likely going to start robinson over odell and hollywood. so far miami is getting gashed on the ground this year.I'm facing a very similar decision with Robinson and Mixon. Telling myself I'm not crazy for leaning Robinson.

They are? They're in red on all the sites I've seen for pts given up to RBs.likely going to start robinson over odell and hollywood. so far miami is getting gashed on the ground this year.
about 100 yards per game to RB's allowed. plus the rushing yards cam and allen had (so you are right the number of rush yards per game is a bit skewed due to the running qb's)They are? They're in red on all the sites I've seen for pts given up to RBs.
Yes, loved those big games from Sony Michel and Devin Singletary???likely going to start robinson over odell and hollywood. so far miami is getting gashed on the ground this year.
Yup. Cost me $1 of FAABVery happy with this waiver wire pickup before the season began.
I did the same....never thought I would bench Mixon....but feels like the right decision nowPlayed him over Mixon, holla back.
That makes three of us. I may have to play Mixon if Jacobs can’t go though. Good problem to haveI did the same....never thought I would bench Mixon....but feels like the right decision now
Negative game script? No problem... I'll just lead the team in receptions! Damn.Let's do this.
James Robinson rushed 11 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' Week 3 loss to the Dolphins, adding six receptions for 83 additional yards.
Robinson was the proverbial bright spot on an otherwise dismal evening, notching both of the Jags' touchdowns and leading the team in receiving. Some of it was due to Dolphins LB Elandon Roberts seeming unaware of how to tackle, but Robinson was adding on serious yardage after first contact. His six receptions more than doubled his total from Weeks 1 and 2. If Robinson is catching 3-4 weekly passes, he will be a locked-in RB2 who offers occasional RB1 viability. The Bengals' nonexistent run defense presents one such opportunity for Week 4.

It's a good way to start the week. Especially when you're staring at CMC on IR.Wow, 27.9 in my half ppr league. I’m just glad I started him. My opponent must be irritated... I love this.
I do have CMC on IR.It's a good way to start the week. Especially when you're staring at CMC on IR.
I mean Keshawn Vaughn was going 1.7, so I think for sure Robinson is a first and goes before the WRs. I'd take him over Moss/Gibson in a heartbeat. Akers is debatable (pre-injury even). Right now, if the Akers owner offered me him s/u for Robinson, I'd think about it and probably pull the trigger, even though I need to start JR. But even then, I'm not so sure.The more I see of this kid, the more impressed I am.
I am curious: if you were to re-rank the rookies for dynasty, where would you slot Robinson? Would Robinson go in the first round? Would you take him ahead of Zack Moss? Antonio Gibson? Cam Akers? I realize we are only 3 games into his young career, but he has clearly answered the call, so is there any reason to doubt he can be the long-term answer at RB for the Jags?
This sounds about right. I would still take Robinson behind Akers, as well as at least Lamb and Jeudy at receiver. I worry that Robinson's UDFA status does get him a shorter leash if he falters along the way or gets injured. We have seen guys like Thomas Rawls look amazing for short stints only to quickly fade into nothing, and even Spencer Ware never regained his footing once an injury derailed him. Nevertheless, I think Robinson goes in the back end of the first round in dynasty rookie drafts if they were held today.I mean Keshawn Vaughn was going 1.7, so I think for sure Robinson is a first and goes before the WRs.

It's funny, if Robinson were even a 5th round NFL pick and going in the mid-rounds in dynasty drafts everyone would be stone cold over the moon. What a difference the UDFA stigma makes.
I wish I could trade Mixon for Robinson.I did the same....never thought I would bench Mixon....but feels like the right decision now
I've had him in my lineup since last week. I think he's staying, unless I can get good value for himPicked him up off waivers this week and plugged him in over Gurley. He does look good.
I started him, while my opponent got cute and started Minshew over Watson. Now he has to sit with that for two days.Wow, 27.9 in my half ppr league. I’m just glad I started him. My opponent must be irritated... I love this.
QBs in my redraft league are high scoring. 6 PT tds and yardage bonuses.Gamescript Proof! with his receiving ability, I think Chris Thompson is competent COP back for him. I think we all are thinking he is legit top 24 back this year. I'm one of them. I'm not too worried about the Ozigbo/Armstead returns either now.
The only issue left is if you choose to sell high after his strong start. I think anyone who 'sold high' after Week 1 and Week 2 prolly regrets it though. I think week 3 is his true ceiling, since w/o Chark, he was also the #1 receiver. I think you got to keep him unless a top 15 back is offered? but I don't anticipate that being a thing. I'd be interested if anyone can share what they traded him for?
I just checked yahoo trade market feature and I saw someone traded James Robinson for Devante Parker and another traded away Robinson/Will Fuller for Le'veon Bell and Michael Thomas, but those leagues prolly suck?
He won't have two TDs every week but I don't look at this week as his ceiling. The Jags offense struggled and he only had 11 carries. He has matchups like Cincy and Det coming up where he could have a lot more success on the ground. It's not like he's only catching passes when his team is behind. The Jags first play of the game as a 24 yd dump off to Robinson. I think that role is likely to expand, which will make him matchup proof.Gamescript Proof! with his receiving ability, I think Chris Thompson is competent COP back for him.

James Robinson played 30-of-66 snaps (45 percent) in Week 3 against Miami.
It’s down from the 68% Robinson played in Week 1 and the 51% snap share he had last week. Robinson had two redzone scores and led Jacksonville in receiving (83) despite a negative gamescript that had them chasing points. The Jaguars went with Chris Thompson (45%) and Laviska Shenault in pass heavy sets, cutting into Robinson's ceiling. Robinson should have better gameflow for a Week 4 matchup with the Bengals.

Three down pass-catching and GL back off the waiver wire. (Or 5th round rookie pick fro some of us )He won't have two TDs every week but I don't look at this week as his ceiling.

People tend to underestimate the value in backfields on bad teams or with no clear bellcow. When you hear the experts saying "stay away from this teams backfield, its a mess" is a great time to target those players on the cheap.Three down pass-catching and GL back off the waiver wire.

When it's not being capricious and cruel, this hobby can be pretty fun.
