James Robinson NEWS
Jets Optimistic James Robinson Will Play
New York Jets running back James Robinson (knee) has a chance to suit up in Week 9. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the team is "optimistic" that its newly acquired running back will be able to play despite being added to the injury report on Saturday. Of course, he'll test his knee prior to the game before making an official decision. Robinson made his Jets debut last week, rushing just five times for 17 yards. If active in Week 9, he'll rank as an RB4 for fantasy purposes.
Nov 6, 2022 • 12:53 PM | RotoBallerJames Robinson Questionable Against Buffalo
The New York Jets added running back James Robinson (knee) to their injury report on Saturday, and he's officially questionable to play in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. Robinson made his debut with the Jets in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots and was used sparingly behind Michael Carter, handling just five carries for 17 yards on 22 percent of the offensive snaps. He also failed to catch his only target. The 24-year-old is probably in line to see more work this weekend, but his injury concern makes him one to avoid in starting fantasy lineups. Robinson should become a bigger part of the Jets offense as the season wears on, but he's tough to trust right now. If he's inactive on Sunday, Michael Carter's fantasy ceiling will be much higher as the bell-cow back. Ty Johnson would likely back him up.

New York Jets running back James Robinson (knee) is active for the Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots. The newly acquired running back was dealing with a minor knee injury. It appears that is behind him and Robinson will make his team debut on Sunday. It's likely that the Jets ease Robinson into action with it being a new scheme. Michael Carter is the better fantasy option between the two for this Week 8 matchup. However, the two are expected to split up the role once Robinson fully understands the system.
Oct 30, 2022 • 3:40 PM | RotoBallerJets To Ease James Robinson In
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that newly acquired running back James Robinson (knee) will practice with the team on Wednesday, but the team will take it slow with him to see where he's at. Saleh also noted that Robinson is a one-cut runner who knows how to get downhill, and he'll be a nice complement to Michael Carter after impressive rookie Breece Hall's season-ending knee injury. Robinson dealt with some knee soreness last week but still played in the Week 7 loss to the New York Giants. The 24-year-old had been falling out of favor in Jacksonville as the lead back, and now he'll share the backfield with Carter in his new home. The Jets haven't committed to Robinson playing in Week 8, and if he is active, expect him to take a back seat to Carter.
Oct 26, 2022 • 4:49 PM | RotoBallerJets Acquire James Robinson From Jaguars
The New York Jets are acquiring running back James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for undisclosed draft-pick compensation, according to sources. Impressive rookie running back Breece Hall (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 7 win over the Denver Broncos, so Robinson will help replace him in New York's backfield. The 24-year-old started the year with three straight games with a rushing touchdown, but he has since seen second-year back Travis Etienne Jr. take over. In New York, he'll be sharing the backfield with Michael Carter, who should still be a high waiver-wire priority heading into Week 8. Etienne's fantasy stock is now through the roof, while it remains to be see how the Jets will deploy Robinson in tandem with Carter.
Oct 24, 2022 • 11:53 PM | RotoBallerJames Robinson Officially Active In Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is officially active for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Most fantasy managers were down on Robinson heading into draft season after he suffered a torn Achilles last year. On top of it, second-year back Travis Etienne Jr. is a major road block to Robinson's fantasy ceiling in 2022. However, head coach Doug Pederson hinted that the 24-year-old wouldn't have any limitations this weekend, so he could have a bigger early down workload than most expect. It remains uncertain how Jacksonville will split up the touches between Robinson and Etienne, which makes Robinson more of a low-upside RB4/flex for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
Sep 11, 2022 • 4:19 PM | RotoBallerJames Robinson Back To 100 Percent Health
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back James Robinson (Achilles) is 100 percent back from his torn Achilles. Pederson said Robinson's Week 1 workload against the Washington Commanders will depend on how he looks, but he isn't ruling out Robinson having a normal workload. The 24-year-old will no doubt be active this Sunday in the regular season opener, but it remains to be seen how the workload will be distributed between Robinson and second-year back Travis Etienne Jr. Most fantasy managers are down on Robinson entering this season, but he could be more productive than most people think, at least on early downs and near the goal line. Fantasy managers should play it safe to begin the year until we know more about Robinson's specific workload, so he'll be more of an RB4/flex in Week 1.
Sep 7, 2022 • 4:54 PM | RotoBallerJames Robinson Expected To Play In Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) carried a lot of uncertainty during the NFL offseason after a major injury late in 2021. However, Doug Pederson said Robinson "should play" against the Commanders in Week 1. It's tough to know exactly how the workload will be split between Robinson and Travis Etienne, but Etienne is likely healthier at this point in the year, and the franchise will want to see its 2021 first-round pick in action. For now, starting Robinson is a risky move in fantasy football and Etienne could prove to be a high-risk/high-reward play at the RB2 spot in lineups.
Sep 5, 2022 • 6:48 PM | RotoBallerJames Robinson Will Be Eased In
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the team won't give him his normal workload when he first gets back. Travis Etienne Jr. will be the team's RB1 in terms of workload when the season starts, even if Robinson is cleared to play. Jacksonville will be careful with Robinson, like they have all training camp. ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco expects Robinson to get back to his normal workload as the season moves into October. Etienne will be a big factor as a receiver coming out of the backfield, and he'll also be lined up out wide and in the slot. Etienne is the more attractive fantasy option, especially in PPR leagues, while Robinson will be more of an RB3/4 in standard-scoring leagues.
Aug 25, 2022 • 4:29 PM | RotoBallerJames Robinson "So Close" To Week 1 Return
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) has been steadily making progress during training camp. Last week, he was taking part in team drills and making open-field cuts/moves. When interviewed on Tuesday, the 24-year-old described himself as "so close" to being ready for Week 1. He also expressed that he is "itching to get out there," but understands why the coaching staff is taking a cautious approach. The Illinois product had the backfield mostly to himself in 2021 because Travis Etienne missed his entire rookie season. With both now on track for the season opener against the Commanders, things become a little murkier. The sophomore Etienne figures to handle most of the passing work, while Robinson projects to receive more carries, including the goal-line role. This could limit the ceiling of both players, but each will have a shot to crack the top 24, depending on their role and workload.
