Robinson also caught one pass for 11 yards. The Commanders' RB1 didn't get much going against the Bears' run defense, with his biggest run coming on a 19-yard gain in the first quarter. Robinson continues to run well ahead of Austin Ekeler, who saw just seven carries and just three targets. Robinson will be a high-end RB2 in Week 9 against the Giants.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 12 times for 71 yards and 1 score in Sunday's blowout win over Carolina. Robinson (knee) entered the weekend as questionable on the injury report; he was a limited practice participant Wednesday-Friday.
Ekeler played well behind Brian Robinson in Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers. The veteran running back has served primarily as a third-down/change of pace back this season, and the Commanders didn't find much use for his services in a game where the offense averaged 6.7 yards per play. Ekeler has only one top-24 fantasy finish on the season and shouldn't be viewed as anything more than an RB3 in next week's game against the Bears.
Robinson resumed his RB1 role in Sunday's win over the Panthers. He handled 12 of the Commanders' 37 rush attempts, and likely would have seen a busier day if not for the blowout victory. Robinson's biggest gain of the day went for 11 yards, but he also found the end zone on an eight-yard run in the second quarter. Robinson continues to serve as a reliable RB2 in fantasy, but brings plenty of RB1 upside with him into any given week. He'll be a must-start in Week 8 against the Bears.
Running back Brian Robinson is back in the Commanders lineup.
