Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. lost a pair of fumbles in Sunday's win over the Eagles. The first came on the team's second possession, and then Robinson logged just 1 touch over Washington's next two drives. After his second fumble -- early in the second quarter -- RB Chris Rodriguez saw his first action on the ensuing drive. Robinson did return again and finished the game as Washington's lead back. He still played 42 snaps to 19 for Jeremy McNichols and 7 for Rodriguez. Robinson logged just 10 carries for 24 yards and a 2-17 receiving line on 3 targets.
Robinson entered the game with no fumbles this season, so it made sense for Washington to go back to him.
Expect the Commanders to stick with Robinson as the lead back for a Week 17 home date with the Falcons.
Atlanta's been a negative matchup for RB scoring by adjusted fantasy points allowed. But the Falcons also hit Week 16 ranked just 20th in rush-defense DVOA.
RB Austin Ekeler still won't be eligible to return from IR until Week 18.
