Who Should I Start? Joshua Dobbs or Brian Robinson Jr.

Monday, August 19, 12:51 AM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joshua Dobbs took the bulk of the offensive snaps for the team in a 16-10 preseason victory over the New Orleans Saints in Santa Clara on Sunday night. The 29-year-old entered the game for San Francisco's fourth possession following a struggling Brock Purdy offense. Dobbs would remain at the helm for three point-generating possessions before yielding to Brandon Allen at the half. Dobbs totaled 12 of 21 passes completed for 133 yards with no sacks or interceptions. He added three carries for 25 yards, including an impressive reverse-field scramble for a first down and a one-yard touchdown plunge. While preseason successes -- and failures -- should be taken with a grain of salt, San Francisco has to be happy to see a continuation of the skills Dobbs flashed in 2023 with Arizona and Minnesota. Dobbs is not fantasy-rosterable at this point but should draw some waiver-wire action if Purdy misses time.

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.
