Brian Robinson Jr. Won't Return In Week 13

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He had seven rushes for 53 yards prior to his departure. Although this is far from ideal for Washington, the good news is that he will have extra time to recover during their Week 14 bye. In the short term, Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez Jr. will lead the backfield.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Low-End RB2 In Week 13

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is a solid play with some risk associated with him in Week 13. This week, the Commanders will take on the Miami Dolphins, a team with a stellar offense. With Washington's mediocre defense considered, there's a decent chance that the Commanders fall behind early, similar to what happened in Week 12. If that occurs, Robinson's upside would be limited once again as he sees less volume when the offense is in catch-up mode. He has some downside, but with numerous teams on bye this week, Robinson is a name you can start as a low-end RB2 in Week 13.

Brian Robinson Jr. Totals 64 Scrimmage Yards In Week 12

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 15 times for 53 yards during Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught two of three targets for an additional 11 yards through the air. Given that Dallas has been dominant against running backs this season, fantasy managers shouldn't be too frustrated with Robinson's final line. With that said, he'll look for increased success in a potentially more favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins next week.

Brian Robinson Jr. An RB2 With Upside Against Dallas

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. could be in for another solid performance in Week 12. On Thanksgiving, the Commanders will take on the Dallas Cowboys. While the Cowboys are a challenging opponent, the second-year back might have another elite workload waiting for him. Fellow running back Antonio Gibson (toe) has been limited throughout the week and is considered a game-time decision. Without Gibson in the lineup, Robinson has been taking over the passing down role while holding onto his usual majority share of the rushing workload. With the possibility for more heavy volume, Robinson should be in starting consideration as a mid-level RB2 with upside in Week 12.

Brian Robinson Jr. Sees Heavy Usage In Week 11 Loss

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 17 carries for 73 yards while also hauling in seven-of-nine targets for 58 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. With fellow running back Antonio Gibson (toe) inactive for Week 11, Robinson saw some elite usage as 24 total touches were a season-high. The second-year back also led Washington in scrimmage yards with 131. If this game says anything, it's that the former Alabama back is the main guy out of this backfield when Gibson isn't available. If his teammate continues to miss time, Robinson should be a locked-in starter for most lineups when Washington faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Strong Play In Week 11

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. could have some further involvement against the New York Giants in Week 11. In Week 10, the second-year back saw increased usage in the receiving game while leading Washington in receiving yards. This week, fellow running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is listed as doubtful, which may open up even more looks out of the backfield for Robinson. Also, it should be recognized that the Giants have a putrid defense and allow the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. With New York being one of the worst defenses in football and Gibson listed as doubtful, Robinson is looking like a great play. Consider him a high-end RB2 in Week 11.

Brian Robinson Jr. Does Damage In Receiving Game Against Seattle

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had eight carries for 38 yards along with six receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After weeks of average production, Robinson exploded in Week 10. However, it wasn't with his usual heavy volume on the ground, but rather through the air. The second-year back ended up leading Washington in receptions and receiving yards while also scoring the team's first touchdown on a 51-yard catch and run early in the first quarter. With a matchup against the woeful New York Giants on the schedule in Week 11, Robinson will aim to keep his strong production going.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Solid Option Against Seattle

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is looking like a solid play in Week 10. Washington is taking on the Seattle Seahawks this week, a team that has struggled to defend the run. In terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, Seattle is allowing the eighth-most per game. With Robinson having the majority of backfield touches locked up, he could have a decent outing against this struggling defense. However, there's always a scenario where the Commanders fall behind early and heavily favor the passing game. That makes Robinson a bit of a risk, but with the solid matchup on paper, he should be considered a low-end RB2 in Week 10.

Brian Robinson Jr. Scores Touchdown During Win Over Patriots

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 18 carries for 63 yards, a touchdown, and a lost fumble along with one reception for four yards during Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. While he wasn't as efficient as he'd like to be, Robinson had command over this Washington backfield once again in Week 9. The second-year back's 18 carries were his most since Week 2, and he continued to have a nose for the end zone with his third touchdown in just four weeks. Robinson should continue to see solid volume when the Commanders take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10.

Brian Robinson Jr. An RB2 In Week 9

After looking like he may lose his job in Week 7, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. assumed most of the work out of the backfield in Week 8. Now in Week 9, with his role secure, he looks like a much more stable option. The Commanders are taking on the New England Patriots this week, a defense that ranks middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to running backs. If Washington can get out to a solid lead against this struggling Patriots team, then Robinson may be in line for a decent workload. Game script is always a factor with him, but he could put up a nice stat line if things go the right way. Consider Robinson a low-end RB2 in Week 9.

Brian Robinson Jr. Totals 79 Scoreless Yards Against Philadelphia

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 10 carries for 59 yards along with two receptions for 20 yards during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Leading into Week 8, there were some concerns that Robinson's role as lead back in this Washington offense was fading as rookie Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw some decent usage in Week 7. Those concerns ultimately led to nothing as the former Alabama back led the Commanders in carries while Rodriguez saw none. Unfortunately, Robinson was unable to find the end zone after scoring in Washington's two previous games, but his usage was a good sign. He'll aim to maintain his solid workload against the New England Patriots in Week 9.

Brian Robinson Jr. Could Disappoint In Week 8

Despite being the leader in the Washington Commanders backfield for most of the season, Brian Robinson Jr.'s role is in question heading into Week 8. While he's scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, his workload appears to be diminishing as the Commanders hand more touches off to rookie Chris Rodriguez Jr. Also, considering the Commanders are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles this week, the team may lean into the passing game just to keep up with their division rivals' high-scoring offense. With a questionable workload and an unfavorable game script on the way, Robinson is looking like a low-end flex play in Week 8.

Brian Robinson Jr. Finds End Zone In Second Straight Week

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had eight carries for 23 yards and a touchdown along with one target but no catches in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. For the second straight week, the second-year running back saved his performance with a touchdown, this one being Washington's only score of the day. Due to playing from behind the entire matchup, Robinson saw little usage while the Commanders leaned on the passing game. However, what's concerning is that rookie running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw seven carries as well. If this trend continues, Robinson's position as the unquestioned lead back for Washington may be in jeopardy. Be sure to monitor his role when the Commanders take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Candidate For Decent Volume In Week 7

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. could see a solid workload in Week 7. The Commanders are taking on the New York Giants, a team that has played from behind in nearly all their matchups this season. With that in mind, Washington could have a positive game script on their hands this week, which would bode well for Robinson's usage. As seen in past games, the Commanders heavily lean on their second-year running back when they're ahead. Considering Washington is favored heading into Sunday, there's a chance that Robinson gets the workload many have been wanting to see since the first couple weeks of the season. With many teams on bye in Week 7, consider him a high-end RB2.

Brian Robinson Jr. Scores Long Receiving Touchdown In Week 6

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 10 carries for 31 yards along with two receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. In what could've been a second-straight disappointing outing for Robinson, he salvaged his day with a long receiving touchdown. Early in the third quarter, the second-year running back caught a screen pass and followed strong blocking on his way to a 24-yard touchdown score, Washington's third end zone trip of the day. The touchdown was nice, but hopefully, Robinson won't have to rely on a touchdown for success against the New York Giants in Week 7.

Brian Robinson Jr. Should See More Work Against Atlanta

Coming off a disappointing performance in Week 5, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should have a better outing lined up in Week 6. Washington is taking on the Atlanta Falcons, a team that has been middle of the pack at stopping the run this season. While it's not an extremely favorable matchup for Robinson, the Commanders should be able to keep this game closer than last week's blowout loss to the Chicago Bears. When the game is close, the former Alabama back typically sees heavy usage, making him a decent play this week. Consider him a mid-level RB2 in Week 6.

Brian Robinson Jr. Phased Out Of Offense In Week 5 Loss

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had six carries for 10 yards along with four receptions for 33 yards in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite being a popular name heading into this matchup, Robinson had very little involvement against the Bears due to the Commanders falling behind by so much so early. The conundrum with Robinson is that the Washington offense will feature him heavily when they're ahead, but nearly forget about him when losing badly. The latter scenario reared its head in this matchup as six carries were a season-low for the second-year back. Hopefully, Robinson sees a more favorable game script against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Strong Option Against Chicago

After seeing a tough matchup in Week 4, Brian Robinson Jr. could have a big bounce-back performance in Week 5. The Commanders are taking on the Chicago Bears in a matchup where they're currently six-point favorites and expected to be playing in a positive game script. Not only that, but when Washington has led this season, they've heavily favored a game plan where Robinson sees plenty of work on the ground. With those factors in mind, it wouldn't be surprising to see the second-year back put up RB1-like numbers against Chicago. Consider him a locked-in starter this week.

Brian Robinson Jr. Scores Touchdown Late Against Eagles

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.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Risky Option Against Philadelphia

Despite his solid play as of late, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is looking like a risky play this week. The Commanders are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that is allowing the fewest rushing yards per game to opposing offenses this season. Not only is that an issue, but Washington is also an 8.5-point underdog, making the possibility for a negative game script a likely outcome. Based on the Eagles' defensive strengths, it looks like Robinson's best-case scenario is either falling into the end zone or seeing more usage in the passing game. Consider him a low-end RB2 in Week 4.

Brian Robinson Jr. Efficient On Lower Workload

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 10 carries for 70 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Even with such a demoralizing loss, Robinson managed to have a productive day for himself. The game quickly got away from the Commanders, so the run game was not leaned on as much as it was in their previous two games. However, with just 10 touches, the former Alabama back looked solid with multiple strong gains. Robinson will hopefully see more opportunities against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.

Brian Robinson Jr. Could Be A Top Option In Week 3

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been off and running to start the 2023 season. Through the first two weeks of the season, the second-year back is eighth in rushing yards and tied for second in total touchdowns. He could have a solid game on the way as well with the Buffalo Bills on the schedule and inclement weather on the way. The D.C. area is reported to be a likely destination for heavy rain and wind on Sunday. If that indeed occurs, the Commanders may have to turn to a run-heavy approach which favors Robinson's outlook. Based on his recent performances and the upcoming environment, Robinson is a low-end RB1 or a high-end RB2 in Week 3.

Brian Robinson Jr. Goes Over 100 Total Yards In Week 2

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 18 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns while catching two-of-three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. Robinson had a massive day for himself while carving through Denver's defense at will. Through the first two weeks, the Commanders are clearly favoring the former Alabama product in the run game over any other option. With a stable role and a sizeable weekly workload, Robinson could be a solid option to rely on.

Brian Robinson Jr. - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is drawing a tough matchup in Week 2. The Commanders are taking on the Denver Broncos, a team that just gave up just 45 yards on 19 carries to the reigning rushing champion Josh Jacobs. Not only is Robinson an inefficient back, but he's taking on a defense that has proven to be stingy against the run. For the former Alabama product to pay off this week, he's probably going to need to see some heavy volume. He's a mediocre flex option against Denver.

Brian Robinson Jr. Inefficient But Solid Against Arizona

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 19 carries for 51 yards along with one reception for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. In a sluggish day for the Commanders' offense, Robinson seemed to be one of the few decent fantasy contributors. The second-year back was the recipient of Washington's first touchdown of the season on a seven-yard receiving score in the first quarter. Hopefully, the Commanders' offense improves in the coming weeks as it could lead to even better performances from the former Alabama standout.

Brian Robinson Jr. Could Have Large Workload Against Arizona

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. could be in line for a heavy workload against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Washington is entering the game favored by a touchdown as the consensus opinion is that the Cardinals will roll over for most of their matchups in 2023. This favors the run game due to the strong possibility of a positive game script where the Commanders lean on their bruising second-year back. Heading into Week 1, Robinson should be considered an RB2 with upside due to the circumstances surrounding their weak opponent.
