Brian Robinson Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook (2022)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 1st 2022, 10:27am EDT

According to Commanders head coach Ron Rivera, we could see third-rounder Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson work together in a similar fashion to how Jonathan Stewart and De'Angelo Williams operated during Rivera's tenure in Carolina.Coaches lie all the time so I wouldn't overreact, but Robinson owning a legitimate 1B role on offense isn't shocking based on Gibson's injuries/fumbles and their investment in the Alabama running back in this year's draft. Not to mention, Robinson has been the more impressive of the two backs this summer, earning starter reps in the team's first two preseason games. Robinson finished third in missed tackles and seventh in PFF rushing grade (90.4) while also flashing his chops in the passing game last season. He caught 35 of 38 targets for 296 receiving yards. He is far from a can't-miss prospect but offers the physicality and size to be a thumper for the Commanders.
