Meghan and Steve broke down the Commanders’ running back room on Injury Report Live ahead of their Week 6 clash in Baltimore.

Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley report on the latest injury news Injury report live! Check out what they think about this latest injury Brian Robinson Jr. (knee).

Although Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. played last week against the Browns, it’s a game-time decision this week against the Ravens. In a matchup with a Over/Under of 51.5 pointsEven a slightly broken BRJ would be of great value to fantasy managers. Should the RB sit out in the second year, veteran Austin Ekeler ($5,600) and journeyman Jeremy McNichols ($4,500) They are expected to handle most transports.

What can you expect from the Washington backfield this week? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) discussed it in detail in Friday’s edition of Injury report live:

  • Steve doesn’t think the Commanders trust Ekeler in the end zone; he has no goal line contact this year. McNichols has scored three touchdowns in his last two games.
  • However, that doesn’t necessarily mean McNichols has to start. Most of his work in recent weeks was created during the garbage season, when Washington was on the rise.
  • There is also danger Jayden Daniels ($7,300) let the ball run itself. In a game where the commanders could fall behind (Seven-point underdogs), there may not be many carriers.
