These are top-tier numbers at the RB position for fantasy football and there's virtually no matchup where we should be concerned about playing the second-year RB moving forward. Additionally, he's set to add 48 receptions for 300 yards through the air as well. He is now on pace for 228 rush attempts, 1,315 rushing yards, and 13.6 touchdowns on the ground.
While there's room to have a conversation about what Robinson's ceiling could be for fantasy football if he didn't have Meyer as his head coach, it's still important to recognize what he's doing on the field. Instead, Robinson is pulled for Hyde and he has to watch the veteran RB fail to convert a crucial play. If Robinson is in on that play - Hyde lost several yards on the attempt, FYI - the Jaguars most likely cash in and make the game competitive. He said, "I don't micromanage who's in the game." While Robinson has been utterly fantastic for fantasy managers over the past few weeks, he's always going to have a cap on his fantasy ceiling with Meyer at the helm. 15 hours agoĭuring the postgame press conference after the Jaguars' week five loss to the Titans, Urban Meyer was asked about the decision to give Carlos Hyde the ball on a crucial 4th & 1 play near the goal-line rather than using Lawrence or Robinson. In this matchup against the Ravens, who are allowing the 7th-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season, Ekeler's a smash start. He's slowly worked his way up my rest-of-season rankings after each game and there's no reason why we should view him as anything less than a top-5 option for the remainder of the year. The receiving work is still there for the talented RB and he's getting valuable scoring opportunities each and every game with this newfound usage close to the end zone. All of last season - albeit in 10 games - Ekeler had just 18 red zone rush attempts when all was said and done. Up to this point of the season, Ekeler now ranks fourth in the NFL in red zone rush attempts with 18. In all seriousness, Ekeler was dominant in week five against the Browns and put up a whopping 30.4 Half PPR points. Near the end of the game last week, Ekeler was given a red zone carry and was simply trying to go down to keep the clock running, but the Browns defense (wisely) pulled him across the goal line and Ekeler's fantasy managers rejoiced. Ekeler is so good that he scores touchdowns even when he's not trying to.
