Chris Rodriguez Jr. Fantasy

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for 43 yards on six attempts and caught one pass for five yards in the team's 31-19 loss to the New York Giants. He also lost a fumble, which was one of six turnovers for Washington on Sunday. The rookie was filling in as the backup running back for the injured Antonio Gibson (toe). That allowed him to tie his career-high in touches and break his personal best rushing yards mark. This backfield still belongs to Brian Robinson Jr. and any other running back is simply a complimentary piece. Even if Gibson were to miss Thursday's tilt against Dallas, Rodriguez won't be on fantasy radars due to limited opportunities and a tough matchup on the road.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. could be a name to watch during Week 8. After seeing little usage for the first six weeks of the season, the rookie ended up splitting carries with fellow back Brian Robinson Jr. while also leading Washington in rushing during Week 7. With the Commanders taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, one thing to monitor is if Rodriguez maintains his role or if he sees an even larger share. With no teams on bye, there are likely few rosters in need of the rookie's services. However, he could be an interesting player to hold over the weekend as an upside stash.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. had seven carries for 31 yards in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. Although this wasn't an awe-inspiring performance from the rookie, it was notable considering it was his first real work of the season. With two players ahead of him on the depth chart, most assumed the former Kentucky back would see little usage this season. However, he surprised everyone by leading the Commanders in rushing while splitting work with Brian Robinson Jr. during Week 7. Heading into a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, he's a name to monitor as a sneaky add off the waiver wire.
