2023 Fantasy Outlook

In 2022 Washington entertained the theory that their years of poor offensive results were due to failures by Antonio Gibson, and they committed to that theory by feeding Robinson carries for 12 games. The results didn't get any better for the offense, and coordinator Scott Turner has since been fired, so it's not clear how committed to Robinson the Commanders might be at this point. Robinson holds on to the ball and always keeps an anchor as a runner, but he struggles to dodge defenders or create yardage after contact and won't run away from anyone. New OC Eric Bieniemy holds the keys to the Washington offense, so Robinson's fantasy value going forward largely depends on whether Bieniemy prefers Robinson over Gibson and rookie sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez. Robinson was gifted rushing volume against a weak schedule in 2022 and still got nowhere near the production demonstrated by Gibson as a rookie, while Rodriguez was a more explosive runner in the SEC at Kentucky (6.2 YPC, 33 touchdowns) than Robinson was at Alabama (5.0 YPC, 29 touchdowns).

Finds end zone in OT loss

RBWashington Commanders

October 1, 2023

Robinson carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for six yards in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Eagles.

ANALYSIS
The running back found paydirt midway through the fourth quarter on a 15-yard run, tying the game at 24-24 and setting up a wild finish. The yardage was Robinson's lowest in four games so far this season, but he's scored four TDs along the way to maintain strong fantasy value. He could be poised for an even bigger performance in Week 5 against a Bears defense that was just gashed for over 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown by Denver rookie RB Jaleel McLaughlin.

2022 Fantasy Outlook

Alabama has churned out a number of productive NFL running backs in recent years, but Robinson could have a hard time living up to the standard set by Josh Jacobs and Damien Harris, much less Najee Harris and Derrick Henry. The third-round rookie is big and strong enough to handle a large workload, but his upright running style invites contact and he doesn't have the speed or elusiveness to avoid many tacklers. With the Commanders, the 6-foot-1, 228-pounder initially was expected to take some short-yardage work away from returnee Antonio Gibson and possibly push for a key early-down role, but his NFL regular season debut is on hold after he was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List on Sept. 1, as Robinson is recovering from wounds suffered during a robbery attempt. As a result, rookie back will miss at least the first four games of the season, with a timetable for his return yet to be determined.
