Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) does not carry an injury designation and will be good to go to face the Titans on Sunday. In addition, No. 2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) was ruled out, which should open the door for even more opportunities for Robinson. Robinson suffered an ankle injury last week during their loss to Dallas and could only see five carries for 13 yards. However, through his previous eight games this season, the Alabama product found the end zone seven times and averaged a solid 14.1 PPR points per game. Despite facing a tough Tennessee rushing defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, fantasy managers should view Robinson as a high-end RB2 as he should see a workhorse role.
Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a solid QB1 in all formats in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans. Last weekend, the rookie broke out of a two-game slump, totaling 275 passing and 74 rushing yards with three total scores in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Daniels scored just one combined score in his previous two games and averaged 196.5 passing yards per game in that span. Throughout his rookie campaign, the LSU standout averaged over 250+ yards per game and tallied 17 total scores. This weekend, he faces the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing QBs, which sets up Daniels for another QB1 showing.
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation for this Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to John Keim of ESPN. Robinson sustained this ankle injury last weekend during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Alabama product was only able to log five carries before exiting early. Even though Robinson missed time earlier this season, fantasy managers should feel confident locking him in as a solid RB2 as he has found the end zone seven times through eight games. In addition, No. 2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) will not suit up, which will open up even more opportunities for Robinson, which could make him a low-end RB1 despite facing a tough Tennessee rushing defense.
Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) will not suit up this weekend when the Washington Commanders host the Tennessee Titans. Ekeler suffered this concussion (his second of the season) during last weekend's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Before exiting the game tallied 22 yards on nine rushing attempts. Ekeler has enjoyed a solid debut campaign in the DMV, as he has averaged 11.6 PPR points per game, operating primarily as a third-down option. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Brian Robinson Jr. to see the majority of snaps, while Jeremy McNichols could mix in as a change-of-pace option. Even though the Titans have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, Robinson could have top-12 upside, given the increased workload.
Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. Wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) was also sidelined after being added to the injury report. The Commanders enter this week with a few concerning injuries on offense, including Ekeler, Brown, and Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle). Ekeler, who has 355 rushing yards, 346 receiving yards, and four touchdowns this season, could be looking at a multi-week absence after suffering a scary concussion on a kick return during the final seconds of last Sunday's battle with Dallas. Meanwhile, Brown has blossomed into one of Jayden Daniels' favorite targets, catching 32 passes for 426 yards and one touchdown through 10 games. If Brown can't suit up this week, we could see more opportunities for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zacchaeus, and Luke McCaffrey behind Washington's top receiver, Terry McLaurin.
