Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) will be inactive in Week 9 versus the division-rival New York Giants on Sunday. As of Sunday morning, Robinson was expected to be OK to play, but plans changed after he was put through a pre-game workout. He came into Sunday's game listed as questionable on the final injury report. Fantasy managers that were planning on starting Robinson this weekend will obviously have to move him to their benches now. Austin Ekeler essentially becomes a must-start in fantasy with B-Rob out in a good matchup against a Giants defense that has given up the 10th-most half-PPR fantasy points to RBs in the last three weeks. Behind Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols will also see an uptick in usage as Washington's No. 2 back against New York.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants. Robinson was limited throughout the week, which put his status for Sunday in real danger. However, Robinson is reportedly making great progress and appears to be good to go for Sunday's divisional contest. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of kickoff for official confirmation. Austin Ekeler would remain as the primary backup, assuming Robinson is able to go on Sunday.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is anticipated to play in Sunday's NFC East matchup with the New York Giants. The Commanders elevated Chris Rodriguez Jr. off the practice squad on Saturday, with many believing the move meant Robinson wouldn't be on the field. However, it appears he'll be out there, which is great news for fantasy managers. The 25-year-old has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, accumulating 461 yards and six touchdowns off 101 carries. He's a must-start in Week 9, although his expected participation in Sunday's contest will likely result in lower production from Austin Ekeler.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the New York Giants according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Alabama product has been a limited participant all week with a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old was also dealing with a knee injury and had to sit out during Week 6. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend as Robinson may be a game-time decision leading up to their divisional battle against the Giants. Robinson has scored double-digit PPR points in all but one game this season and has found the end zone six times in seven games. If he is unable to suit up, Austin Ekeler should be expected to see the majority of work with Jeremy McNichols serving as a change-of-pace option.

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.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Chicago Bears, as he could see an increased workload. With rookie QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) being a game-time decision, the Alabama product could be relieved heavily with Marcus Mariota under center. Even though Robinson was sidelined in Week 6 with a knee injury, he was very productive in his return the following week as he tallied 71 yards and a score on 12 carries. Through six games this season, Robinson has averaged 15.1 PPR points per game with six total scores. Facing a Chicago defense that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season makes Robinson a safe RB2 with upside.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a productive day in his return as he tallied 71 yards on the ground off 12 attempts and found the end zone for the sixth time this season. He did not see a target in the passing game. The Commanders got ahead of Carolina quite early and gave their rusher a limited workload in the second half as the game was out of hand. However, the 25-year-old looked healthy after his Week 6 absence due to a knee injury as he reclaimed his typical short-yardage role. Robinson should be locked into all lineups as an RB2 next weekend against the Chicago Bears.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of this weekend. The 25-year-old has been quite productive in the Commanders' up-and-coming offense, posting 393 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns through five games so far this year. He'll rank as a low-end RB1 for fantasy football in Week 7.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is expected to suit up for the Week 7 meeting with the Carolina Panthers. Robinson has been battling a knee injury, keeping him off the field for the Week 6 loss to the Ravens. As a result, Austin Ekeler was the No. 1 option out of the backfield, finishing with 21 yards off nine carries and four receptions for 47 yards. Of course, Ekeler's fantasy outlook isn't as favorable with Robinson's anticipated return. On the other hand, Robinson is a must-start in any fantasy format for a favorable matchup with Carolina.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson sat out last week due to this knee injury but returned to practice this week in a limited capacity. John Keim of ESPN reported that the Alabama product is "trending in the right direction" as well. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status while heading into the weekend. If Robinson can play, he should be locked into all lineups as a solid RB2. If not, Austin Ekeler should see a significant uptick in opportunities, with Jeremy McNichols entering low-end flex territory, facing the worst run defense in football.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is back at practice on Thursday after logging a limited session on Wednesday with a knee injury. He missed the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The third-year back out of Alabama has been excellent to start the season, scoring at least 13.8 half-PPR fantasy points in four of his five games. If Robinson does not suffer a setback, he could be in a smash spot against the Carolina Panthers, who have surrendered the most fantasy points per game to running backs. If he's out, Austin Ekeler has RB1 upside. However, Ekeler could be worth a flex spot even if Robinson returns. Fantasy managers with Robinson or Ekeler should monitor Robinson's status on Friday heading into Week 7 start-or-sit calls.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) will practice on Wednesday following his absence from the Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens due to a foot injury. The third-year back out of Alabama scored between 10.2 and 18.8 half-PPR fantasy points in all five of his contests this year, so fantasy managers would obviously like to have him back ahead of a juicy matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have surrendered the most fantasy points per game to RBs through Week 6. It's a good idea to monitor Robinson's practice participation moving forward, as he's close to a must-start option if he can play on Sunday. Austin Ekeler will have RB1 upside if Robinson can't play, but he's a flex consideration even if he does.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. This seemed likely to happen considering Robinson wasn't able to practice all week. Robinson will sit out at least one game after suffering a knee injury during last week's win. The Commanders will likely split up the backfield duties between Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols. Ekeler has been pretty quiet this season, but did rush for 67 yards on six carries last week. However, McNichols has been seeing more redzone work with three touchdowns over the last two games. The assumption is Ekeler does more of the passing catching while McNicols gets the early work on the ground. The Ravens have done a good job at slowing down running backs on the ground, so Ekeler has more upside between the two.

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.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was not spotted during the open portion of Thursday's practice, meaning he's likely to be listed as a "DNP" with a knee injury for the second straight day. Robinson missed the first day of practice last week and still played, but opening the week with two straight missed practices is far from ideal. If Robinson is in real danger of missing the Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, Austin Ekeler (heel) could become an RB2 option, while Jeremy McNichols could be utilized as a deep-league flex play. Through the first five weeks of the season, Robinson is the RB9 in half-PPR formats and has posted over 400 yards of offense. Ekeler and McNichols have looked good in limited roles, but Baltimore has surrendered the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs through Week 5. Robinson's official game status will be announced Friday afternoon, so this is a "wait and see" situation.

Oct 9 6:00pm CT

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was a DNP at practice on Wednesday. Robinson has been excellent in 2024 en route to 325 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He has added eight receptions for 68 yards. Robinson has thrived with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels propelling the Commanders offense to the top of the league. His yards per carry average of 4.5 is a carry high and his five rushing touchdowns already match his career high in that category. As such, Robinson has consistently delivered RB2 numbers in fantasy. Hopefully, his absence from practice is simply for rest. However, fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on his practice status over the next couple of days. While the Commanders' matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6 is not ideal for running backs, Robinson would still have a chance at goal-line opportunities.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) came out of the Week 5 win over the Cleveland Browns "well." Robinson didn't have a carry in the second half of the game on Sunday, which Quinn said was "a coaching decision" as they monitor his knee. In the first half, B-Rob had seven carries for only 18 yards, but he saved the day for his fantasy managers by finding the end zone twice in an easy win over Cleveland. With the Commanders up big in the second half, there was really no need to push the 25-year-old after he came into the game questionable due to a knee injury. Robinson has five rushing touchdowns through five weeks, but fantasy managers have to be a little concerned that his workload will continue to be monitored heading into a Week 6 contest versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied just 18 yards but found the end zone twice in their Week 5 victory. The Alabama product salvaged his fantasy day thanks to two goal line carries. Robinson came into this game battling a knee injury during the week, which could have limited him, as he saw only seven carries, which was his lowest of the season. However, given how impressive the Commanders' offense has looked, Robinson had great scoring opportunities despite having a tough day in the run game. Robinson remains a must-start RB2 heading into Week 6.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is officially active for Week 5 versus the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable but was expected to suit up. Robinson should have a normal workload without any injury limitations this week, but he might not be able to replicate last week's 100-yard performance now that Austin Ekeler is healthy again. Still, Robinson is a fringe top-12 fantasy running back given his volume, touchdown upside, and role within the Commanders' highly productive offense.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game versus the Browns. He was officially labeled as questionable heading into this contest. However, with Austin Ekeler (concussion) also cleared to play, the Commanders will have their top options out of the backfield. While Robinson's presence should mean fewer touches for Ekeler, the knee injury could still jeopardize the former's volume in Week 5. As a result, both should be considered flex options against Cleveland, although Robinson's ceiling is still considerably higher.
