Scouting report

NYJ RB James Robinson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Chicago Bears
Since being acquired by the Jets, James Robinson's usage has been limited as he has been the backup to Michael Carter. He only played 22% of the snaps last week. The exception was the Buffalo game where he got 15 touches, but it doesn't look like that will happen on a regular basis.

Robinson faces the Bears who are ranked 28th in aFPA to running backs. We like the matchup for the Jets running game, but not enough to warrant a start for Week 12. Keep him on the bench.

NYJ RB James Robinson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New England Patriots
James Robinson's playing time has ticked up each week as he was up to 40% in the last Jets game. He will get playing time as a complement to Michael Carter and against Buffalo he had 13 carries for 48 yards.

Robinson will face the Patriots who are ranked 1st in aFPA to running backs. This will be a tough matchup for the Jets run game, although 25+ carries for the tailbacks will still happen.

Keep Robinson on the bench for Week 11. There will be weeks where he does have value, but not enough against New England's run defense this week.

NYJ RB James Robinson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Buffalo Bills
James Robinson made his Jets debut with five carries for 17 yards. Of course, his playing time was limited because of just arriving but we expect New York to use him more as he gets more familiar with the offense. Will he be more of a factor than Michael Carter? Probably not right away.

Robinson faces the Bills who are average against the run. It's wait and see the usage and touches in the next couple weeks to see where he stands. For now, keep Robinson on the bench on stand by as his value could rise in the near future.

JAX RB James Robinson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs New York Giants

Week 6 was another tough week for James Robinson, as the shine continues to come off a season that started so promisingly. Robinson rushed 12 times for 54 yards and caught his sole target for a single yard. He was also outsnapped 29-27 by Travis Etienne. Robinson managed 6.0 Half PPR points and finished as the RB30 in Week 7.

The Giants ranked 17th in aFPA to running backs, but with the Jaguars backfield fast becoming a two-headed monster Robinson and Etienne are tough to trust as more than low-end RB2s this week.

JAX RB James Robinson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Indianapolis Colts

James Robinson endured his second rough game in a row against a Texans side he should have, on paper at least, run all over. Robinson carried the ball 10 times for just 27 scoreless yards, his second straight game with less than 30 yards and no touchdowns. Worryingly for his long-term fantasy value, Robinson played on just 40% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps. Travis Etienne played 53%. Robinson was the RB51 in Half PPR formats.

It'll be a tough game for Robinson in Week 6, as the Colts haven't exactly been welcoming toward fantasy running backs. They rank 11th in aFPA to the position. We have Robinson as a high-end RB3 this week, with concerns over both the matchup and his grip on the high value touches in the Jags backfield.

JAX RB James Robinson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs Houston Texans

James Robinson endured the worst game of his stellar comeback season against the Eagles in Week 4. He rushed just eight times for 29 yards and didn't see a single target. Robinson failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season and posted a mere 2.9 Half PPR points. Robinson finished as the RB57 for the week.

Happy days should be here again in Week 5 as the Jaguars lock horns with the Texans. The visitors rank dead last in aFPA to running backs this season, which should see Robinson atone for his bad day at the office in Week 4. He's a locked-in top-12 option this week.

JAX RB James Robinson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Philadelphia Eagles

James Robinson had his best game of the season against the Chargers in Week 3, rushing for 100 yards on 17 attempts and scoring a rushing touchdown for the third game in a row. Robinson also set new season-highs with three receptions for 16 yards, giving him 19.1 Half PPR points and a place as the RB7 for the week. Through three games, Robinson has commanded 58% of the Jaguars' rushing attempts while seeing a team-high ten red zone carries. He's the RB3 in Half-PPR scoring.

Robinson has a tough game in Week 4 against the Eagles. The Eagles have been better against the pass than the run this season, although they've been up big in their last two games so teams have not been able to establish on the ground. They rank 12th in aFPA to running backs. Still, Robinson's usage and current role mean he has to be in the RB2 conversation at the very least.
