James Robinson 2022 Outlook: Could Injuries Hold Him Back?
2 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had a generally decent season in 2021, pacing the RBs room with 164 rushes for 767 yards and eight scores along with 31 receptions for 222 yards on 46 targets in 14 games. Sadly, the 23-year-old tore his Achilles at the end of the regular season and has spent the offseason recovering from that injury. While he has been progressing in his recovery, it remains to be seen whether Robinson will be playing in Week 1 and when he will reach 100%. The Jags certainly have no reason to rush Robinson considering they have 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne Jr. to lead the backfield for now. While Robinson could be a solid contributor alongside Etienne, there is too much uncertainty right now about his status and that will cloud his fantasy value in drafts this summer. Consider Robinson as only a stash for now though he may certainly be a solid waiver wire pick at some point in the season if he returns and produces well.
