Saints | James Robinson signs future deal Tue Jan 9, 08:00 AM
Free-agent RB James Robinson signed a Reserve/Future contract with the New Orleans Saints Monday, Jan. 8. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Not that long ago (2020, Robinson was a 1,000-yard rusher for the Jaguars. However, things change quickly around here and Robinson has spent the last couple of seasons just trying to hang on. Since he left the Jaguars (2022), Robinson has bounced to four other teams. |

Giants | James Robinson catches on with NY Giants Fri Jul 21, 03:19 PM
Free-agent RB James Robinson (Jets) signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants on Friday, July 21. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was released by the Patriots in mid-June in part due to his recovery from a torn Achilles' tendon in 2022. With RB Saquon Barkley likely to hold out during training camp, the Giants needed another veteran at the position. If healthy, Robinson has produced in this league as a starter who doesn't need to come off the field. We'll see if Robinson can impress in his new surroundings and push for time while competing against guys like Matt Breida and Eric Gray. |

New York Jets RB James Robinson is a 'big part' of the team's plan at the running back position moving forward, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, who intimated that Robinson's minimal role since being acquired was related to him coming off a major injury last season.

| Footballguys view: Robinson showing up on the injury report taken some of his sleeper appeal away. The Jets would be smart to employ a run heavy strategy led by Robinson against the Bills to keep the ball out of both Zach Wilson and Josh Allen's hands. |

Jets | NY Jets going with 'hot-hand' backfield? Thu Oct 27, 01:43 PM
New York Jets RBs James Robinson and Michael Carter will likely have their playing time moving forward determined by whichever one has the hot hand, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Ah yes, the dreaded 'hot hand' approach at running back. This is a problem for Fantasy GMs as you can't predict which back is going to be hot, hotter, or the hottest. For the first week of Robinson on the team, we imagine he will be a RB4/deep flex while Carter will be a RB3/flex play. However, with 'hot hand' you just never know. |

| Footballguys view: When a new player is added, sometimes it takes a week before he gets to the field for his new team. Robinson will be splitting time with Michael Carter when he's up to speed in the Jets' offense. |

Jaguars | James Robinson has decent outing Sun Oct 16, 04:40 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: This was a back and forth affair, which helped Robinson get enough work to not be a total bust, and he hadn't gotten stonewalled at the one-yard line, he would have been a viable RB2 this week. Consider him a what the heck flex against the Giants next week, with his value possibly lagging behind backfieldmate Travis Etienne after a hot start. |

Jaguars | James Robinson not a big factor Sun Oct 9, 05:39 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson rushed for 27 yards on 10 carries against the Houston Texans in Week 5. He also caught two passes for 12 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has been a let down the last two weeks as the Jaguars haven't been in control of the game and getting him touchdown opportunities. The split with Travis Etienne has been basically 50-50 and with the offense not hitting on all cylinders, Robinson has dropped down to matchup RB2/Flex level ahead of a tough matchup with the Colts. |

Jaguars | James Robinson poised for big game? Fri Oct 7, 10:43 PM

| Footballguys view: Robinson rushed eight times for 29 yards in the Jaguars' week 4 loss to the Eagles. He should be in for a bounce-back game this weekend, and we see Robinson as a low-end RB1 against the Texans in Week 5. |

Jaguars | James Robinson performing like an RB1 Sat Sep 24, 11:05 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson is the RB8 in PPR leagues in fantasy points after two games. Robinson has 34 rushes for 130 yards and two touchdowns. He also has three catches for 17 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: It's his backfield ladies and gentlemen. Robinson came back from his Achilles' injury with a vengeance, and he's quieted any question marks about his status. Robinson has also relegated 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne to strictly a backup. After two games, Etienne is getting about half the touches that Robinson gets. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson rushed 11 times for a game-high 66 yards with a touchdown, and he added one grab for a 3-yard touchdown in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Robinson had a big run early and didn't look back as the more valuable fantasy back in Jacksonville. He showed no ill effects from a January achilles tear and should be in lineups as at least a flex against the Colts next week. |

Jaguars | James Robinson expected to go in opener Mon Sep 5, 02:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson (Achilles) will be active in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Jaguars here. Robinson should be able to go, but don't expect a full workload for him. We should see the team have Robinson split time with 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne. In Week 1, with the unknown of his workload and time split with Etienne, Fantasy GMs should be cautious and consider Robinson a flex play. Robinson does have RB2 upside if at full strength. |

Jaguars | James Robinson expected to be ready Thu Aug 18, 09:28 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson (Achilles') is expected to be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
| Footballguys view: Great news for Robinson here. He's been trending in that direction, and Robinson has been getting first-team reps in training camp. The team trusts him in pass protection, so he'll get plenty of work in tandem with second-year RB Travis Etienne. We like drafting Robinson in the RB35-45 range. |
