Brian Robinson

Robinson now has eight rushing attempts in each of the Niners' past three games, playing the breather back role behind Christian McCaffrey, who handled 24 touches on Sunday against Cleveland.

It was an ugly game for both teams in windy Cleveland, and McCaffrey was able to grind out a decent statistical day against the elite Browns defense thanks to his role as the centerpiece of the run-first San Francisco offense. McCaffrey scored on a goal line carry in the first half and ceded some backfield action to Brian Robinson (eight rushes for 26 yards) in the second half. CMC had four targets as Brock Purdy was limited to just 29 throws. McCaffrey and the Niners have their bye in Week 14 before facing the Titans in Week 15.

No one can complain about Christian McCaffrey's fantasy output after he racked up 3 TDs (two rushing, one receiving) in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. But it's worth noting that he's ceding rushing work to No. 2 RB Brian Robinson Jr. That included garnering eight carries for 24 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Robinson continues to work behind McCaffrey, spelling him for a few touches a game. Despite the blowout, Robinson still only got eight touches to McCaffrey's 18 touches. His role is that of premium handcuff for now, with touchdown-dependent FLEX value in deep leagues. Robinson will need a touchdown to reach fantasy relevance for Week 12 against the Panthers.
