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.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler has been quiet as the primary backup this season. In fact, Chandler has rushed for 30 yards or less in every game but one this season. Chandler only saw two carries during last week's loss to the Detroit Lions. However, Chandler could see a bigger role in Week 8 with lead back Aaron Jones (hamstring) on the injury report. It's a short week as the Vikings play the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. The absence of Jones would mean Chandler likely becomes the lead back with Cam Akers being his primary backup. Chandler saw 14 carries in Week 5 and only managed 30 yards on the ground. Fantasy managers in desperate need of running back help should stash Chandler, but he's not worth even considering starting unless Jones sits out.
