2. Brian Robinson Jr., Washington Commanders

Brian Robinson made his triumphant return two weeks ago, and has already risen to the top of the depth chart in Washington. Last week, he saw starter-level volume, rushing 17 times for 60 yards and a touchdown. Expect that usage to continue moving forward.

Robinson takes on a lowly Green Bay Packers run defense, allowing 135 yards per game — the sixth-most in the league. He’s a mid-tier RB2 this week in all formats.

1. Kenyan Drake, Baltimore Ravens

With J.K. Dobbins now missing multiple weeks after reaggravating his knee injury, Kenyan Drake will have at least a week to have the backfield to himself before the likely return of Gus Edwards to the PUP list. His impressive Week 6 performance likely earned him a chance to be the bellcow this week.

Drake takes on the Cleveland Brown’s 24th-ranked run defense, and he should have a solid workload this week as Baltimore’s lead back. He’s a worthy flex start and DFS play this week.
