Denard Robinson, Toby Gerhart, Jordan Todman's Post-Week 9 Fantasy Reaction

R. Cory SmithNov 2, 2014

The Jacksonville Jaguars backfield rotation has shifted several times this season, but Denard Robinson now looks like the best option. Even with a healthy Jordan Todman and Toby Gerhart on the roster, it was Robinson who thrived against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.    

All three running backs were implemented into the game, but Shoelace was the clear lead back. Here's a look at the full statistics for the three-headed backfield:

For the third straight week, Robinson finished the afternoon with double-digit fantasy points for owners. He was held without a touchdown last week, but had over 100 total yards and a touchdown against the Bengals.

Field Yates of ESPN noted the remarkable production from Robinson during the last three starts:

Adam Caplan of ESPN also points out where Robinson has improved as a lead back:

Sharing touches in the backfield were Gerhart and Todman, who were held to less than 30 combined yards on the ground. However, Gerhart's three receptions for 49 yards gives him limited value in deep PPR leagues.

Robinson's fantasy stock remains high after his huge game against Cincinnati, but he faces a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. Ahead of the bye, Shoelace could prove he's here to stay with another solid performance against a stout defense.

The former Michigan quarterback still looks like the lone back to own in most fantasy leagues, and might even have RB2 value next week. Having potent options like Arian Foster and Alfred Morris on a bye in Week 10, leaning on Robinson looks like a decent plan.
