Brian Robinson Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Sat, Aug 30th 2025, 12:53pm EDT

With seventh-round rookie RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt drawing raves in Washington's training camp, the Commanders traded Robinson to the 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick. Robinson will probably be the top backup to 49ers lead RB Christian McCaffrey, although the San Francisco RB room also includes second-year man Isaac Guerendo and rookie Jordan James. There's zero stand-alone value for Robinson now, but he appears to be the preferred handcuff for McCaffrey and would have considerable upside in Kyle Shanahan's RB-friendly system if CMC were to go down.
