Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injuries to Brian Robinson Jr. ($6,600) and Austin Ekeler ($5,600).
A dynamic Commanders‘ offense dealt with some uncertainty this week due to the health of Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) and Austin Ekeler (concussion). The running back tandem has been crucial to Washington’s third-ranked rushing offense. Although both were cleared to play this week, it’s not clear who will get a bigger workload against the Browns.
So, which back can fantasy managers trust? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on Injury Report Live:
- The Browns defense has been good, but not dominant (11th in yards allowed), so Meghan thinks Jayden Daniels ($6,800) will have a solid day passing the football. That wouldn’t be ideal for Robinson Jr., who gets most of his work on the ground (eight catches in four games).
- Steve liked what he saw from third-string running back Jeremy McNichols ($4,600), who had 68 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries last week. With such a cheap price, he could deliver plenty of value.
- Both are fading Ekeler, who has had a dramatic fantasy fall-off over the past two seasons.
