Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. could be a name to watch during Week 8. After seeing little usage for the first six weeks of the season, the rookie ended up splitting carries with fellow back Brian Robinson Jr. while also leading Washington in rushing during Week 7. With the Commanders taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, one thing to monitor is if Rodriguez maintains his role or if he sees an even larger share. With no teams on bye, there are likely few rosters in need of the rookie's services. However, he could be an interesting player to hold over the weekend as an upside stash.--Jack Camenzind - RotoBaller

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. remains a desperation play heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Last weekend, Rodriguez found the back of the end zone and added 16 yards on five attempts. For the second straight week, Rodriguez saw more rushing attempts than the presumed No.2 option, Jeremy McNichols. However, Rodriguez may revert to the No.3 role if Austin Ekeler (concussion) returns to action. He was able to practice in full all week and is listed as questionable which suggests he is nearing a return. If Ekeler does not return, Rodriguez would be viewed as a high-risk touchdown-dependent RB3. However, if Ekeler does return, fantasy managers should not view Rodriguez as a viable play facing the Dallas Cowboys as he would only see a handful of snaps.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for 16 yards and a score on five carries on Sunday evening in their victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Rodriguez also tallied 12 yards on his lone reception. The sophomore running back punched in his score in the fourth quarter on a two-yard carry. While Brian Robinson Jr. saw the vast majority of the attempts, it is promising to see Rodriguez's name called late in the game. In this game, he logged four more attempts than the presumed No.2 option Jeremy McNichols. The Kentucky product has seen a slight uptick in opportunities with Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the injured reserve over the past month. However, with Ekeler nearing a return, fantasy managers should not expect him to have a consistent role in the offense moving forward. For now, he projects to be a desperation flex play in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. will look to claim the No. 2 role behind Brian Robinson Jr. this weekend but is not a viable option in standard formats facing the New Orleans Saints. In Week 13 with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sitting out, Rodriguez logged seven more carries than the presumed No. 2 option Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez performed very well, averaging just over 7.0 yards per carry in that contest and even added a late goal-line touchdown. While Rodriguez could see opportunities late in the game if the Commanders have a sizeable lead, fantasy managers should only view the 24-year-old as a high-risk flex option in deep 14-plus-team formats, as Robinson will see most of the work on the afternoon.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for an impressive 94 yards with a score on 13 attempts during their Week 13 victory over the Titans. While Brian Robinson Jr. saw most of the opportunities early on, as the Commanders began to pull away, the 24-year-old saw a hefty workload late in the game. It was important to note that Rodriguez saw more attempts than the presumed No. 2 option, Jeremy McNichols, as Austin Ekeler (concussion) is currently on the IR. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to monitor Rodriguez's workload as he could become a viable low-end flex option in deeper formats if he cements himself as the backup behind Robinson while Ekeler remains out.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
