BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB16
ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was one of my favorite running backs to draft this year. The veteran is the RB15 over the first three weeks, averaging 13.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He struggled against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, averaging 2.1 yards per rushing attempt.
However, Robinson is one of my favorite starts in Week 4. Austin Ekeler won’t play on Sunday because of a concussion, leaving Jeremy McNichols as Robinson’s only competition in the backfield. More importantly, the former Alabama star has an outstanding matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Commanders HC Dan Quinn ruled out RB Austin Ekeler for Sunday’s game at Arizona due to a concussion.

The Cardinals have surrendered 22.7 fantasy points per game to running backs, the ninth-most in the NFL. They have given up at least 90 rushing yards or a touchdown to running backs in every game this season, including 188 yards and a touchdown last week to the Detroit Lions backfield.
While Jayden Daniels will steal some of Robinson’s rushing production around the goal line, the star running back should see an uptick in targets with Ekeler unable to play this week.
