Jeremy McNichols

The meager fantasy production comes one week after the veteran back lost two fumbles for the Commanders in a game they would ultimately win over the Eagles. Many assumed the absence of Austin Ekeler would vault Robinson into a workhorse role for the Commanders, but the presence of Chris Rodriguez, who scored in this one, and Jeremy McNichols have proved those predictions false. After locking up a playoff berth and seemingly having nothing left to play for, there is the possibility the Commanders rest key starters in Week 18 against the Cowboys. That could provide more run for Rodriguez, who managed 16 yards on five carries and a score in Week 17.

Robinson lost not one, but two fumbles on the day and was phased out of the Washington offense in the team's furious second half comeback. Robinson was his usual plodding self early on, doing almost nothing after first contact and committing two of the Commanders' five turnovers on the day. He ran a route on 22 of Washington's 48 drop backs. Chris Rodriguez had three carries while Jeremy McNichols saw two rushing attempts. Robinson, who had 38 rushes in two games before Week 16, should be a solid RB2 play next week against Atlanta.

Brian Robinson, as usual, led the Washington backfield with eight carries. Robinson lost two fumbles and struggled to break tackles, and McNichols took over as the main pass-catching back with the Commanders in catchup mode. His four receptions (on 14 routes) were the second most among Washington pass catchers. McNichols won't be fantasy viable unless Robinson misses time.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. lost a pair of fumbles in Sunday's win over the Eagles. The first came on the team's second possession, and then Robinson logged just 1 touch over Washington's next two drives. After his second fumble -- early in the second quarter -- RB Chris Rodriguez saw his first action on the ensuing drive. Robinson did return again and finished the game as Washington's lead back. He still played 42 snaps to 19 for Jeremy McNichols and 7 for Rodriguez. Robinson logged just 10 carries for 24 yards and a 2-17 receiving line on 3 targets.
