James Robinson Will Be Eased In
2 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the team won't give him his normal workload when he first gets back. Travis Etienne Jr. will be the team's RB1 in terms of workload when the season starts, even if Robinson is cleared to play. Jacksonville will be careful with Robinson, like they have all training camp. ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco expects Robinson to get back to his normal workload as the season moves into October. Etienne will be a big factor as a receiver coming out of the backfield, and he'll also be lined up out wide and in the slot. Etienne is the more attractive fantasy option, especially in PPR leagues, while Robinson will be more of an RB3/4 in standard-scoring leagues.
