Brian Robinson Jr. Fantasy Stats

Across 13 games this season, San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has recorded 72 carries for 328 yards and two touchdowns. While the 26-year-old has been productive when given the opportunity in his first season in San Francisco, his playing time upside is capped by the presence of superstar 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Robinson Jr. has yet to play more than 18 offensive snaps or log double-digit carries in any game this season. However, as the fantasy playoffs approach, Robinson Jr. could be worth rostering as a premium handcuff option. He's averaging a career-best 4.6 yards per rush attempt this season and would immediately profile as a starting fantasy running back if McCaffrey were to miss time due to injury. In leagues with 12 or more teams, Robinson Jr. could be worth rostering and stashing through San Francisco's Week 14 bye.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s fantasy value faces a hard cap in his change-of-pace role behind Christian McCaffrey. With the offense flowing through McCaffrey to the tune of nearly 25 touches per game, on average, those changes of pace are few and far between. To his credit, Robinson has been effective when on the field, logging 4.7 yards per carry in 2025. In Week 13, the 49ers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns. With strong winds, rain, and snow in the forecast, San Francisco will likely lean into the run game, which could provide Robinson a few more opportunities than usual. He can be avoided in most formats, but could be of use in deep leagues on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s recent surge in production hit a snag in Week 11, but he could bounce back against a Carolina Panthers defense that has struggled against the run lately. In Weeks 9 and 10, Robinson scored touchdowns and posted his two highest rushing yard totals of 2025. He fell back to earth in Week 11, though, gaining 24 yards on eight carries in the 49ers' rout of the Cardinals. Despite his minimal role behind Christian McCaffrey, Robinson stands to benefit from the 49ers' upcoming matchup against the Panthers. Over the last four weeks, Carolina has given up 5.23 yards per carry to opposing running backs and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Robinson projects as an RB4 in Week 12 and has flex potential for fantasy football managers in a bind with four NFL teams on bye.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has turned the corner recently, posting consecutive RB2 finishes in the 49ers' last two games. Robinson's utilization in Week 10 and Week 11 was in line with past games, but with better results. Against the Giants and then the Rams, Robinson had his two highest rushing totals and scored a touchdown in each game. This trend has a good chance to continue in Week 11, when the 49ers face the Cardinals. Robinson saw just five snaps in the teams' last meeting in Week 3, but Arizona is coming off a game against Seattle where they allowed 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to the Seahawks' backfield. Limited on touches, only another trip to the end zone would make starting Robinson in fantasy lineups worthwhile. He projects as an RB4 in Week 11.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off his best two games since joining the team. Robinson handled eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 10's loss to the Rams, following his Week 9 performance against the Giants, where he had 53 yards and a touchdown on five carries. The 26-year-old finally found the end zone and has run well as the primary backup behind Christian McCaffrey this season. His 4.9 yards per carry would be the highest of his career over a full season, and he remains one of the premier handcuffs in fantasy. It's possible that the coaching staff lightens up McCaffrey's workload down the stretch to keep him fresh for a potential playoff run and gives Robinson a path to real standalone value. But if McCaffrey were to miss any time, Robinson would immediately slot in as a high-end RB2 in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. saw a limited workload in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, but was highly efficient in the loss. On the field for only 14 offensive snaps, Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Over the past two weeks, he has turned 13 carries into 94 yards and two scores. While not seeing nearly enough usage to be a reliable fantasy asset, Robinson remains one of the most important insurance backs in the league. Should Christian McCaffrey miss time or cede any work down the stretch, Robinson has proven more than capable in Kyle Shanahan's running back-friendly offense. Robinson should be rostered in all leagues for the league-winning upside he represents, but he's also proven that he has just enough standalone value to be plugged into the flex in a pinch.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a season-high 53 rushing yards and his first touchdown of the season in Week 9 against the Giants. The production gave him his first RB2 finish of 2025. Robinson is unlikely to repeat last week's success when the 49ers host the Rams on Sunday. For one, the opportunity for Robinson to produce consistently is not there. Operating as an infrequently used change-of-pace back behind Christian McCaffrey has resulted in an average of 10 offensive snaps and 4.6 rushing attempts per game. Secondly, when Robinson does get on the field in Week 10, he will be up against a Rams defense that held him to 12 yards on five carries and offered McCaffrey 2.6 yards per carry in Week 5. Robinson projects as an RB5 and is better left on the bench in Week 10.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. found his way into the end zone early in the fourth quarter of the team's 34-24 win over the New York Giants in Week 9. Robinson was only on the field for nine offensive snaps, but it was easily his most productive game as a 49er. Robinson registered five carries for a season high 53 rushing yards and his score, and also had a 41-yard kickoff return. With Christian McCaffrey carrying the 49ers offense, opportunities for Robinson have been few and far between. Still, Robinson remains a valuable handcuff worth stashing as he would step into a bellcow role if McCaffrey ever does go down. The 49ers next face the Rams, who are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Given his team role and the difficult matchup, fantasy managers adding Robinson via waivers are better off keeping him on the bench in Week 10.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. posted his worst performance of the season this past weekend. Robinson has barely seen the field lately, but only played two offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old saw nine rushing attempts in Week 7, so it's a bit odd to see Robinson basically not even touch the field. Surprisingly, Christian McCaffrey has stayed healthy this season, so Robinson's role has been limited in this offense. The expectation is that Robinson is only going to see a handful of touches at most going forward. Robinson isn't going to offer viable fantasy value while McCaffrey is healthy and thriving.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. had his most productive game since Week 1 on Sunday night. San Francisco leaned heavily on their rushing attack in their Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons, allowing Robinson nine carries, tying his season high. Robinson also hit new highs in rushing yards (36) and snap share (26%). His on-field involvement in Week 7 is significant. In Weeks 1 and 2, he had shares of 24% and 23%, respectively, but his rate fluctuated between 7% and 15% in the games since then. Robinson's rebound in usage in Week 7 might be an indicator that the team is realizing they need to do better at divying up the backfield workload to take pressure off Christian McCaffrey. Robinson is not producing enough in his change-of-pace role to start in fantasy football, but he is one of the more valuable handcuffs in the league.
