What the Experts Are Saying

Rookie sensation Jayden Daniels may be getting the headlines, but Brian Robinson Jr. has been a key and consistent cog in the Commanders’ resurgence on offense. The third-year back has 100-plus yards or a touchdown in all four games for Washington so far. Robinson has a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. However, he missed practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. As long as Robinson is cleared and has no limitations, fantasy managers should continue to treat him as an every-week starter.
