I was a little shocked when the San Francisco 49ers decided to trade Jordan Mason instead of pay him and not really bring in any veteran help behind Christian McCaffrey given he's not the healthiest running back in the world even if he is 100% right now. Well, San Francisco decided to wait until the week before the season started and they went out and they brought in Brian Robinson Jr. from Washington. And now that does throw a little bit of a wrench into what the plans will be for San Francisco moving forward.
At one point in time, Isaac Guerendo was the backup running back to own in San Francisco, but that now has to be Brian Robinson. And even if Isaac Guerendo's numbers on the DRBR look a little bit more impressive when it comes to the dynamic categories, Brian Robinson Jr. will clearly be the backup running back this season. And if there's somebody to invest in behind Christian McCaffrey, it's got to be Brian Robinson Jr.
For those of you that already drafted and you brought in Brian Robinson Jr. to be a starter for you, that does stink for your overall layout of your team. But congratulations. You may have one of the best pieces in fantasy football if something happens to Christian McCaffrey because you'll either have a running back one or you could potentially look at trading him to the Christian McCaffrey owner currently.
And while Brian Robinson has been solid in the past for Washington, his dynamic numbers don't show anything that could reach the potential of what Christian McCaffrey could bring. If Brian Robinson Jr. becomes the starter at any point this season.
