James Robinson Week 12 Outlook - Saints at Broncos

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Nov 25th 2020, 7:27pm EST

We're now at 10 straight games where Robinson has seen at least 16 touches, which is remarkable given the state of the Jaguars as a team. He hasn't finished worse than RB31 all season, and he has finished as a top-12 running back in 5-of-10 games. In fact, he's played well enough to give the new coach (when they eventually get one this offseason) something to think about, as the Jaguars have tons of early-round draft picks next year. Last week was probably the toughest matchup he'll have all year against the Steelers, though this week is no walk in the park, either. Of the fantasy production to skill-position players against the Browns, we've watched running backs account for just 27.1 percent of it, which is the third-lowest mark in the league. There have been six running backs who've totaled 15-plus touches against the Browns (what Robinson is essentially guaranteed), and each of them finished with at least 11.1 PPR points but none of them finished with more than 20.6 PPR points. In terms of efficiency, they rank 16th in PPR points per weighted opportunity, which is the league average. They've only faced 25.0 running back touches per game, which is not extremely detrimental to Robinson's outlook, as he's a one-man band. With his workload, plug him in as a high-end RB2 this week, though the move to Glennon certainly doesn't help matters.
