Word came out earlier this week that Austin Ekeler would be ruled out of Week 4 against the Cardinals due to a concussion. Despite this and a game total of 50, we can still get Brian Robinson Jr to score a touchdown at -105 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Even with Jeremy McNichols in the mix, Robinson should still have plenty of opportunities to score a touchdown. He’s been the first option near the goal line, as he’s logged four carries already. Ekeler hasn’t had a chance yet and QB Jayden Daniels only took one. Ekeler hadn’t been taking many carries either, seeing a total of 13 through three weeks. He was, however, targeted nine times. This should shift over to Robinson Jr for a handful more touches in a game that is expected to go back and forth between the Cardinals.

Robinson Jr has been very good when carrying the ball in the early going. He’s averaging 4.6 YPC and nearly four yards per carry after contact. The Cardinals have been very poor against the run, allowing an average of over four yards per carry and six rushing touchdowns. We’ve already seen what Robinson can do against a similarly poor run defense like the Giants. Not only did he run for 133 yards, but he logged five carries of at least 10 yards. It would honestly be a shock to me if we don’t see Robinson celebrating a touchdown at some point on Sunday.
