Unchallenged in lead role this week Robinson should have expanded usage Sunday with Antonio Gibson (knee) unavailable against the Browns, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson was ruled out Friday after missing practice throughout the week. He'd taken a backseat to Robinson in recent weeks anyway, but this could open the door for the rookie to play more snaps and draw more targets. He's averaged 18.1 carries for 76.4 yards over the past seven games, starting each week, but with only 1.0 catch for 6.7 yards on 1.3 targets per game. Touchdowns also have been an issue with Robinson scoring only two from 582 total yards during that seven-game stretch, though that part is less about Gibson, who has only one TD (and 379 total yards) in the same span. Jonathan Williams and Jaret Patterson are the depth options behind Robinson for Week 17.

Bottled up in tough matchup Robinson ran for 58 yards on 22 carries and failed to haul in his lone target in Saturday's 37-20 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Robinson was met with brick walls on seemingly every one of his 22 carries (second-highest total this year) against San Francisco's stout front seven Saturday. Backup Antonio Gibson managed just 10 rushing yards on five carries, so the pecking order in Washington's backfield should remain unchanged after an overall down performance from the group. Robinson will attempt to resume his strong rookie campaign against the Browns' porous rushing defense next Sunday (134.3 rushing yards allowed per game).

Hits century mark in total yards Robinson had 12 carries for 89 yards and caught his lone target for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.

Impact Robinson came out of Washington's bye week and posted a nearly identical line to his last game against these same Giants back in Week 13. The 2022 third-round selection continued to outproduce and out-touch veteran Antonio Gibson (5/21/0), further establishing himself as the Commanders' lead back and preferred fantasy option. Robinson has hit the century mark in total yards in three consecutive weeks, with his lack of touchdowns -- three through 10 games -- being the only blemish on a strong rookie campaign. All of Washington's position players should take slight projection hits with a tough matchup looming against San Francisco's elite defense Saturday.

Cleared to play in Week 15 Robinson (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Robinson was limited in all three of Washington's practices coming out of the Week 14 bye, but that won't keep him from playing in the pivotal Week 15 showdown with the Giants. The rookie running back rushed for 96 yards on 15 carries and caught both of his targets for 15 yards against the same opponent in Washington's previous game.

Another limited practice Robinson (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Both Robinson and Antonio Gibson (foot) have logged back-to-back capped sessions this week following a Week 14 bye. Robinson entered the Commanders' in-season respite having recorded between 15 and 26 touches for five consecutive games, including 23 touches for 111 yards from scrimmage in the team's last contest two weeks ago against the Giants, who just so happen to be his opponent this Sunday.

Limited with quad injury Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday with a quadriceps injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antonio Gibson (foot) also was listed as limited on Washington's first practice report after a Week 14 bye. Both running backs appear on track to play Sunday against the Giants, with Robinson the favorite to get more carries after running 39 times for 201 yards between Weeks 12 and 13. That included a 21-96-0 rushing and 2-15-0 receiving line a couple weeks ago against the same Giants defense he'll face Sunday.

Impact The rookie once again helmed the backfield, out-carrying Antonio Gibson by a 12-tote margin while also tying his teammate with a pair of receptions, albeit on two fewer targets. Robinson's long run went for a modest 16 yards, so it was a grind-it-out type of effort for the Alabama product. Robinson now has 201 rushing yards on 39 carries in the last two games alone, seemingly affording him an unquestioned lead-back role going into the team's Week 14 bye.
