Brian Robinson Jr. Week 4 Outlook - Commanders at Cardinals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 27th 2024, 11:05pm EDT

Robinson Jr. is the RB18 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.7 touches and 87.4 total yards. Last week with Austin Ekeler leaving with a concussion, he played a season-high 76% of the snaps. With Ekeler out, Robinson Jr. could get near bellcow usage in Week 4. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks tenth in explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt. He has shown well in limited opportunities as a receiver this season. Among 42 qualifying backs, he ranks 10th in YPRR and 19th in TPRR. Robinson will need the extra checkdowns this week as he faces a surprisingly tough Arizona run defense. The Cardinals have yielded the ninth-lowest explosive run rate, the 13th-lowest missed tackle rate, the 10th-lowest gap rushing success rate, and the sixth-lowest gap yards per carry (Robinson 51% gap).
