3 best Commanders fantasy football starts in Week 1 vs. Cardinals

Brian Robinson Jr. - Commanders RB

Last season, no one expected Brian Robinson Jr. to come and play football in 2022 like he did. The running back established himself as the bellcow for the Washington Commanders last season.

With many changes to the offense in 2023, Robinson has a chance to take advantage of every opportunity. If the Commanders' revamped offensive line improves, the former Alabama star should be able to rack up yards from scrimmage and be a red zone threat.

Even sharing time in the backfield with running mate Antiono Gibson, Robinson has proven capable of running with power and finesse. He wants to try his hand at pass-catching, but that job might go to his teammate since that is his natural position.

In most fantasy football drafts, Robinson has been a sleeper or a second-round selection with an ADP of 102.7. As a ninth or 10th-round pick in a 10-team league, also he can be used as a flexed option in certain matchups.

With his upside and explosiveness, he will get chance after chance to rack up points in most leagues. Despite the certain state running back value around the league, there are few who will provide the points and production that Robinson can bring,

If you are a fan of Robinson, then you will want to pick up this running back. With a lot of uncertainty in deeper leagues, he is an excellent choice.
