News: 8 hours agoRobinson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Spin: After missing the last two games due to a lingering hamstring injury, Robinson will be back in action Week 11. His full participation in practice Wednesday indicates that he has a decent chance to retain his position as Washington's primary runner, but Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez all will be on hand for reps, too. In seven contests this season, Robinson is averaging 15.7 touches for 77.1 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six times on the ground.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Robinson returns as Washington's lead rusher. Robinson started 15 games for the Commanders in 2023, averaging 13.2 fantasy points per game, the same figure as his new backfield competition, veteran Austin Ekeler. One man's emergence can equal another's downfall. Adding Ekeler hardly means Robinson loses all fantasy value, though. At 6-2, 230 pounds, the bruising Robinson may see extensive early down work and cede pass catching responsibilities, offering similar value. Even with Ekeler around, Robinson is talented enough to be a midround sleeper pick and RB3 choice.
