Brian Robinson Jr. Week 3 Outlook - Bills at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

Robinson has been the Commanders' lead back, playing 52-61% of the snaps. He has averaged 20 touches and 97.5 total yards as the RB5 in fantasy. Robinson has been average to below-average, depending on what tackle-breaking metrics you are peering at. Among 48 qualified backs, he is 23rd in yards after contact per attempt and 36th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Buffalo has been hit or miss as a run defense, but they set up nicely this week to defend Robinson. Buffalo has the seventh-highest stuff rate but also the 12th-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt given up. Buffalo has permitted the lowest yards per carry in the NFL (0.46) to zone runs (Robinson 56.8% zone). Robinson is a lock for 15-20 touches this week. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-fueled RB2
