Factoid: Washington running backs

Washington hosts Chicago tomorrow night, and I'll definitely be starting Brian Robinson. He's been playing well anyway, and with a little more involvement as a receiver. And the Bears don't seem to cover running backs well. At all.   more »

Around the NFL: Antonio Gibson

There's a story out talking about Antonio Gibson. The Commanders running back, it seems, has been impressing at OTAs with his receiving ability. This is not exactly surprising, given that Gibson was a wide receiver in college, but it's something to pay particular attention to given the team's current depth chart and new offensive coordinator.   more »

Commanders RB Gibson to have role in 2023

The Washington Commanders drafted running back BRIAN ROBINSON last year and eventually installed him as the starting rusher last season. The Commanders drafted another rookie in sixth round running back CHRISMore RODRIGUEZ this year, but head coach Ron Rivera insists that fellow rusher ANTONIO GIBSON will still have a role in 2023. Rivera noted Gibson’s receiving experience coming out of college, as well as the fact that “every nine touches resulted in a touchdown” last year. Time will tell how new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy fits Gibson into the offense. Less

Commanders place RB Gibson in injured reserve

The Washington Commanders announced on Thursday that running back ANTONIO GIBSON has been placed on injured reserve with foot and knee injuries. Fellow running back BRIAN ROBINSON missed another practice onMore Thursday as he continues to deal with a knee injury.

Washington Commanders running back ANTONIO GIBSON started the offseason atop the backfield depth chart before last season’s fumbling issues returned and rookie rusher BRIAN ROBINSON claimed the top spot.

Around the NFL: Washington Commanders

Life moves pretty fast. A day ago Washington Commanders rookie Brian Robinson looked like a starting NFL running back in Week 1. Today his health is very much in doubt after an attempted robbery or carjacking that left him in the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds.   more »

Commanders RB battle heats up

Washington Commanders third-round rookie running back BRIAN ROBINSON started in the backfield in Saturday’s preseason game against Kansas City. While Robinson’s performance wasn’t particularly noteworthy (8 carries for 31 yards), heMore continues to outperform presumed starter ANTONIO GIBSON.

Around the NFL: Brian Robinson

Not a lot of positive talk around Antonio Gibson lately. Talented guy, but Washington sounds like it could be lightening his workload some, for various reasons. Which has me intrigued by third-rounder Brian Robinson.   more »

Commanders RB Gibson struggles in preseason opener

Washington Commanders running back ANTONIO GIBSON could not have gotten off to a worse start in the team’s preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. On the offense’s second drive, Gibson tookMore an inside handoff and proceeded to fumble on his way to the ground. Gibson led all running backs with 6 fumbles (4 lost) last season and appears to be picking up where he left off. Meanwhile, rookie third-round running back BRIAN ROBINSON JR. had a nice game running and catching the ball out of the backfield to go along with a rushing touchdown. Less

Around the NFL: Brian Robinson

A recent news item speculates that Washington might be looking at third-round running back Brian Robinson in a short-yardage or goal-line capacity. It makes some sense, and is also a reason for concern when selecting Antonio Gibson.   more »

Factoid: J.D. McKissic

I have interest in J.D. McKissic this week. He’s a good pass-catching back, and I think he’s going to play a big role at Green Bay.  more »

Washington RB Gibson looks good in team minicamp

Washington running back ANTONIO GIBSON admitted recently that he is still receiving treatment on a turf toe injury from the end of the 2020 season. Fast forward to last week’s teamMore minicamp and Gibson likely eased the minds of fantasy owners. Gibson participated in the camp and had his usual bounce and quickness back. While the toe will be something to monitor leading up to draft day, it appears as though Gibson will be ready to roll in 2021. Less
