When Will Brian Robinson Jr. Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 11 (2024)

Robinson (hamstring) was noted as a limited participant on Monday’s estimated practice report, providing a glimmer of hope for his potential return. Robinson missed practice last Friday before the Commanders ruled him out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Steelers.

While Monday's session was just a walkthrough, his limited designation suggests he might be on the mend and could return to the lineup for Washington’s Thursday night showdown against the Eagles.

Fantasy football managers looking for clarity on Robinson’s Week 11 status should watch for Washington’s next injury report, expected on Tuesday, which will offer more insight into his recovery.

If Robinson can practice more fully this week, it would boost his chances of playing Thursday. However, if he remains limited or unable to practice, it may indicate he’s still not quite ready, meaning fantasy managers may need to prepare alternate options.

When Brian Robinson Jr. returns from his hamstring injury, fantasy football managers can view him as a solid RB3 with RB2 upside.

In his seven games this season, Robinson has showcased his scoring ability with six touchdowns, underscoring his role as Washington’s preferred option near the goal line.

As the clear RB1 in this backfield when healthy, Robinson is expected to handle most of the early-down and red-zone work, making him a dependable option for standard leagues.

However, his ceiling in PPR formats may be somewhat capped due to Austin Ekeler’s role as the primary pass-catching back in Washington’s offense. Still, Robinson’s consistent usage on the ground and strong touchdown potential provide valuable upside, especially in favorable matchups.
