Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) and Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) both left the field Sunday.

Stevenson was injured on a hip-drop tackle against the Chargers, a tackle the NFL may look to ban next offseason and the tackle that took out Ravens TE Mark Andrews. The Patriots were shutout 6-0 by the Chargers to fall to 2-10 on the year. Robinson left the game against the Dolphins in the second quarter after seven rushes for 53 yards, which still led the team in their 45-15 loss to Miami to fall to 4-9.

Commanders RB Antonio Gibson, a game-time decision and questionable with a toe injury, is active today. A boost for Washington.

This limits Robinson's ceiling, particularly in the passing game. He should remain a low-end RB2, as Gibson can be plugged into desperate FLEX positions.

Per Nicki; "RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is not out here."

It kinda seemed like Robinson was in the Antonio Gibson role last Sunday, as he ran 19 routes to Gibson's 22 as both received six targets. Robinson also took one 51-yards for a touchdown. Rodriguez would assuredly get more run if Gibson misses, but not enough to plug him into a lineup.

Commanders ruled out RB Antonio Gibson for the New Year’s Day matchup vs. the Browns.

This should be the Brian Robinson show on Sunday, as he becomes an RB2 with definite high-RB1 upside.

RB Antonio Gibson (sprained ankle/knee) is not practicing today.

This could impact Brian Robinson's ceiling, but hopefully you weren't planning on playing Gibson in your Championship matchups. He hasn't scored double-digit PPR points or hit 40 yards rushing since Week 11. Robinson remains a solid RB 2 against the porous Browns rushing defense.

Ron Rivera: "Antonio Gibson has a sprain, so we're going to have to monitor that very closely this week."

As the tweet said, no location of the sprain was given, leaving us all wondering if it's a knee, ankle, perhaps shoulder? Either way, Robinson looks like he could be in store for a heavy workload against the Browns in Week 17, in what is also a good matchup. He's a potential nice start at RB in your fantasy finals.

Per Nicki, J.D. McKissic was not at Commanders practice on Thursday, which makes him questionable for Week 11.

Though McKissic is almost purely a third-down back, his absence in Week 10 essentially meant Antonio Gibson (40) and Brian Robinson (43) split RB snaps right down the middle. Another week of that would be just fine in fantasy terms; both options would be RB2 material ahead of a matchup against the Texans' porous run defense.

Commanders head coach Ron Rivera walked into the media room and immediately said: "We have no intention of moving Antonio Gibson." Said he was disappointed that it was reported they were taking calls. Added, they like their running back room.

Of course, this could be all coach speak, but we won't know for sure until the trade deadline comes and passes. Gibson could be a great asset to a number of teams, and clearing the way for a Brian Robinson/J.D. McKissic pairing could be incredibly valuable in fantasy. As it stands, Gibson and Robinson could be thought of Flex plays in Week 9 against the Colts.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson will start and be the team’s lead back tonight against the Bears. Robinson made his NFL debut Sunday, logging 18 snaps. He’ll see more action against Chicago after proving he’s back from two gunshot wounds in August.

In limited Week 5 action, Robinson out-carried teammate Antonio Gibson 9-to-3 but wasn't involved in the passing game at all. This backfield is now a mess for fantasy purposes, but this is an incredible turnaround for the rookie. All three backfield options can be under consideration for your Flex position but none of them should give you great confidence.

With this team there are so many variables, including how often it gets down in games, forcing it to rely more on the pass.

The story said the Commanders want Robinson to carry the ball, but we just haven't seen enough to know if he'll be the top fantasy option in the backfield. The offensive line is not great, so it will depend how the flow of the game is going. The blurb added Gibson could get in the range of 10-12 touches a game and be the dynamic back with McKissic the third down option. It's certainly a crowded backfield right now, and it probably needs some time to sort out for fantasy owners.
