Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied 103 yards and a score off 16 carries during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He was not targeted in the passing game. Robinson wasted little time as he posted an impressive 40-yard TD run on their opening possession. The Commanders would have a sizeable lead throughout, which allowed Robinson to see a slight decrease in workload by the second half. However, with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, the Alabama product would dominate touches while the game was close. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing Robinson as a solid RB2 with scoring upside heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Saints, as the Commanders are off next weekend.
Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 25-for-30 with 206 passing yards, 34 rushing yards, an interception, and four total scores in their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Commanders got out to an early 21-point lead in the opening quarter. Brian Robinson Jr. scored on the opening drive, while Daniels added a rushing score and a TD pass to Terry McLaurin later in that frame. Then, in the second quarter, he found McLaurin in the end zone for the second time today. Daniels capped off his impressive outing with his fourth touchdown, this time on a pass to tight end Zach Ertz. With the Commanders in the driver's seat through most of the afternoon, the LSU product did not need to push the ball downfield quite often. However, he was dominant in the red zone and was able to still enjoy a strong fantasy showing. Daniels and the Commanders will get a much-needed bye week next weekend and set their sights on a Week 15 tilt in the Big Easy against the Saints.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (rib) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He has since been taken to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught three of four targets for 27 yards through the air. Brown has been the Commanders' de facto No. 2 wide receiver this season, and his absence will lead to additional opportunities for Olamide Zaccheaus, Dyami Brown, and Luke McCaffrey.
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.
Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The veteran has played relatively well this season, amassing 355 yards and four touchdowns off 74 carries, adding 33 catches for 346 yards. While he hasn't been as productive as when he was with the Chargers, his absence is an issue for the Commanders, especially with Brian Robinson Jr. banged up throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Without Ekeler, Robinson should see more involvement in the offense on Sunday versus the Titans and beyond. Jeremy McNichols will also have a chance to get more involved, although his presence on fantasy rosters should be only for insurance purposes, at least until he proves he has fantasy value.
