James Robinson (Achilles) joins Jaguars starters, likely out Friday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is taking first-team reps at practice.
Robinson didn't play in last week's Hall of Fame game and he is not expected to play in Friday's first preseason game as he continues to recover from a torn Achilles, but he made progress this week by taking reps with the starters at training camp for the first time. Robinson is the favorite to begin the season as the Jaguars' early-down back in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders, but Travis Etienne will likely cut into Robinson's workload as the year progresses.
Robinson is currently the RB39 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 162.1 carries, 718.2 rushing yards, 21.3 receptions (28.9 targets), 158.8 receiving yards, and 5.15 touchdowns. Etienne is the RB23 and he is projected for 186.5 carries, 790.9 rushing yards, 53.5 receptions (72.3 targets), 425.0 receiving yards, and 6.92 touchdowns.
