4. James Robinson, New York Jets

James Robinson has been a integral part of the Jets backfield since joining them via trade. He’s been in a near-even split with Michael Carter, who does have the edge on him on passing downs. Last week, Robinson laid an egg against the Patriots, but so did the entire Jets offense.

With a quarterback change for the Jets, and a much more favorable matchup against the fourth-worst run defense in the Chicago Bears, Robinson is set up for a bounce-back week, and is an interesting FLEX play and DFS option.

3. Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams

While Cam Akers’ stock improves after the Darrell Henderson release, Kyren Williams’ stock has risen even more. After out-snapping Akers last week and operating as the clear passing down back, Williams is set for an expanded role for the rest of the season.

Williams takes on the Chiefs in Week 12 with Rams’ UDFA Bryce Perkins set to make his first start. While the matchup and game script likely won’t be good for anyone for the Rams, Williams’ pass-catching floor makes him a sneaky PPR option this week.
