scoring margin was large. Week 6 brings a home matchup against the Bears which, with a 1.5-point spread, could be competitive throughout; however, with one of the highest expected point totals this week (52.5), there should be plenty of offense. View the 27-year-old as a boom/bust RB3/Flex this week, with the fifth-year pro ranked as the No. 32 RB overall at RotoBaller in Week 6.

Trey Benson Faces Extremely Difficult Path to Production Upon Return

Saturday, October 10, 11:48 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is already set to miss the entire 2026 season, and he will likely have trouble carving out a meaningful role when he returns to action next year. This Cardinals team features a very impressive one-two punch of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeir, and there's no real opportunity for a third running back to carve out fantasy value as long as those two backs are healthy. At this point, fantasy managers might be rooting for the Cardinals to release Benson from IR with an injury settlement. He has already missed a full year with a meniscus injury, so he's presumably somewhat close to being healthy. If a new opportunity presents itself with a different team, Benson could have some fantasy relevance, depending on the landing spot. However, as long as he's a Cardinal and playing behind Love and Allgeier, he has no dynasty value. Managers should feel okay about dropping Benson at this point.
