Brian Robinson Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Just two carries in loss to SEA Robinson rushed two times for nine yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Seattle.

Impact Robinson was only on the field for six offensive snaps (his lowest total since Week 8) with his club playing catch-up all evening. The veteran backup appears to get extra touches in contests that San Francisco plays with a lead in, otherwise it has been the Christian McCaffrey Show in 2025. Robinson appeared in all 17 regular-season contests in his first year with the 49ers, compiling 400 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a change-of-pace role. The 26-year-old will continue spelling CMC in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Garners five touches Sunday Robinson took four carries for 22 yards and grabbed his only target for six yards in Sunday's 42-38 win over Chicago.

Impact Robinson was on the field for 11 snaps on offense (15 percent) while handling five touches for the second week running. The veteran backup continues to be lost in the shadow of starter Christian McCaffrey (23-140-1), who has a stranglehold on the 49ers' lead back role. Robinson won't provide much in terms of fantasy value while spelling CMC against the Seahawks in Saturday's regular-season finale.

Gains 20 yards Monday Robinson rushed five times for 20 yards while failing to catch his only target in Monday's 48-27 win over Indianapolis.

Impact Robinson was limited to five carries -- his lowest total since Week 9 -- behind another dominant showing from starter Christian McCaffrey (146 yards and two TDs). The 26-year-old Robinson has been held under 30 rushing yards in all three games since the 49ers' Week 14 bye. With a healthy McCaffrey dominating San Francisco's backfield touches, there simply isn't enough work left for Robinson to carve out a significant fantasy role against the Bears on Sunday.

Another down game in Week 15 Robinson rushed nine times for 21 yards and returned two kicks for 53 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

Impact Robinson struggled in his change-of-pace role Sunday after finishing the contest with a season-worst 2.3 YPC. The veteran backup has finished with a per-carry average below 4.0 yards in three out of his last four outings with no trips to the end zone over that span. Robinson's recent struggles and marginal role on offense make him an unsavory fantasy option against the Colts in Week 16.

Eight carries in dominant win Robinson turned eight carries into 26 yards in Sunday's 26-8 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Robinson garnered at least seven carries for the fourth game in a row, but he was limited to an uninspiring 3.3 yards per carry Sunday. The running back also didn't see a target for the first time since Week 9. Robinson has now rushed the ball 72 times for 328 yards and two touchdowns while catching seven of 10 targets for 19 yards over 13 contests this year.

Solid backup effort Monday Robinson rushed seven times for 40 yards while catching one of two targets for four yards in Monday's 20-9 win over Carolina.

Impact Robinson provided a nice change of pace to starter Christian McCaffrey's 24-89-1 rushing line as the duo helped contribute to a dominant 147-yard rushing effort against the Panthers. The 26-year-old Robinson has been experiencing greater success in recent weeks, averaging 39.5 rushing yards over his last four contests with both of his touchdowns coming over that span. The bruising runner has yet to reach double-digit carries in any game this season while topping 50 yards just once, so his fantasy value remains tied to deeper formats. Expect Robinson to receive his allotted handful of carries behind CMC when the 49ers face the Browns on Sunday.

Gains 24 yards Sunday Robinson rushed eight times for 24 yards while failing to bring in his only target in Sunday's 41-22 win over Arizona.

Impact Robinson couldn't extend his modest touchdown streak to three games, instead finishing with his worst per-carry average (3.0 yards) since Week 5. The eight carries were the lone bright spot for the veteran backup, which eclipsed the 4.9 carries he averaged entering Sunday's divisional matchup. While single-digit touches shouldn't inspire excitement from GMs in standard leagues, Robinson could provide value for those in deeper formats if San Francisco builds an early lead against the Panthers next Monday.

49ers offense has little margin for error with so many injuries to the defense

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Scores in consecutive games Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for four yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Impact Robinson kept his hot play going with another touchdown following his best game of the season against the Giants (5-53-1). The veteran backup actually finished as San Francisco's leading rusher on a day where starter Christian McCaffrey struggled on the ground (2.5 YPC). Robinson maintains a serious cap on touches so long as McCaffrey remains upright. Only desperate managers in deeper formats should consider starting Robinson against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Best game with San Francisco Robinson took five carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants. He also returned a kickoff for 41 yards.

Impact Robinson turned in his best performance as a member of the 49ers on Sunday, setting a new season high in rushing yards while punching in his first touchdown of 2025. The 26-year-old backup was still limited to single-digit touches (five) and snaps on offense (nine), so managers shouldn't overreact to what might end up being his best fantasy score this year. Expect Robinson to receive a handful of carries behind every-down starter Christian McCaffrey in a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Rams next Sunday.
