Should you start Brian Robinson Jr. in fantasy football this week vs Eagles? Here's our take.

Brian Robinson Jr. looked like a solid running back in 2024 for the Washington Commanders, and while that’s true when he’s health and on the field, he’s dealt with injuries that have kept him out for three games this year.

That’s included the last two Commanders contests, which he’s missed with a hamstring issue. But no he’s off the injured list for Thursday’s tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles.

So: should you start him in fantasy football?

This is a bit complicated. I think it’s going to be a high-scoring affair, which might suggest Austin Ekeler will get lots of time on the field to catch passes. Plus, Robinson is coming off injury and the Eagles are stout against the run.

If you NEED to start him due to byes and injuries, I guess you should do it but don’t expect a huge game. Otherwise? You can bench him this week.
