Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 12 times for 40 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 49 yards in a 37-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaners in Week 1.
Link to story Commanders | Jayden Daniels runs for two scores Sun Sep 8, 09:38 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 17 of his 24 passes for 184 yards and rushed 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Daniels became the first rookie QB all-time with 50-plus rush yards in a Week 1 debut. He set a Commanders QB record with 16 carries and had the 4th-most rushing yards by a Commanders QB all-time. The big issue is other than Daniels using his legs, the offense came up short. NFL.com noted that running backs Austin Ekeler (4/52) and Brian Robinson (3/49) led Washington in receiving, underscoring the types of passes Daniels was throwing. The rookie completed just one pass of 10-plus-air yards and only attempted four. It was surprising that Washington didn't air it out more. We'll see if there's more emphasis on that heading into next week's game against the Giants. |

Link to story Commanders | Austin Ekeler reliable in passing game Thu Sep 5, 08:05 AM
Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler has caught more than 50 passes in each of the last five seasons, and he has averaged 74.8 receptions per year in that span.
| Footballguys view: Ekeler is going to split time in the Commanders' backfield with Brian Robinson, and we'll see how things work out between the two. Robinson is a powerful runner between the tackles, and Ekeler is best used in space. Both are also good receiving options out of the backfield. That means Ekeler is more of an RB3/flex play option for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. will lead the backfield this season, according to offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. 'He's a No. 1 back in this league, there's no doubt,' Kingsbury said.
| Footballguys view: Robinson can do quite a bit on the ground and as a receiver for the Commanders. It will be interesting to see how they mix Austin Ekeler into the backfield. We like Robinson as an RB2/flex play |
Commanders | Dyami Brown set to start? Sat Aug 31, 09:14 AM
Washington Commanders WR Dyami Brown is 'a lock' to be one of the starting outside receivers to begin the season, according to Ben Solak of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This offense has explosive potential, especially with QB Jayden Daniels. Brown can take the top off the defense, so he could be a sleeper 'what the heck' flex for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Link to story Commanders | Kazmeir Allen taking reps at running back Thu Aug 22, 03:09 PM
Washington Commanders WR Kazmeir Allen began to take some reps at running back last week in an effort to take advantage of his 'explosive' traits that remind some on the team of Deebo Samuel, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Allen was an intriguing undrafted free agent addition for the Commanders. In a Kliff Kingsbury offense, Allen could find a spot on the practice squad because of his athleticism and run-after-the-catch ability. He's only 175 pounds, so he's no Samuel, but Allen is tough to line up for a tackle in the open field due to his quickness. |

Quinn has said Daniels has a mix of "humility and swagger."
