I think that it will evolve into this IMO.Plus Robinson looked much better than Thompson so far. Robinson should not be taken off the field for that situation. Thompson should be used more to give Robinson a break only not as the hurry up role.
The 2-minute drill rarely has the RB in to protect. They are running routes and involved for dump offs. I understand your point but I think it is more based on his passing game rep getting him the nod. I just don't think he currently is as good as Robinson. Hopefully that gets rectified because obviously Robinson is a quality receiving option based on his last couple games. He definitely passes the eye test.I think that it will evolve into this IMO.
Robinson has been great, but still a rookie. Thompson likely to be more "seasoned" in NFL pass protection... maybe that's why he's the 2-min RB at the moment (just speculation on my part).
Robinson has great hands and great vision. I fully expect him the develop into a bell cow for JAX.
For sureThis is surely valid. As much as I'd be hesitant to trade a first for him, I'd likely be just as hesitant to trade him away for a first. I realize that doesn't necessarily seem consistent but I think most realize what I'm saying.
That is exactly the type of offers I'm getting. A scrub and a 2nd.I don't know that I'd take a 1st for him either...MAYBE a very early 1st if we knew there were top notch rookie RBs coming in that class that should be better than JR.
In the PPR dynasty where I own JR, I have been nothing but low balled on him. Many folks still don't believe in him or they just want to rob me. For example, yesterday I got offered Michel & a 2021 2nd. HARD PASS
Because he was undrafted and its been three games. I wouldnt trade him for a 2nd. A high first...yes, in a heartbeat.Why would you trade him for a pick in the hope it turns into what Robinson is - a young 3 down back
The only thing he appears to be missing is homerun speed.Have to be honest here and say that there is no way in hell that I would give up a lst for him at this point. Talk to me 3-4 games from now and I may feel different.
Btw...i am saying this as someone who already owns Robinson and doesn't believe he is currently worth THAT much.
3-4 more games like this and you arent trading him in dynastyHave to be honest here and say that there is no way in hell that I would give up a lst for him at this point. Talk to me 3-4 games from now and I may feel different.

Yes, more like an Emmitt... comfortable running between the tackles and no desire to beat anyone to the corner.The only thing he appears to be missing is homerun speed.
Definitely amazing acceleration and quickness... but the lack of homeruns might suppress him a bit in fantasy. But, it could be just the difference between a top 15 and top 8.Yes, more like an Emmitt... comfortable running between the tackles and no desire to beat anyone to the corner.
Great "quickness" but not the homerun speed as you said.
Off topic, but I always thought Smith was the best all around RB I've seen.E. Smith did ok in FF. Not saying he is ES, but the other poster started it lol
Probably the wrong place for this, but for real? Barry?Off topic, but I always thought Smith was the best all around RB I've seen.
That’s why I said “all around”Probably the wrong place for this, but for real? Barry?
I'd love to see Barry work with what Emmitt had...That’s why I said “all around”
but yes, I’d take Smith and Walter over Barry if I’m building a championship team.
It would have been silly. All those backfield dances would have been in the 2nd level. If we are playing pretend give me never injured Bo Jackson next with that lineI'd love to see Barry work with what Emmitt had...
I'd take Bo, and several others before building around Emmitt.It would have been silly. All those backfield dances would have been in the 2nd level. If we are playing pretend give me never injured Bo Jackson next with that line
I think he'd have better numbers than he did... but, Barry couldn't block or set up screens and catch passes like Smith, all integral parts of that offense being so effective.I'd love to see Barry work with what Emmitt had...
Yeah, the furthest I go back is Earl Campbell, Wilbert Montgomery, Dickerson, Dorsett, etc.All you young guys never saw Gale Sayers in person...give me a non-injured Sayers.
Barry and Emmitt averaged the same number of catches per year, and Barry had a much better ypc. Emmitt was an outstanding blocker, certainly better than Barry, but Barry was by no means bad at at it.I think he'd have better numbers than he did... but, Barry couldn't block or set up screens and catch passes like Smith, all integral parts of that offense being so effective.
* Just a caveat, I'm an Eagles fan, so this brings me no joy! LOL
Another easy choice over Emmitt talent wise, but longevity has to count for something right?.All you young guys never saw Gale Sayers in person...give me a non-injured Sayers.
None of what I said is a slight on Barry, trust me. He's probably the most entertaining football player ever. I just like Emmitt as a more complete back, much in the same way I would take Hines Ward over plenty of other WRs with better numbers.Barry and Emmitt averaged the same number of catches per year, and Barry had a much better ypc. Emmitt was an outstanding blocker, certainly better than Barry, but Barry was by no means bad at at it.
I haven't gotten any offers, and haven't looked to move him. I do have every intention of keeping him in my starting line-up until he proves otherwise.What are my redraft owners doing? Do we believe in JRob enough to keep him? Who are RBs or WRs you would accept in for a trade?
I'm getting offered Miles Sanders...but PHI schedule, offense losing weapons, and Sanders hammy has me worried.
Then again our boy only has 3 games of production.
I tossed Ruggs at him, waiting to seeWhat is James Robinson's trade value in dynasty? Any dynasty trades out there?
Fair offer. I own both, and would pass.I tossed Ruggs at him, waiting to see
That seems about right. As a Robinson dynasty owner, that is about what I am seeking, if I am going to trade him away. There are yet a number of dynasty owners who are unconvinced by Robinson. Robinson's numbers are slightly ahead of CEH's, so it is almost exclusively draft capital which is holding Robinson's value down (with some general skepticism of the Jags peppered in). Robinson is an early candidate for ROY on a young, promising offense. The Jaguars clearly value performance over draft capital, as evidenced by the trust they have put in Gardner Minshew. If I cannot get a young, talented receiver with similar upside, I will happily hang onto Robinson. Quality depth at RB is always an advantage, but in a season with so many injuries and concerns about COVID-19, it is an especially valuable luxury. I am looking for an AJ Brown or Henry Ruggs-type WR talent plus something for Robinson.I tossed Ruggs at him, waiting to see
I did something similar with tyreek Hill a couple years back.I know no one cares, but drafted him in the 5th in my rookie draft but was my last cut When we had to get to 23. The kind of thing that haunts a dynasty team for a while. Sure looks the part so far....
Exactly what I'm doing.He looks the part. No reason he can't deliver. I'm holding him and starting him over Gurley.
Go to the link for the rest of the read.... his 339 scrimmage yards are the most ever by an undrafted player through three career games and he has joined Kareem Hunt as the only players over the last 10 seasons to gain at least 300 scrimmage yards and score at least three rushing TDs in their first three career games.
If Robinson was a first-round pick, the Jaguars would be happy with this kind of production. But to get it out of an undrafted rookie who months prior was an unknown to nearly everyone out of the state of Illinois is something rare.
"I think he’s a guy that—he can do everything, I mean, he can be a three-down back, he can protect, he can catch the ball out of the backfield, obviously he can run the football," head coach Doug Marrone ...
He can do everything. To get that kind of praise from his head coach three weeks into his NFL career is as astonishing as it is surprising to those who didn't know about his story before the NFL.
But for those who did know Robinson and the kind of person and player he was, it is far from a surprise...
Without reading this, I'd say his outlook is reeeeally good. Cincy's defense is like the offspring of a sieve and swiss cheese......I'm saying a hundy and at least one TD.
James Robinson had 17 carries for 75 yards and caught four passes for 32 yards in Week 4 against the Bengals.
The Jaguars fed Robinson touches early but had to abandon the run while playing from behind in the second half. The volume was still there for Robinson despite a negative gamescript, and he played in some pass situations over Chris Thompson. There weren't any red-zone chances for Robinson this week, as Gardner Minshew threw both his touchdowns inside the 20-yard line. The undrafted Robinson is averaging 4.75 YPC and on pace for 1,784 total yards and 12 touchdowns through the first month of the season. He gets a matchup with the Texans in Week 5.

I always revoke my trade offer immediately when an owner lets a trade sit and sends me a different trade offer.I offered him exactly what he wanted &, instead of simply accepting or rejecting the trade offer on the site, he is letting it sit & instead sent me an offer of Adams for CEH. I rejected that. SMH
