Jaguars Beat: RB James Robinson needs ball in critical situations

Oct 11, 2021

The 0-5 Jacksonville Jaguars appear to have figured out that running back James Robinson is their best offensive player.

The next step is getting him even more work – especially in crucial situations.

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out that Robinson wasn't on the field at a key point in the game: After a defensive holding penalty gave the Jaguars a first-and-goal from the Tennessee 5-yard line with 10:55 to play in the fourth quarter and the Jaguars trailing 31-19. A touchdown would have made it a one-score game. JRob finished with 149 yards on 18 carries and a TD but the team opted to have Hyde on the field in that situation and he took a three-yard loss. The good news is after not using Robinson much in the first two games, the Jaguars have corrected that issue.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
