Brian Robinson Jr. 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Becomes Valuable Handcuff with Trade to San Francisco
The Washington Commanders traded Brian Robinson to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round pick on August 22. With the trade to the 49ers, Robinson becomes one of the more valuable handcuffs in fantasy as he will likely back up star running back Christian McCaffrey. "BRob" finished as the RB23 in points per game. Through Week 5, Robinson was the RB7 overall, ahead of stars such as Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Jonathan Taylor. Knee and hamstring injuries caused Robinson to miss some time. From Week 7 on, in the games Robinson was active, he logged just 50% or more snaps, and scored a respectable 11.6 points per game in half-PPR formats. Robinson may sit outside the top 30 in evaded tackles, juke rate, and routes run, but his role remains secure in a growing offense led by an elite quarterback. The former Alabama bruiser should provide consistent production for teams that are looking to acquire high-floor flex options in later rounds. With the move to San Francisco, Robinson is ranked RB44 and will compete with Isaac Guerendo to be CMC's primary backup.
