Brian Robinson Jr. Week 8 Outlook - Bears at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Robinson Jr. is the RB17 in fantasy points per game, averaging 15.5 touches and 77.3 total yards. In his last two games played, he has seen his volume cut as he is dealing with a knee issue. He has averaged 36% of the snaps with 9.5 touches and 44.5 total yards per game. Among 66 qualifying backs, he ranks 21st in explosive run rate, 27th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. With the volume reduction and the tough matchup incoming, consider fading Robinson Jr. this week. Chicago has held backs to the second-lowest missed tackle rate, the 11th-fewest rushing yards per game, and the seventh-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
