Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 16

Bold Prediction #2: James Robinson is finally there for you

The James Robinson experience has been a rough one this season. It started off great when Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Travis Etienne went out for the season with an injury. Nobody wants to root for injuries, but fantasy players with Robinson as its running back won’t say no to one if it helps them.

This season has not been a desirable one for Robinson owners, but he did have a decent week outside the clutches of Urban Meyer against the Houston Texans. He went for 76 yards on the ground, three catches for 13 yards through the air, and a rushing touchdown. That’s a pretty good performance. He even had six targets, which shows he is a key part of the offense.

He wasn’t the most efficient player last week, but this week he has a better chance to make big plays. He’s facing the New York Jets. The Jets are the same team that just allowed more than 140 yards to Duke Johnson after he came off the street for the Miami Dolphins. Robinson is ready to go, and he might go for 200 yards this week.

This might be a massive week for Robinson. If you survived his Weeks 13 and 14 performances where he had less than two points in standard leagues, then you are about to reap the rewards of his existence on your team.
