5 matchups to win your Fantasy Football game in Week 12

5. James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. ATL)

James Robinson, since coming back from injury, has handled nearly all of the running back touches for Jacksonville. This is good news for Robinson owners who had fears of a decreased workload due to his injury, but seeing how Jacksonville looked without him, he needs to be heavily involved. The offense flows through him when he’s on the field.

Robinson gets a plus matchup in the Atlanta Falcons who rank 25th in the NFL in rushing defense and allow the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs. This game will be competitive due to the talent level of both teams, which should keep Robinson involved both on the ground and through the air. He’s a solid RB1 this week.
