Brian Robinson Jr. injury update: DNP Thursday with hamstring

Brian Robinson Jr. missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury after being limited in the first practice of the week.

By Cole Hartwell

Brian Robinson Jr. was not on the practice field Thursday because of a hamstring injury, according to Yahoo Sports.

The Falcons running back had been a limited participant in the first practice of the week, according to Yahoo Sports. A missed practice now puts his availability for Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers in question.

What happened

Robinson did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 22, Yahoo Sports reported. He was limited in the first practice of the week with the hamstring issue.

Context

Robinson has played six games this season for Atlanta. He has 53 carries for 211 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. As a receiver, he has five catches for 30 yards on six targets. His 53.1 PPR points through Week 6 average out to 8.8 points per game.

In Week 6, Robinson had two carries for one yard and two catches for nine yards. In Week 4, he rushed 14 times for 62 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-24 win over the Saints.

Sleeper currently tags him as questionable with a hamstring injury, but that designation has not been confirmed by the team for Sunday’s game.

Depth chart

Bijan Robinson is Atlanta’s RB1 and has been the workhorse, totaling 641 rushing yards on 111 carries with four touchdowns through six games. Trey Sermon is listed as RB3 and is on injured reserve, according to Sleeper.

What’s next

Atlanta hosts the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, October 25. Robinson will likely see a limited workload if he plays, according to Yahoo Sports.

Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) doesn't practice Thursday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Robinson’s missed practice Thursday makes him a risky play for Week 7. With 8.8 PPR points per game and a Sleeper projection of just 5.1 points, he was already a marginal flex option, and a hamstring issue increases the risk of a limited snap count or being inactive. If he is active, he likely cedes work to Bijan Robinson, who is projected for 22.7 PPR points and has dominated touches (111 carries, 641 rushing yards). Trey Sermon is on injured reserve and not a factor. Consider benching Robinson and looking for a healthier alternative with a clearer role. If you need a dart throw, leave Robinson on your bench or drop him in redraft leagues where better options exist. Sit Brian Robinson Jr. in Week 7 unless we see him practice fully on Friday.
