Austin Ekeler just told us on Grant & Danny that he is tracking toward being able to play on Sunday.

Ekeler missed Week 4 but it sounds like he expects to be back on the field against the Browns. The post went on to say Ekeler said he's feeling more like himself as he completes the steps of the concussion protocol. The return of Ekeler likely means less work for McNichols who had a great game in Week 4 in Arizona.

Dan Quinn said RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is OUT for Sunday’s game in Arizona.

Hopefully this will just be one week while Ekeler works through the protocol. Robinson has to be considered a high-end RB2 while his teammate is sidelined. No need to start McNichols anywhere.

Dan Quinn said Austin Ekeler went back to Virginia to treat his concussion. Also suffered a laceration in his ear. Quinn said he'll know more later in the week.

The Commanders are heading right to Arizona for a Week 4 game against the Cardinals instead of going back to Washington, according to reports. It's unclear if Ekeler would have cleared, or could still clear protocol. We may know more during the week, but owners should probably prepare to not have Ekeler for Week 4, which is a later afternoon game. Robinson should lead the way at RB with McNichols perhaps getting more touches if Ekeler doesn't play.

Ekeler will likely land in protocol making his availability in question for Week 4, which is an away game in Arizona in the later window of Sunday's action. Robinson should see a bigger role if Ekeler can't go, and in Week 3, McNichols did see one carry and could end up with some touches if Ekeler has to miss Week 4.

Veteran RB Austin Ekeler is signing with the Commanders on a two-year deal worth up to $11.43 million.

The Brian Robinson bellcow role lasted about two hours, but the Commanders backs have company now. Ekeler had clearly lost a step last season, but a veteran pass-catching presence in the backfield will be an obvious plus. Ekeler should carve out a role that puts him in RB2 conversation, while Robinson holds onto a goal-line role that makes him almost as fantasy viable.

Former Commanders' running back Antonio Gibson is expected to join the Patriots.

The Patriots backfield looks like it's going to be an absolute nightmare for fantasy purposes, as part of one of the worst offenses in the league. Gibson shouldn't be more than a late-round dart.

This should leave Brian Robinson as the bellcow in Washington.

The Commanders placed RB Chris Rodriguez Jr (ankle) on IR. Ends his season early.

After a key injury to Brian Robinson, we got to see a little bit more of the rookie, including a two-touchdown in Week 16, which was nice for dynasty owners who took a stab in rookie drafts. There's a chance that Antonio Gibson gets a huge workload ahead of a touch matchup against the 49ers in Week 17.

Chris Rodriguez took a surprising amount of early-down work last week, and should have a decent RB3 role, particularly in Standard or point-per-carry leagues. Gibson should maintain the pass-catching role and be an asset in half-PPR leagues as an RB3 in his own right.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is out Sunday vs. the Rams.

This is shaping up as a good week for Antonio Gibson has an RB2, while Chris Rodriguez can be considered a desperation FLEX play with some touchdown equity in a game that has the potential to be a shootout.

Not looking good for Robinson's Week 15 availability, as his injury came halfway through the team's Week 13 game, immediately before their bye week. GIbson logged 14 opportunities for 72 total yards two weeks ago, and would figure to be the RB1 once again, presenting a solid fantasy floor against the Rams.
