2023 Fantasy Outlook
In 2022 Washington entertained the theory that their years of poor offensive results were due to failures by Antonio Gibson, and they committed to that theory by feeding Robinson carries for 12 games. The results didn't get any better for the offense, and coordinator Scott Turner has since been fired, so it's not clear how committed to Robinson the Commanders might be at this point. Robinson holds on to the ball and always keeps an anchor as a runner, but he struggles to dodge defenders or create yardage after contact and won't run away from anyone. New OC Eric Bieniemy holds the keys to the Washington offense, so Robinson's fantasy value going forward largely depends on whether Bieniemy prefers Robinson over Gibson and rookie sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez. Robinson was gifted rushing volume against a weak schedule in 2022 and still got nowhere near the production demonstrated by Gibson as a rookie, while Rodriguez was a more explosive runner in the SEC at Kentucky (6.2 YPC, 33 touchdowns) than Robinson was at Alabama (5.0 YPC, 29 touchdowns).

Healthy for OTAs
Robinson (knee) is participating in OTAs without any apparent limitations, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson missed Week 18 of his rookie season with a knee injury, but it may not have had any impact on his offseason plan given that the team never reported that the required surgery. The 2022 third-round pick had an eventful debut campaign, missing the first four games after he was the victim of a shooting before he returned to average 17.1 carries for 66.6 yards (3.9 YPC) over the next 12 games. He caught only nine passes and scored only three times, but Robinson and Antonio Gibson could be headed for similar-sized roles under new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, whose backfield at the start of OTAs consists of four holdovers from the 2022 Commanders (Robinson, Gibson, Jaret Patterson, Jonathan Williams) in addition to rookie sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Alabama has churned out a number of productive NFL running backs in recent years, but
Robinson could have a hard time living up to the standard set by Josh Jacobs and Damien
Harris, much less Najee Harris and Derrick Henry. The third-round rookie is big and strong enough to
handle a large workload, but his upright running style invites contact and he doesn't have the
speed or elusiveness to avoid many tacklers. With the Commanders, the 6-foot-1, 228-pounder initially was expected to take some short-yardage work away from returnee Antonio Gibson and possibly push for a key early-down role, but his NFL regular season debut is on hold after he was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List on Sept. 1, as Robinson is recovering from wounds suffered during a robbery attempt. As a result, rookie back will miss at least the first four games of the season, with a timetable for his return yet to be determined.
