Jacksonville Jaguars starting running back James Robinson got some good news Tuesday regarding his injured heel that kept him out of action last Sunday vs Buffalo.
The Jaguars are coming off their best moment of the season, shocking the NFL with a 9-6 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Entering Week 9, Buffalo was the odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl. Jacksonville had the worst odds. That is why they say āany given Sunday.ā
Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer provided some positive news for Robinson owners Tuesday according to ESPN staff writer Michael DiRocco.
āI expect him to be limited a little bit early in the week but I'm hearing everything's real positive [for Sunday].ā
Part of the value that James Robinson has provided fantasy managers this season is his pass-catching ability. For the season, he has 133 receiving yards on 18 catches. That goes with the 483 yards he has gained on the ground.
The majority of his production has come only four games after a slow start to the season.
The Jaguars tweeted out the good news that goes beyond just Robinson.

There were initial concerns on the status of quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence hurt his ankle in the win over Buffalo, but it appears he will be fine to start Sunday vs Indianapolis.
Robinson was forced to sit last Sunday vs Buffalo with an injured heel. While filling in for the injured Robinson, running back Carlos Hyde struggled to find running room. He finished the game with 21 carries for 67 yards rushing. He also lost a fumble.
It will be tough sledding for Robinson though. The Colts have allowed the 2nd least fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. Seeing as Robinson might not be at full strength, even if he plays, consider him more of a low-end RB2 for this tough matchup vs Indianapolis.
