Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. looks to continue to stake his claim as the lead runner in the Washington offense and should be locked into all lineups as an RB2 this weekend. Robinson saw 12 carries in the season opener compared to two from backfield mate Austin Ekeler. Robinson caught three passes on four targets through the air, while Ekeler caught four. Robinson tallied 89 total yards and a score against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was just a few inches away from punching in a second score but was tackled at the one-yard line, which set up a Jayden Daniels QB run. It was a promising sign to see the Alabama product begin to emerge as not just the "1A" of the backfield but the clear leader. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Robinson in a game where he should see plenty of red zone opportunities against a weak Giants team.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. led the Commanders backfield in rushing with 40 yards and a score. He added 49 yards on three receptions. Entering the season, many expected the Commanders to deploy a committee approach, but Robinson was the clear workhorse running back in the season opener. Austin Ekeler saw just two rushing attempts but did see slightly more work in the passing game. The Alabama product found the end zone on a seven-yard carry in the second quarter. Later in the third, Robinson made an impressive 32-yard catch but was unfortunately tackled at the one-yard line which set up a rushing score for Jayden Daniels. Even though he did not finish with a hefty rushing total, seeing the vast majority of carries compared to Ekeler is an excellent sign of his fantasy stock. Fantasy managers should continue to treat Robison as a low-end RB2/flex play in Week 2 as the Commanders face their division rival, the New York Giants.
