Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Brian Robinson Jr.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) struggled in Week 5, catching just one of his three targets for 16 yards. He will look to bounce back in a plus matchup against a Philadelphia Eagles secondary that is allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Jeudy has been listed with a knee injury for several weeks now, but he has been practicing fully and should be without any limitations heading into Week 6. The main concern here is a struggling Cleveland passing attack headlined by Deshaun Watson. Watson has yet to throw for more than 196 yards in a game this season and has thrown for multiple touchdowns just once. Jeudy is worth a look as a WR4/flex option this weekend but fantasy managers should temper their expectations until this Cleveland passing game shows improvement.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) will likely be a game-time decision on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Robinson battled a knee injury heading into last week's game but was able to suit up. This week, he did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a similar knee injury and was also not seen during Friday's practice, which is not a promising sign for his status. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report later on Friday, as the Alabama product will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend. The 25-year-old has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, scoring five touchdowns with 325 rushing yards. If Robinson can suit up, he should be locked into all lineups as an upside RB2. If he cannot play, Austin Ekeler should see the majority of opportunities out of the backfield and would become a must-start option.
