Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was listed as limited on the Commanders' injury report on Tuesday. Robinson has not played since Week 8 because of the injury. He was close to returning in Week 11 so his activity on Tuesday suggests that he may be on track to return this week. Additionally, Robinson was limited on Monday's practice report as well. As long as Robinson keeps up this trend then he seems to have a good shot to play in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers will rejoice to have Robinson back in lineups. In seven games played in 2024, Robinson has racked up six touchdowns and 461 rushing yards. The Commanders' offense has been one of the best in the league thanks to rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. As such, Robinson's scoring opportunities have been constant. The Eagles defense presents a tough challenge for Robinson and he may be worked back into the lineup slowly. Should he suit up, he will likely be a low-end RB2 in Week 11.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is not ready to have his practice window opened, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The veteran in his 10th NFL season was placed on Injured Reserve on October 2 and is eligible to return, but he is still working his way back from a calf injury. Crowder has tallied 432 receptions for 4,831 yards and 29 touchdowns in 119 career games with Washington, the New York Jets, and the Buffalo Bills, but he has become primarily a return specialist in recent years and is not on the fantasy football radar.
Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. The Commanders conducted a walkthrough on Monday and didn't hold an official practice. Seibert injured his right hip in Week 9 and didn't play in the Week 10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the 27-year-old is not able to return to practice on a short week, he figures to miss a second straight game this Thursday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. In eight games before his injury, Seibert connected on a league-leading 25 of his 27 field-goal tries while making all 22 of his extra points, so he was firmly on the fantasy radar. In his first NFL game since 2021 while filling in for Seibert in Week 10, Zane Gonzalez made both of his field goals and all three of his extra points.
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was listed as limited during the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. The team didn't actually practice, so Robinson's status is an estimation. Robinson missed his second straight game in the Week 10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and could be in danger of missing a third straight contest if the team doesn't clear him to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. However, if the 25-year-old is able to get back to a full practice in the next two days, he could have a shot to return to Washington's backfield. However, if B-Rob is active on a short week, he could see a smaller workload as he works his way back into the fold. With Robinson out again this past Sunday, Austin Ekeler led the backfield yet again and found his way into the end zone two more times.
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz saw a team-high eight targets in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon. However, he could only bring in four of them for 31 yards. Despite the modest output in the box score, this was a great bounce-back showing for Ertz, as he brought in his lone target last weekend for a mere five yards. During Weeks 6 through 8, the 34-year-old caught at least four passes in each game and saw at least five targets. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ertz as a low-end TE1 going forward, given his role as a prominent pass catcher in the Washington offense. Next week, he will face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 17th-most PPR points to opposing tight ends.
