Denard Robinson-RB-Jacksonville Jaguars (16.4%)

Robinson continues to deliver as the Jags top running back after passing Jordan Todman, Storm Johnson, and Toby Gerhart to seize the starting job.  He has 40 carries in the last two weeks and has gone over 100 yards in each game.  This week he faced a fairly stout Dolphins run defense and still ran for 108 yards on his 18 carries although he didn’t find the end zone like he did in week seven against Cleveland.

His long-term upside may be limited since there are serious questions about his durability, but Robinson has captured lightning in a bottle and feel free to ride him for as long as he’s hot as your RB2 or flex option.  Robinson has been the Jags most dynamic weapon and a good complement for rookie QB Blake Bortles.

The Jags offense does limit Robinson’s upside since they struggle with turnovers and play from behind, but he’s shown the last two games he can overcome those obstacles and be a solid fantasy producer. This week, the former Michigan QB will take on the Bengals run defense which has struggled in recent weeks, making Robinson a mid-level RB2 this week.
