Jaguars Beat: RB James Robinson is back

Sep 27, 2021

James Robinson is, apparently, back.

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally got the second-year running back going in Sunday’s 31-19 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at TIAA Bank Field. He ran for 88 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for 46 yards in his most significant work of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

In the Jaguars' first two games, Robinson had just 16 carries for 72 yards and caught six passes for 46 yards, including only five carries for 25 yards in the season-opening road loss to the Houston Texans. He got more work in Week 2 – 11 carries for 47 yards – but that still wasn’t enough work considering he was averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Perhaps the best news is HC Urban Meyer was quoted as saying, “Yeah, those guys [Robinson and Hyde] are running hard, and we're going to continue to get them the ball.” The team takes on the Bengals and Titans but the story said Robinson's workload should increase.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
