Washington Commanders Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Commanders Edge Dorance Armstrong left Sunday's loss to the Ravens early with a rib injury and did not return. We'll watch for details on his status ahead of a Week 7 home date with the Panthers.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He seemingly suffered a setback trying to play through this knee injury last weekend and didn't practice at all this week. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 7's meeting with the Panthers.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that it'll be an "uphill battle" for Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) to play against the Ravens on Sunday. That's not a surprise after Robinson missed practice all week. Robinson is listed as questionable, and there's still "a little bit of hope" that he'll be able to play, per Fowler. But fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 6 fantasy lineups. Even if Robinson plays, he'll be a shaky bet at less than 100% in a tough matchup.

Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) was limited in practice all week but is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back, likely as Washington’s No. 2 WR, for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. Brown would be a desperation fantasy play.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. He didn’t practice all week – after not playing at all in the second half of last week’s game – but will be a game-time decision, according to HC Dan Quinn. We’ll get Washington’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Robinson owners should start lining up an alternative. He’ll be a shaky fantasy starter even if he ends up playing. If not, we’ll likely see RBs Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols share early-down work, with Ekeler handling passing situations. In the second half of Week 5, McNichols out-carried Ekeler six to four and Ekeler out-targeted McNichols one to 0. That game wasn’t competitive, though, so we’d project a bit more work for Ekeler if Robinson ends up sitting.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this injury last week, although he didn't record a touch in the second half. HC Dan Quinn said he was protecting his player in game that was never in question in the second half. Robinson figures to play vs. the Ravens on Sunday, but he likely won't be at 100%.

Niners WR Deebo Samuel made just one catch (for 11 yards) and rushed for only 9 yards on 3 carries in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson rushed only 7 times for 18 yards in Sunday's win over Cleveland. He scored a pair of goal line TDs to save his fantasy day.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% today. Still, Robinson lands in RB2 territory in the Week 5 Rankings.

A source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is "good to go" for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Robinson only got in a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable, so it's safe to assume he won't be at 100% for this one. Robinson will also be contending with the return of RB Austin Ekeler. See where Robinson lands in our Week 5 RB Rankings.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. “He’s trending in the right way, and we’ll take it all the way to game day,” HC Dan Quinn said Friday. “But he’s doing great.” We’re tentatively expecting Robinson to play but will get Washington’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report.

Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He ranked second among the team's WRs in routes each of the last two weeks. Brown's absence will mean more playing time for some combination of WRs Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus. None is a legitimate Week 5 fantasy option.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Browns is now in real question. We'll update Robinson's status again tomorrow. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) upgraded to full participation on Thursday and is on track to play against Cleveland.

Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. It looks like he suffered a groin injury on Wednesday and is now in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Brown has emerged as Washington's No. 2 WR in terms of routes but hasn't done enough to become a fantasy option yet.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to come out of the Week 4 win over the Cardinals ok, so this could just be some early-week rest after handling 24 touches in that one. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) was limited on Wednesday. He still has work to do to clear protocol but is likely to make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. We'll keep you updated on Washington's backfield over the next few days. Deep-leaguers could stash RB Jeremy McNichols in case Robinson or Ekeler miss this weekend's game.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel returned from a calf injury to record 3 catches for 58 yards against New England. He added two carries and didn’t have his routes or snaps limited.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels stayed hot in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. The rookie completed 26-of-30 passes for 233 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. He's now up to an 82.1% completion rate through four games -- a record to start an NFL career (min. 75 attempts).

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday – and we haven’t heard anything about a snap count for him today. There’s some risk of an in-game aggravation of his calf injury, but Samuel checks in as a risk/reward WR2 in the Week 4 Rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. It's a slight surprise after HC Kyle Shanahan said previously that Samuel was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Samuel got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, though, and will evidently suit up today. There's always some risk of an in-game aggravation of soft-tissue injuries, but unless we get a report of Samuel being limited today, he belongs in most fantasy lineups. His return -- along with TE George Kittle's -- makes Week 3 breakout Jauan Jennings tough to trust in fantasy lineups this week.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Samuel was originally expected to miss a couple of weeks with his calf injury, so we’re still projecting him to miss this game. But we’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get San Francisco’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.
