Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Brian Robinson Play Week 6?
Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) to be game-time decision Week 6
Brian Robinson Jr. is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson was not able to practice through Thursday for the Commanders. The concern is he did not see a touch in the second half last week after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning on Friday. Robinson will be a risky RB2/flex play if he is active.

Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) not seen at practice Thursday
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. was not spotted at the media-open portion of practice on Thursday, his second day in a row.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson was a Wednesday DNP, and consecutive missed practices put him on track to be absent on Sunday for Week 6, though he did follow the same pattern (W-DNP; Th-DNP) ahead of Week 5 before being limited on Friday and playing on Sunday. The former Alabama RB has been strong this season, rushing for 325 yards (14th) and five TDs (t-third). If he misses action, that sets up veteran RB Austin Ekeler and RB Jeremy McNichols to be the beneficiaries, both of whom have found success in recent weeks in a surging offense.

What the Experts Are Saying
Robinson Jr. entered the Week 5 banged up, and he proceeded to play a season-low 34% of the snaps with only seven touches and 18 total yards. His two touchdowns saved his fantasy day. Overall, he is the RB15 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.2 touches and 78.6 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, Robinson has been strong as a tackle-breaker, ranking 22nd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Temper your expectations for Robinson Jr. this week, though. This is a beyond-brutal matchup. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, the fewest rushing yards per game, and the lowest yards after contact per attempt. Robinson Jr. has been listed as questionable, but he hasn’t practiced all week, so he is likely closer to doubtful. I won’t be surprised if he misses Week 6.
