Yahoo Sports fantasy contributor Sal Vetri explains why he likes the Commanders running backs this week.

Yeah, that’s the prediction, you can’t see me, of the week and it’s Brian Robinson who is going to finish in the top five overall for the first time this season.
That might not sound too bold, but he didn’t even finish in the top 12 this year despite his great consistency.
He has scored 10 or more fantasy points in six of seven starts.
The only time he didn’t was last week, a tough game against the Bears and he still racked up a respectable 70+ yards on 17 touches.
But those 17 touches were important to me as he was coming back from a knee injury and he has looked in great shape since then in a few games.
It doesn’t seem like it’s holding him back.
He’s seeing over 60% of the snaps and plenty of opportunities and that matters this week because he’s going to face a division rival.
The Giants he is a favorite, which is important for his game scenario, but the Giants are also allowing the most explosive runs this year and the most rushing yards per play.
I think we’re looking at a week where we get a 100 yard performance from Brian Robinson and at least one touchdown and he finishes top five for the week.
