Spotrac tweeted: "RB Brian Robinson is set to earn $3.406M in 2025, the final year of his rookie contract. If a trade partner can't be found, the Commanders will take on a $212k dead cap hit to move on from him this week, freeing up that $3.4M."

Bijan Robinson, a former top-10 draft pick and superstar running back for the Atlanta Falcons, and Brian Robinson Jr., a solid starting running back for the Washington Commanders who is now the subject of preseason trade talk, are two completely different people. Full stop. Don't let their similar starting "B. Robinson" names fool you. Ever.

The video in question shows a fantasy football fan making the No. 1 pick in his fantasy draft. The fan, Miguel Solorio, is seen on video confidently walking up to the board and slapping a sticker with the player's name. The sticker simply reads, "B. Robinson."

A fantasy football manager went immediately viral after drafting the wrong NFL player at the No. 1 overall spot.

Now? There's trade buzz, with a report from Jordan Schultz that Washington has "been shopping" Robinson. That could be smoke, but it could also pile on top of what's been an iffy offseason for the running back who will be a free agent next year.

Outlook: Robinson and Austin Ekeler comprise one of the league’s least-satisfying running back duos, especially for an ascendant team like Washington. There could be a new face or two added between now and Week 1,

In just over two weeks, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will open the 2025 NFL regular season. On that day, another season of fantasy football will also get underway.

Brian Robinson has shown flashes of being a reliable fantasy contributor, but injuries and inconsistent usage have kept him from reaching his full potential. Entering his fourth season with the Commanders, Robinson could offer sneaky RB2 value if he earns a steady workload and stays on the field.
