Alright, folks, let’s talk about Brian Robinson Jr. and what we can expect from him in fantasy football this year. I’ve been digging into his stats and the latest news, and here’s what I’ve found after hours of research.
First, I looked into his performance from last year. The guy was RB25 in fantasy points per game. Not too shabby, right? He’s also 25th in opportunity share and 19th in red zone touches. So, he’s getting his chances, especially near the end zone.
Then, I started comparing him to other running backs. I checked out 65 of them, just to get a good sample size. Robinson ranks 15th in explosive run rate. That means when he gets going, he really gets going. However, he’s only 36th in missed tackles forced per attempt. He is a big back and runs hard but he is not a tackle breaker.
Now, about drafting him. I spent a good chunk of time thinking about where he should go in drafts. Based on what I’ve seen, if he’s still available in the fifth or sixth round, you might want to consider grabbing him. He’s got the potential to be a solid contributor to your team.
I also saw some buzz about Austin Ekeler joining the Washington Commanders. Some people think this might hurt Robinson’s value. I read through a bunch of expert opinions, and the consensus seems to be that Ekeler’s arrival could indeed affect Robinson’s touches. After that, I looked at his college days. Played for Alabama Crimson Tide, which, you know, is a big deal.
After all this, I decided to come up with a draft strategy. In full PPR leagues, I’d be okay with taking Robinson starting in Round 9. He could be a decent RB3 or flex option. He did finish as the RB21 overall last season so he could even produce like a starter.
Lastly, I wanted to get a feel for his current situation. I checked the latest news, his fantasy ADP (Average Draft Position), and his overall outlook. Everything seems to be up-to-date, and he’s healthy, which is always good news.
So, that’s my deep dive into Brian Robinson Jr. It took a while, but I wanted to make sure I had all the information before sharing my thoughts. Hope this helps you all make some informed decisions for your fantasy drafts!
