WesternSociety 74 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) [...] Unless theres a drastic change in the landscape I'll be starting him weeks 15 and 16 with confidence. Smooth as a silky yam. I project a mid second round pick next year and I'll happily take him there. Edited November 24, 2020 by tonycpsu Removed Cool Story Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Mick 138 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’ve rode with Robinson all year. His playoff schedule worries me though. May try to move him for a back like Zeke, Chubb, or Jacobs if I can. Not sure. Either way his value is extremely high in keeper/dynasty leagues. Link to post Share on other sites
Jrt80 228 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Anyone know if he’s got a shot at braking any unstaffed rushing records ? Link to post Share on other sites

If by "unstaffed" you mean undrafted free agent, then yes. He already has at least one: Most Yards in Week 1 by an Undrafted Free Agent--62 yards. I think the most scrimmage yards by an undrafted free agent is in the 1300 range. Robinson is already over 1000 with six games left. I think the rushing yardage record is in the 1100 -1200 range, so he'd need to average ~80 yards per game. He's currently averaging around 76 ypg.

The 2 QBs in the tweet had Gio Bernard 168 rushes for 680 yards, 5 td, & 43 catches for 349 yards and 2 td and Trent Richardson 267 rushes for 950 yards, 11 td, & 51 catches for 367 yards and 1 td in those respective years.

One is still playing at a decent level in the league and is a dual threat. The other was a top 10 pick at the position before flaming out. The third was an UNDRAFTED free agent. The other two had the pedigree, making what Robinson is doing all the more impressive. Great find! Thanks. Edited November 25, 2020 by Fantasy Gooroo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CookiesOmNom 47 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Anyone worried about our boy this weekend? Glennon at QB, Will it just be a one sided game? Browns defense have been decent. Would be lying if I wasn't tempted to sit him ahead of some of the week 12 waiver wire RBs but haven't got the cabinets to drop him. What's everyone's temperature on Robinson this week? Set and forget? Link to post Share on other sites

What's everyone's temperature on Robinson this week? Set and forget? Apparentely Glennon is a check down machine. As long as game doesn’t get out of hand (now that Ozigbo seems to be in on a lot of passing downs) I think an inefficient rushing game could be offset by more catches. One thing I feel pretty comfortable about is that the Jags won’t do that BS constant throwing on the goal like crap like they’d previously did with more mobile Glennon and Luton.

Wasn’t lufton the check down king allegedly? If I hear one more person refer to a back up QB as a “check down machine/king” I’m gonna throw a chair on the court. At the end of the day all these guys check down the same I feel like, and Glennon doesn’t move the offense as great as Minshew, which is what really matters in terms of QB play leading to positive RB production. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

First, relax. Second, I have no idea who said Luton was a check down machine, but it was evident the moment he took his first snaps at QB in the NFL that he was anything but that. So any comments on him being a check down machine was pure speculation based on the fact that he was a rookie QB. Glennon on the other hand is documented as targeting his RBs at a very high rate. Also, if all of these guys check down the same, then why did James Robinson’s receptions/targets go down significantly the minute Luton took over for Minshew? Not sure how anyone can watch Luton vs Minshew in this same offense and walk away saying “I feel like all QBs check down the same”. Lastly, it’s clear Minshew is the best option for this offense. But right now it’s either Glennon or Luton, and anyone who’s watched Luton the past few weeks would be crazy to prefer him over Glennon.

But right now it’s either Glennon or Luton, and anyone who’s watched Luton the past few weeks would be crazy to prefer him over Glennon. I think we all agree minshew>Glennon>lufton. Lufton apparently checked down a lot in college so that’s where people were saying he would check down to Jrob a lot. I don’t think any QB on this roster will necessarily check down more than the other. The reason for more targets imo has to do with the fact that a better QB can get more first downs and thus more plays for the offense and more opportunity to “check down”. If lufton goes 3 & out or a turnover that’s less opportunities for him to check down. I’m sure if you looked at the check down rate as a % of all offensive plays, all 3 QB’s would be about the same. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SkinsChargersFan 3,422 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just heard a stat on today’s CBS podcast that during Glennon’s last 4-game starting stretch 31% of his targets went to RBs. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
