He is now the #3 Fantasy RB and #4 non-QB points scorer. Calvin Ridley is going on the shelf for a few weeks, so James will leapfrog him and he is only 1 point behind Derrick Henry.


Guys, it is possible the James Robinson is the overall #2 fantasy player in football on Thanksgiving Day. (He is currently 27 points behind Kamara- nobody catching him unless injury gets him)

Either way, if he does even below average numbers vs what we've seen from here on out, James is a pro-bowler.

JRob having a really nice day so far, getting lots of love from the announcers. Just scored a TD, he's got 66 rushing yards on 13 carries.

He will remain about the #4 fantasy RB in the league going into Nov 15th.

Currently on pace for 1200 rushing yards and 10 TD to go with an additional 500 yds and 4 TD through the air.

James Robinson may start the Pro Bowl for the AFC.

and his week 9 highlights against the Texans. Just some nice runs, and so much yac. Oshaughnessy got some blocking mention on TD run.

7th in all purpose yards and 6th in rush yards, but he's just 9 yards from 3rd. And the 2 RBs just ahead of hime have played an extra game .. so technically 4th in rush yards per game.

I'm not watching these games at all, just highlights .. so my perspective on this point is limited to highlights. But would it f-ing kill the anouncers to just once mention on a highlight where Oshaughnessy blocks for Robinson to say .. "and another key block delivered by an Illinois State Redbird for an Illinois State Redbird !!!"

NOT HARD ... RIGHT !!!!!!

classy and smart .. refused to take the bait, starts around 55 second mark:

Reporter: "8 straight weeks with over 100 yards from scrimmage. How do you respond to all the teams that passed on you for 7 rounds ?"

JR: "I don't. I'm here now. It doesn't matter ...... silence ........".

Love his humility.

O’Shag just cost Robinson a TD. Robinson scored but it got called back due to a holding call on Shag.
