Jaguars Beat: RB James Robinson needs ball in critical situations

Oct 11, 2021

The 0-5 Jacksonville Jaguars appear to have figured out that running back James Robinson is their best offensive player.

The next step is getting him even more work – especially in crucial situations.

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out that Robinson wasn't on the field at a key point in the game: After a defensive holding penalty gave the Jaguars a first-and-goal from the Tennessee 5-yard line with 10:55 to play in the fourth quarter and the Jaguars trailing 31-19. A touchdown would have made it a one-score game. JRob finished with 149 yards on 18 carries and a TD but the team opted to have Hyde on the field in that situation and he took a three-yard loss. The good news is after not using Robinson much in the first two games, the Jaguars have corrected that issue.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
