James Robinson Week 4 Outlook -

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 29th 2021, 10:45am EDT

The snap shares for Robinson and Hyde haven't fluctuated much over Jacksonville's first three games - about two-thirds of the offensive snaps for Robinson, one-third for Hyde - but Robinson's touches have increased each week. His 21 touches against the Cardinals last week netted 134 yards from scrimmage and his first touchdown of the season. It was encouraging to see Robinson catch 6 of 6 targets last week, and there could be more passing-game work ahead. The Jaguars' opponents this week, the Bengals, have allowed 31 completions to running backs (and fullbacks) so far, though for only 192 yards (6.2 YPC) and no touchdowns. The Week 3 game against Pittsburgh skews those numbers a bit since Najee Harris had 14 catches by himself, but Minnesota completed 11 passes to RBs and FBs against Cincy in Week 1. With Robinson's receiving prospects looking bright for this game, consider him a mid-range RB2. He also looks like a solid play at $14,100 in the Thursday-night showdown slate at DraftKings. Hyde is a stay-away in a game where the Jaguars are 7.5-point underdogs and aren't likely to get a run-friendly game script.
