Brian Robinson Jr. Out for Week 6

[Mike FF Today 721]

He missed practice all week with a knee issue. Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols should be the top two RBs...

Picked up Ekeler last week for an emergency/flex back. Was thinking about plugging him in for Stevenson at flex....now I'll plug him in for Taylor & run Chase Brown at flex

Anyone know much about this McNichols? I think Ekeler is done, and if this knee injury keeps bothering Robinson, he might be some to take a flyer on.

Is that where he got shot? The knee?

Ekeler has averaged 11pts per week over the 4 games he played. He's the pass catching back, not McNichols. He's averaging 7.9 yds per carry, 13.7 per reception. Not quite done

Baltimore has a good run defense & will probably get up on this game, forcing Washington to throw. I'd say Ekeler is the play here.

That I don’t know, but Robinson was a GTD last week, and did play a little, from what I’ve read, he hurt his knee again in last weeks game. 

Im not interested in Ekeler, but this McNicoles guy I might be on my non ppr team.

Might be.  Good luck.  Really just asking about the other guy McNichols, who  has look pretty sharp, plus two rushing tds.  Might be a player for me to keep an eye on for next week.

Ps I do own Robinson on both of my teams, non, and ppr.  So thats why the interest.

I looked it up, he did get shot in the knee...

That could be a problem

He's d done most of his damage when they are up big & they can afford to give Robinson a rest. He's not a Tank or Chase Brown.....he won't force a bigger timeshare. He's a good back but only worth a roster spot in deep leagues unless Robinson is hurt.

Is knee is already a problem, but if it’s the same knee, could be a bigger issue. I agree.

Appreciate the update about him, just in case Robinson knee issues worsen, always what options in ff.  Thanks

Yep, a bit more research, same knee, right knee...

That’s not good news for Mr Robinson.

fair bet.

Baltimore has underachieved this year, but I cant see them falling behind Washington.   they will be playing with a lead at halftime and from that point on it will be mostly a passing day.

this plays to Ekelers skillset even if Robinson plays. (which he isnt)

No it's not. He got shot in the right knee and glute.

Outside of hitting vital organs or something more serious like that, I can't think of a worse place for a RB to get shot than the knee and rear end.
