Availability
Brian Robinson Jr. carried the ball nine times for 31 yards in a 20-13 loss to the Steelers in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson mixed in as the backup behind Bijan Robinson in the close loss. The veteran running back will continue to see some work as a breather back moving forward but he won't have much fantasy value outside of being a handcuff option. He will take on the Panthers in Week 2.
The Falcons signed RB Brian Robinson to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson becomes the second "B. Robinson" in the Falcons backfield. With Tyler Allgeier in Arizona, Brian will serve as the backup to Bijan.
The 49ers have reportedly shown interest in bringing back Brian Robinson Jr.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson was moved to San Francisco in a trade last season. His market has been quiet as he potentially seeks a new opportunity where he can see more touches. He is purely a handcuff for fantasy managers if he returns to the 49ers.
Brian Robinson Jr. had two carries for nine yards in San Francisco's 13-3 loss to Seattle on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson Jr. had a string of eight consecutive games with at least four carries before Saturday's effort. The veteran running back still serves as a security blanket for the 49ers in the event Christian McCaffrey goes down.
Brian Robinson Jr. rushed four times for 22 yards while also catching his only target for six yards in the 49ers' 42-38 win over the Bears in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson Jr. has made minimal impact out of the San Francisco backfield, rushing for 40 yards or less in each of his last six games. The running back remains more of a handcuff to No. 1 option Christian McCaffrey ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.
