James Robinson To Be "Certified Centerpiece Of Offense"
4 years agoJacksonville Jaguars second-year running back James Robinson projects for a heavy workload this season following news that Travis Etienne Jr. is out for the season due to foot surgery. Robinson handled a whopping 289 touches in his rookie season last year on his way to finishing as the RB7 in PPR formats, so he's proven that he can handle a featured role. The question around Robinson now becomes — how high is too high to take him in drafts? Robinson projects as a rock-solid RB2 at the very least, but Carlos Hyde has been involved enough in the preseason that it would be somewhat surprising to see Robinson approach 300 touches in 2021, though it's hardly out of the question. Robinson should be drafted in the third or fourth round in most leagues, and he has more volume-related upside than just about any other RB2 on the board.

James Robinson Continues Fight For Roster Spot
8 months agoNew Orleans Saints' running back James Robinson was active in Sunday's preseason loss as he fights for a roster spot. The veteran journeyman carried the ball five times for 27 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards. He also saw some work on special teams as a return man. Robinson has been unable to stick on a roster ever since he was traded from Jacksonville in 2022, and it will be an uphill climb for him to make the Saints' 53-man roster unless he impresses on special teams.

Saints Sign James Robinson To Futures Deal
1 year agoThe New Orleans Saints signed veteran running back James Robinson to a futures deal on Monday. The move to keep Robinson around heading into the 2024 season comes after he was added to New Orleans' practice squad in early December. The 25-year-old was brought in to provide running back depth behind Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and rookie Kendre Miller, who missed Weeks 10-17 with an ankle sprain. Before landing a deal with the Saints, Robinson spent time with the Green Bay Packers' practice squad and was active in Week 13, only to see one carry for two yards while catching one pass for a loss of two yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. The former undrafted rookie free agent had a 1,000-yard season in his rookie year in 2020 with the Jacksonville Jaguars out of nowhere but hasn't been the same since and has been passed around the league as RB depth.

Saints Sign James Robinson
1 year agoThe New Orleans Saints signed free-agent running back James Robinson on Tuesday, according to a league source. The former undrafted rookie that put up 1,000 yards in 2020 with the Jacksonville Jaguars continues to be passed around as RB depth in 2023 after his latest stint with the Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old was active for one game with the Packers in Week 13 and had one carry for two yards and caught his only target for a two-yard loss on four offensive snaps. In New Orleans, Robinson will provide running back depth behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. Rookie Kendre Miller (ankle) continues to battle an ankle injury and has missed the last four games. It's unlikely we'll see Robinson in a game for the Saints to close out 2023.
