2025 Fantasy Outlook
Robinson was traded to San Francisco on Aug. 22, after starting the last three years for Washington, a span in which he averaged roughly 965 rushing yards per 17 games, at 4.1 yards per carry. That likely makes Robinson a below-average pure runner by starting-RB standards, but his combination of size and decent passing-game skills has some value to an offense. In San Francisco, he'll compete with Isaac Guerendo for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, needing an injury to Christian McCaffrey for any real shot at fantasy value. It's a far less promising situation than Robinson's former backfield timeshare with Austin Ekeler in Washington. Read Past Outlooks

Traded to 49ers
The Commanders are trading Robinson to the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Christian McCaffrey has remained healthy all summer, but nearly all of the 49ers' other running backs have missed time with injuries, including Isaac Guerendo (shoulder). Guerendo did return to practice earlier this week, but there's now risk he drops down the depth chart with San Francisco trading for Robinson, who has 40 starts and 22 TDs to his name in the NFL (including playoffs). The Commanders, meanwhile, are left with Austin Ekeler, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols in the backfield. Washington reportedly will receive a sixth-round pick and eat some of Robinson's $3.4 million base salary, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Robinson has yet to show explosiveness in the NFL while fumbling six times on 428 touches, but he remains the favorite for power-rushing work in a new-look Washington offense under coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. The bad news is that the Commanders signed Austin Ekeler, who could hold a monopoly on the passing-down snaps even after Robinson's 43 targets last season yielded a 36-368-4 receiving line. If Ekeler has a much larger role than what former backfield mate Antonio GIbson took on last year, Robinson's fantasy production will largely depend on Washington remaining competitive in any given game. There's also the potential for 2023 sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez to steal some carries -- something that happened late last season before Rodriguez hurt his ankle -- especially if Robinson keeps fumbling (four in 2023) or simply isn't as highly regarded by the new coaching staff. Rodriguez might even be the more explosive runner of the two, so Robinson needs to minimize mistakes and perhaps do a better job using his 228-pound frame to pick up extra yards after contact.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reportedly being shopped
According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the Commanders have been shopping Robinson in hopes of trading him.
ANALYSIS
Robinson is heading into the final season of his four-year rookie contract. He led all Washington running backs with 799 rushing yards in 2024, marking the third consecutive season in which he rushed for at least 733 yards. The other running backs currently with the Commanders are Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols, Chris Rodriguez, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kazmeir Allen and Demetric Felton. Croskey-Merritt has been making a push for a spot when the team cuts down to 53 players in the regular season, but the rookie seventh-round pick has been limited by a shoulder injury in recent practices.
