Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. will look to claim the No. 2 role behind Brian Robinson Jr. this weekend but is not a viable option in standard formats facing the New Orleans Saints. In Week 13 with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sitting out, Rodriguez logged seven more carries than the presumed No. 2 option Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez performed very well, averaging just over 7.0 yards per carry in that contest and even added a late goal-line touchdown. While Rodriguez could see opportunities late in the game if the Commanders have a sizeable lead, fantasy managers should only view the 24-year-old as a high-risk flex option in deep 14-plus-team formats, as Robinson will see most of the work on the afternoon.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for an impressive 94 yards with a score on 13 attempts during their Week 13 victory over the Titans. While Brian Robinson Jr. saw most of the opportunities early on, as the Commanders began to pull away, the 24-year-old saw a hefty workload late in the game. It was important to note that Rodriguez saw more attempts than the presumed No. 2 option, Jeremy McNichols, as Austin Ekeler (concussion) is currently on the IR. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to monitor Rodriguez's workload as he could become a viable low-end flex option in deeper formats if he cements himself as the backup behind Robinson while Ekeler remains out.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has moved up the depth chart with Austin Ekeler (concussion) landing on the injured reserve. Rodriguez was cut by the Commanders last week but signed back to the practice squad. He figures to serve as the third string back for the Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. That being said, Brian Robinson Jr. and Jeremy McNichols should see a majority of the snaps in the backfield. Rodriguez might see a few touches, but isn't worth starting in fantasy formats in Week 13.
