1. RB James Robinson, Jaguars (vs. Seattle Seahawks)

James Robinson has again been on a tear in his second year as a pro. Even with having a bye week, Robinson is still the RB11 in PPR scoring. He’s been incredible on the ground, as the Jags’ offense has formed around his skillset.

Robinson owners rejoice this week, as he gets to play the 30th ranked Seattle run defense, allowing 140.8 yards per game. A plus for Robinson is that although Trevor Lawrence hasn’t been great as a pro so far, he’s proved enough that he can make big plays, which won’t allow teams to key in on stopping the run.

Robinson is a lock for top-ten production this week, and he should be in all lineups — both regular and daily. His 460 rushing yards on the year are sixth in the league, and he’s just coming off of his bye week with fresh legs that are ready to deliver another monster fantasy performance.
