My probl‘em is ESPN won’t put the “IR” next to his name so he’s not eligible for IR in my league despite not being able to play four weeks. Frustrating.
VikingFrog

He’s sitting in an IR spot on my espn league.
Maybe your league settings are different.

Not sure how that's possible. He's the definition of someone who should be on the IR in fantasy. What's the spot for, someone out the entire year?

I thought I had the same issue....but did you find the "Manage I.R." tab on the top right of one your pages? I was able to toss this joker in there.

That doesn't look like ready to roll by week 5 movement to me.

Probably not going to be rolling full speed on week 5 but hopefully he is ready to go fully by week 7.

What are we expecting from this cat with the Commanders O not looking so good?

Robinson should get most of the carries once he's fully back. It may be a slow 1-2 weeks as he works back in, but Antonio Gibson is a horrible RB. He's an elite athlete, but a horrible RB. By week 7 they will be using Robinson as much as possible. Problem is, behind that OL it's probably max 70 yards per game and a TD every 3 games.

Im in the same boat and have Gibson. So may be rostering two duds.

I drafted him and put him immediately on IR. The other day I was thinking about who I would have to drop when he came off IR, and then, lucky me, Javonte blew his knee out.
Obviously you can't start him the first game back. We'll have to see how he gets integrated into the offense. I imagine best case it will take a couple weeks before he's trustable as a starter. Let's not forget the guys is a) a rookie and b) coming off a really traumatic injury
skinsrule05
Footballguy
Is the second part accurate? I don't know much about his injury other than he got out of the hospital very quickly. Because of that, it is hard to think it was "really traumatic".
ignatiusjreilly
Footballguy
Oh, I meant emotionally traumatic. Like you, I don't know the physical specifics. Maybe that was the wrong word. I mostly just meant it's not like he's coming off a suspension a la Hopkins
FairWarning
Footballguy
I probably will start him over Pollard and hope he finds the EZ.

Think he can be Damien Harris lite or 2.0 in this offense, especially if he gets receptions.

One thing in Robinson's favor will be the emotional factor - EVERYBODY will be pulling for him since what happened to him was so awful. I think his teammates would run through a brick wall for him. It reminds me of Tedy Bruschi's love fest when he came back after his stroke.

TN...29th worst defense overall and almost 5 ypc
@ Chicago...Over 5 yds a clip
GB...decent defense but again give up 5 ypc

@ PHI...5 yds a clip not kidding

ATL...28th Overall defense

Spoiler alert: not faster than a speeding bullet

FYI...
Riggins(1st), Stephen Davis(4th), Alfred Morris(5th), 3 of the Top 5all time leading rushers in Washington team history.
i don't consider any of them fast, sometimes it's not about speed but the ability and vision to find the holes that aren't always drawn up in the playbook.

You might have missed his point, but you bring up a good one yourself.

How much does Gibson keep him from? Seem's Gibson has been held back due to Washington's O sucking with Wince.
Ministry of Pain

Awesome, let's discuss and thanks for opening the conversation up.
He wasn't rated high coming out of college but I watched him play often and thought he handled things well. I know he was not the most talented RB that has passed thru Alabama and it took him a long time to be the starting RB but a byproduct if that is perhaps a smarter RB. Damien Harris is not the fastest of guys but he plays RB very well and I'm going to regret exchanging him for Stevenson, the Green Bay game really opened my eyes to some of the many things he does that don't involve his 40 time.
One of my favorite all time RBs was Chris Johnson, raw speed. Portis was similar when he was at Denver. I understand the importance of speed and what it can do to create explosive plays.
I also think there are other RBs that excel by using a combination of other skills to overcome their lack of being the fastest guy on the field all the time.
I think I might have missed it but I thought it was insinuating that BRob won't be very exciting and I have a more optimistic approach. There is a pretty decent passing game with 3 WRs that help spread defenses out. I think he might have more holes to scamper thru than many realize right now. The team is already 1-3, going to feel like a reboot for them on offense and what they were building around during camp.
Or I'll just come in here and post "I was wrong" and move on
I agree that he sin't fast but I hope he can benefit from passes to WRs that fall short of the end zone and need a little push to make them a TD.
35 catches his Senior Year, that's pretty good for a RB, he might be useful in the passing game.
I like that many think he is the auto starter when he suits up, that's hard to find right now.
Lot of reasons have me optimistic right now

Something is going to have to change for Carson to be a threat here, he has looked BAD more often than not. I wonder if teams load up to stop the run and "dare" Wentz (Wince so far) to pass the ball hoping for more INTs?
I have Robinson and hope he turns this O around with his play, but in his absense a pretty good Gibson wasn't able to.

Thing is that teams have not had to and have been getting pressure with just a 4 man rush

As far as him as a RB he is one of my favorites in this class. He looks like a guy who can get you the tough yardage, protect your QB, catch the football, and he is a heck of a runner IMO. No, he does not possess blazing speed. He does seem to have very quick feet for a big man though and has those subtle moves that will allow him to gain extra yardage. Chubb has that type of skill set (albeit on another level with more long speed). Rivera will love this kid. Once he is in the game he will not like taking him out for the current options they have on the roster. He seems like a well rounded running back who a coach will be able to rely. Of course he is a rookie so there is that, but if preseason was an indication of things the coaching staff wants him on the field.

In that order but I'd make room for both singletary and Robinson

I was thinking Superman, I see where I fell thru the bottom of the floor here.
That's OK, I can help myself up, thanks!

Agree with the order. I think Atlanta is a mess with Allegier, Guntley and D.Williams while C.Patt is out, maybe even after he returns

Yes. Though it sounds like they will activate him this week.
