Brian Robinson Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied just 16 yards on 10 attempts during their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Robinson was deployed as the top option in the backfield but could not get any rhythm going in the running game. He performed better as a receiver, bringing in four of his five targets for 22 yards. Later in the game, the Commanders opted to give Austin Ekeler starting opportunities, which could suggest that Robinson may have a smaller workload in next weekend's game against the Detroit Lions. During Weeks 16 through 18, the Alabama product also struggled, averaging an underwhelming 31.3 yards per game. DFS players should opt to fade Robinson next weekend, as he will face a Detroit defense that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points per game to opposing RBs.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. has struggled to generate much on the ground over the past month and has another tough matchup ahead of him on Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Over his past four games, Robinson has only tallied double-digit PPR points once and averaged a mere 39.8 rushing yards per game. During this span, he did not score a touchdown and saw just 2.3 targets per game. However, prior to this stretch, the Alabama product averaged a strong 13.4 PPR points per game and scored eight touchdowns in ten games. Given his lack of recent production and the return of Austin Ekeler, Robinson Jr. is a touchdown-dependent RB2 in DFS that does not carry much upside facing a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. ran the ball just five times for ten yards during their victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Robinson brought in his lone target for six yards. With Austin Ekeler back in action, Robinson saw his workload decrease. This matched his previous lowest rushing attempt total of the campaign. With the Commanders trailing throughout the game, Robinson was unable to find much rhythm in a negative game script. Entering this game, Robinson was carrying a three-game touchdown drought. During this stretch, he averaged just 49.7 rushing yards per game. During his first ten games of the season, he tallied eight touchdowns with 64.0 yards per game. Given his current struggles, fantasy managers should view Robinson as a low-end RB2 heading into the postseason.
