Brian Robinson Jr. for Lions: Power & Value

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is NFL News Today, subscribe to keep up with every headline, every game. The Detroit Lions Backfield took a big hit after trading David Montgomery to Houston. That leaves John Muir Gibbs as their explosive main runner, but without the tough, power guy to pair with him. One name popping up as a smart replacement is Brian Robinson Jr. from the San Francisco 49ers. Robinson brings that exact downhill running style that works so well next to Gibbs. He's thrived and shared backfields before, including lately behind Christian McCaffrey. His physical approach would balance Detroit's offense perfectly. Fans and analysts see him as a reliable option after four solid NFL seasons. He has 662 carries for 2,729 yards, averaging 4.1 yards per carry. It makes him great for early downs and short yardage work, just like Montgomery was. The best part is his price tag. SpotRack projects a one-year deal around $3,073,758.

1:04For the Lions, who love value picks, that's a low-risk way to stay competitive without big spending. This fits head coach Dan Campbell's playbook of pairing speed with power. Adding Robinson could keep Detroit's run game humming affordably, making him a top-off season target. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode.
