K.J. Osborn, Chris Rodriguez Jr. Inactive On Championship Sunday

According to the team, Washington Commanders wide receiver K.J. Osborn and running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. are both inactive for Sunday's NFC title game against the Philadelphia Eagles. They are healthy scratches. Both players were inactive during the first two rounds of the playoffs and will sit out again. Osborn has played in just one game since joining the Commanders off waivers in December. Rodriguez has operated in a depth change-of-pace role during the regular season and averaged a solid 4.9 yards per carry. As a result, fantasy managers should expect receivers Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus to operate as the top wideouts, while Brian Robinson Jr., Austin Ekeler, and Jeremy McNichols are deployed out of the backfield.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Not A Viable Play In Week 18

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. remains a desperation play heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Last weekend, Rodriguez found the back of the end zone and added 16 yards on five attempts. For the second straight week, Rodriguez saw more rushing attempts than the presumed No.2 option, Jeremy McNichols. However, Rodriguez may revert to the No.3 role if Austin Ekeler (concussion) returns to action. He was able to practice in full all week and is listed as questionable which suggests he is nearing a return. If Ekeler does not return, Rodriguez would be viewed as a high-risk touchdown-dependent RB3. However, if Ekeler does return, fantasy managers should not view Rodriguez as a viable play facing the Dallas Cowboys as he would only see a handful of snaps.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Punches In Score On Sunday Night

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for 16 yards and a score on five carries on Sunday evening in their victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Rodriguez also tallied 12 yards on his lone reception. The sophomore running back punched in his score in the fourth quarter on a two-yard carry. While Brian Robinson Jr. saw the vast majority of the attempts, it is promising to see Rodriguez's name called late in the game. In this game, he logged four more attempts than the presumed No.2 option Jeremy McNichols. The Kentucky product has seen a slight uptick in opportunities with Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the injured reserve over the past month. However, with Ekeler nearing a return, fantasy managers should not expect him to have a consistent role in the offense moving forward. For now, he projects to be a desperation flex play in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Looks To Claim No. 2 Role In Week 15

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. will look to claim the No. 2 role behind Brian Robinson Jr. this weekend but is not a viable option in standard formats facing the New Orleans Saints. In Week 13 with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sitting out, Rodriguez logged seven more carries than the presumed No. 2 option Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez performed very well, averaging just over 7.0 yards per carry in that contest and even added a late goal-line touchdown. While Rodriguez could see opportunities late in the game if the Commanders have a sizeable lead, fantasy managers should only view the 24-year-old as a high-risk flex option in deep 14-plus-team formats, as Robinson will see most of the work on the afternoon.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Punches In Late Score

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for an impressive 94 yards with a score on 13 attempts during their Week 13 victory over the Titans. While Brian Robinson Jr. saw most of the opportunities early on, as the Commanders began to pull away, the 24-year-old saw a hefty workload late in the game. It was important to note that Rodriguez saw more attempts than the presumed No. 2 option, Jeremy McNichols, as Austin Ekeler (concussion) is currently on the IR. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to monitor Rodriguez's workload as he could become a viable low-end flex option in deeper formats if he cements himself as the backup behind Robinson while Ekeler remains out.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Avoidable For Week 13

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has moved up the depth chart with Austin Ekeler (concussion) landing on the injured reserve. Rodriguez was cut by the Commanders last week but signed back to the practice squad. He figures to serve as the third string back for the Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. That being said, Brian Robinson Jr. and Jeremy McNichols should see a majority of the snaps in the backfield. Rodriguez might see a few touches, but isn't worth starting in fantasy formats in Week 13.

Commanders Add Chris Rodriguez Jr. To Active Roster

The Washington Commanders announced on Tuesday that they signed running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. to their active 53-man roster from their practice squad. Both RBs Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) and Austin Ekeler (concussion) were injured in the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and may not be available to play this Sunday in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. In addition to adding Rodriguez to the active roster, Washington worked out veteran RBs James Robinson and Boston Scott for additional insurance with it looking like they'll be without one or both of B-Rob and Ekeler this weekend. If they are both out, expect Rodriguez to at least be the RB2 behind Jeremy McNichols against Tennessee. Even in the event that happens, the 24-year-old will be hard to recommend as anything more than a desperation RB3/flex in the deepest fantasy leagues.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. A Healthy Scratch On Thursday

With Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) returning to action on Thursday night against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, Chris Rodriguez Jr. is a healthy inactive. Robinson missed the team's previous two games, which afforded Rodriguez 13 carries for 56 yards as a change-of-pace option behind Austin Ekeler. With B-Rob back in the fold, the Commanders will roll with Robinson, Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols as their three backs against Philly. The 24-year-old Rodriguez has played in only four games in 2024 in his second year in the league, with all his statistics coming in the last two games with Robinson sidelined. Obviously, the former sixth-rounder in 2023 out of Kentucky is off the fantasy radar.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Signed To Active Roster

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has been signed to the active roster ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodriguez is back on the active roster with Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) being ruled out for this weekend. The expectation is that Austin Ekeler and Rodriguez will split up the backfield duties for Washington, with Jeremy McNichols also potentially getting involved. Last week, Rodriguez carried the ball 11 times for 52 yards in the win over the New York Giants. He'll get a tougher challenge against the Steelers defense this week, but he could have some desperation flex value for Week 10.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Could See More Opportunities In Week 10

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. could see increased opportunities with No. 1 running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) being ruled out for a second straight game in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last weekend, Rodriguez surprisingly saw more attempts than the presumed No. 3 option Jeremy McNichols. In that game, Rodriguez tallied a team-high 52 yards off 11 attempts. However, the Kentucky product is still on the practice squad and would need to be elevated before Sunday's game in order to suit up. If the Commanders decide to leave him off the roster, fantasy managers should expect McNichols to serve as the backup behind Austin Ekeler.
