Brian Robinson Jr. Week 5 Outlook - Browns at Commanders
By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Oct 6th 2024, 12:05pm EDT
Robinson Jr. has been a wonderful RB2 this season. As the RB17 in fantasy points per game, he has averaged 18.5 touches and 93.8 total yards. Among 53 qualifying backs, he ranks ninth in explosive run rate and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. He hasn't flashed a massive passing game ceiling, but he does have at least three targets in three of his four games. Robinson Jr. should return RB2 production in Week 5 against a Browns run defense that has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the second-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 14th-most rushing yards per game. Robinson Jr. has been listed as a game-time decision after dealing with a knee issue this week. He didnât practice on Wednesday or Thursday before sneaking in a limited session on Friday. Iâd consider him closer to doubtful, so prepare a backup option for Week 5.
