BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has led the RB room of one of the most efficient and consistent offenses in the league, and while he hasn't lit up the scoreboards, much, he's scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in six of the seven games he's played in this season.

He's been solid and effective all season, and plays consistently well in all his games. Unfortunately, he doesn't have big pass-catching upside, but he's a solid player to put in your FLEX spot in normal leagues and RB2 spot in deeper leagues. He only scored 8.6 PPR fantasy points in Week 8, but that was against a tough Chicago Bears defense.
He'll face a softer matchup in the New York Giants in Week 9, and should be expected to score between 10 and 20 points. He's the clear lead back for the team, has had a solid rushing workload this season, and has nice touchdown upside due to an abundance of goal line carries and being in an offense that consistently scores on their drives.
His injury isn't seen as serious, but fantasy managers should stay updated on that situation.

Quarterbacks are generally the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, and a dud game from your QB can sink your week and lose you your matchup. For that reason, it's vitally important that you make good start/sit decisions for this position, perhaps more so than others. The floor QBs possess is always nice, but nightmare games, […]

The tight-end position is perhaps the most difficult to predict in fantasy football. Even for the best players in this position, usage in the passing game can vary wildly on a week-by-week basis, creating frustrating situations for fantasy managers, who obviously want to start the highest-scoring guys. To make matters worse, some of them seem […]
Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Jaylen Warren, Jerome Ford, Pat Freiermuth
Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, and Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth are three players that aren't the most exciting starting options heading into Week 12. However, injuries and deeper leagues exist, so they're very much in play for starting roles on some fantasy football rosters. They'll play tonight […]
Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Rhamondre Stevenson, Rico Dowdle, Javonte Williams
It's a great feeling to have players who are sure-fire starters every week and rack up huge point totals regularly. However, most teams aren't loaded with premier top-10 players at their positions. Most teams' RB2 and RB3/FLEX players have plenty of variability in their weekly scoring. There are also changes that shake up many backfields […]
