Commanders trade RB Brian Robinson to 49ers for sixth-round pick

Aug 22, 2025

Trade: Commanders are trading RB Brian Robinson to the 49ers in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jacory Crosky-Merritt, Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo

Fantasy Impact:

This is awful news for Guerendo drafters, but with all the injuries to the 49ers' running back room, they needed a dependable body in the room. This dings McCaffrey a little bit, but his passing-game involvement should be enough to secure another top-10 (or higher finish), while Robinson will pick up most of the slack and deliver as a FLEX play in tough weeks.

Back in Washington, Crosky-Merritt should be boosted out of low-end RB4 territory into an RB3 while Ekeler has some sneaky upside to finish in the same range.

Vikings inquiring about a trade for WR Adam Thielen

Vikings have inquired about trading for Panthers WR Adam Thielen, per league sources.

With WR Jordan Addison serving a three-game suspension and Jalen Nailor dealing with a hand injury, Thielen could wind up starting opening night for the Vikings if they can complete the trade.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting a pretty run-heavy approach for Minnesota this season, so it's hard to imagine Thielen providing a lot of long-term fantasy production. This does help McCarthy's floor as a low-end QB2.

John Harbaugh says Lamar Jackson is sore after getting stepped on Wednesday, so they kept him out of practice today. "But he's fine, he's gonna be good."

Fantasy Impact:

Seems like there's nothing to worry about here despite Jackson leaving practice yesterday. We'll keep an eye on things but it doesn't seem like anything to r concerned about.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright walks off field with serious-looking limp

Omar Kelly

yesterday · 11:54 AM EDT

Jaylen Wright is being walked to the Baptist Health facility with a limp and it doesn’t look good. Not saying season ending, but this isn’t a “I’ll bounce back” limp. But at least he’s walking.

Related Players: De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon, Alexander Mattison

Fantasy Impact:

If this really is serious, it could leave Gordon and Mattison in line for legit work with Achane also nursing an injury. We'll keep an eye on both injuries and a potential RB move if one takes place.
