Henry comes up huge in Week 4


The fantasy season continues to be a bit of a strange one. Who would have thought teams like the Commanders, Bucs and Vikings would be leading their divisions after four games. If the season ended today, Sam Darnold might be the MVP of the league. It just goes to show you that it is never easy to predict the NFL. Things change so much from season to season. This is why fantasy is so tough. If things were easy to predict, fantasy would be so much easier! Here is to hoping you got some of these surprise players on your team this year.

Cowboys 20, Giants 15

Fantasy Stud: CeeDee Lamb. The Cowboys made it a point to get Lamb involved early and often. He responded with his best game of the season, catching seven passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. Lamb topped 20 fantasy points for the first time this season. He isn’t having the season most expected after four games but has plenty of time to get it going.

E
Fantasy Dud: Devin Singletary. The Cowboys had all sorts of issues stopping the run the first three games, so there were some high hopes for Singletary. He got his chances but didn’t find any room to run, rushing 14 times for just 24 yards. He scored a season-low 4.8 fantasy points. Singletary had touchdowns two straight games before this dud of a showing.

Game Notes: Malik Nabers was forced from the game late because of a concussion but had a monster game before getting hurt. Nabers had 12 receptions for 115 yards.

Wan’Dale Robinson was heavily involved in the offense for the first time this season. Robinson caught 11 passes for 71 yards. Robinson has three games with double-digit fantasy points.

Bears 24, Rams 18

Fantasy Stud: D’Andre Swift. Swift finally had a big game for the Bears. He looked great int his one, rushing 16 times for 93 yards and a touchdown. He also led the team in receiving, finishing with seven receptions for 72 yards. Swift had 164 total yards. Swift had more yards in this game than he did his previous three. Hopefully, this game gets him going for the rest of the season

Fantasy Dud: Rome Odunze. Odunze had just a catch for 10 yards. He was coming off a 100-yard performance, so hopes were high for Odunze this week. But the return of Keenan Allen seemed to cut down on the looks for Odunze. He could be hit or miss his rookie season as long as all the Bears receivers are healthy.

Game Notes: Kyren Williams found the end zone once again, giving him six total touchdowns on the season. He ran 19 times for 94 yards and a touchdown.

Keenan Allen returned from his heel injury and had three receptions for 19 yards. He didn’t do a whole lot but looked healthy and made some plays.

Bucs 33, Eagles 16

Fantasy Stud: Mike Evans. Evans got going once again, catching eight passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. This was the first time he found the end zone since the opener. He also had fewer than eight fantasy points two straight before this 23.4-point showing. Evans was targeted a season-high 14 times in the game

Fantasy Dud: Jalen Hurts. Hurts was not much of help to fantasy teams, scoring fewer than 20 fantasy points. He managed just 18.9 fantasy points and threw for just 158 yards. It was almost an expected showing, though, with the Eagles missing their top two receivers.

Game Notes: Baker Mayfield scored three touchdowns. He was 30-of-47 for 347 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran in a score, rushing four times for 10 yards.

Dallas Goedert was the focal point of the Eagles passing game. He had seven receptions for 62 yards. He has 17 receptions his last two games.

Colts 27, Steelers 24

Fantasy Stud: Justin Fields. His team didn’t win but Huge had a monster game for fantasy owners. He threw for 313 yards and a touchdown. He also ran 10 times for 55 yards and two more scores, giving him three total touchdowns. Fields scored 36.1 fantasy points. He has two straight games with 21-plus fantasy points

Fantasy Dud: Najee Harris. Harris got most of the work at running back but had no room to run. He had 13 carries for just 18 yards. His only positive was his work in the passing game, catching three passes for 54 yards. It just wasn’t a good fantasy day overall for Harris, though, especially with his big workload.  

Game Notes: Both Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor were injured in this game. Richardson hurt his hip and was forced to leave. Taylor was hurt late, leaving with an ankle injury.

Michael Pittman finally showed some life. He had six receptions for 113 yards. Pittman did not have more than 31 yards in a game before this showing.

Texans 24, Jaguars 20

Fantasy Stud: Nico Collins. Collins had 12 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown, leading many fantasy teams to wins. He scored a season-high 33.1 fantasy points. He has 25-plus fantasy points two of four games and at least 12 fantasy points every game. Collins is an elite No. 1 fantasy receiver

Fantasy Dud: Travis Etienne. Etienne took a backseat to Tank Bigsby often in this game. He was outplayed by Bigsby as well. Etienne had 11 carries for 50 yards and a catch for 10 yards. Bigsby had four fewer carries but ran seven times for 90 yards, averaging 12.9 yards per carry. You have to wonder a little if Bigsby starts getting more playing time going forward. Etienne did hurt his shoulder in this game and left for a bit but was able to return. We don’t think it was a factor in Bigsby getting more work.

Game Notes: C.J. Stroud had his first 300-yard passing game of the season. He was 27-of-40 for 345 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover.

Christian Kirk had his second straight game with at least seven receptions. He had seven receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.

Bengals 34, Panthers 24

Fantasy Stud: Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard is really coming alive in the Panthers offense. He ran 18 times for 104 yards and a touchdown. Hubbard also had four receptions for 17 yards. He has two straight 100-yard rushing games. Hubbard has 22-plus fantasy points each of those two games

Fantasy Dud: Mike Gesicki. Gesicki caught just a pass, which went for a negative gain. He scored just a point in the game. He was starting to get some play from fantasy owners because of his recent play but laid an egg in this one. He had at least three receptions every game before this showing.  

Game Notes: Diontae Johnson looks like a different player with Andy Dalton as his starting quarterback. Johnson had seven receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown. Johnson has 15 receptions on 27 targets his last two games.

Chase Brown and Zack Moss both had 15 carries in the game and each found the end zone. Brown ran 15 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns. Moss ran 15 times for 51 yards, but had four receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown.

Falcons 26, Saints 24

Fantasy Stud: Alvin Kamara. Kamara carried the offense once again for the Saints this week. He had 19 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown. Kamara also had seven receptions for 42 yards, giving him 119 total yards. Kamara scored 24.9 fantasy points. He has 22-plus fantasy points three of four games.  

Fantasy Dud: Kyle Pitts. Pitts continues to disappoint, going without a catch in this game. He was targeted three times. Pitts has fewer than double-digit fantasy points three straight games. It is looking like a new coaching staff will not make Pitts a fantasy star like most hoped.

Game Notes: Taysom Hill had two rushing touchdowns, running six times for 24 yards. Unfortunately, he had to leave the game early because of abdomen injury.

Bijan Robinson had one fewer carry than backup Tyler Allgeier. Robinson ran seven times for just 28 yards while Allgeier had eight carries for 60 yards.

Broncos 10, Jets 9

Fantasy Stud: Courtland Sutton. There was next to no offense in this game, but Sutton was a bright spot. He accounted for all 60 of the Broncos passing yards. Sutton had three receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown. Sutton scored a season-best 15 fantasy points. He has two straight double-digit fantasy point games

Fantasy Dud: Breece Hall. Hall had a game to forget, rushing 10 times for just four yards. He also had just two receptions for 14 yards. You just didn’t expect this game from Hall, who had at least 18 fantasy points every game. He scored just 3.8 fantasy points in this one. Not good.

Game Notes: Mike Williams led the Jets in receiving yards, playing his most football of the season as he returns from his torn ACL. Williams had four receptions for 67 yards.

Javonte Williams finally topped 30-rushing yards in a game. He had a good showing, rushing 16 times for 77 yards.

Vikings 31, Packers 29

Fantasy Stud: Jayden Reed. Reed had his second 100-yard game of the season. He had seven receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Reed has double-digit fantasy points three of four games and topped 20 fantasy points two of those games. He is the top receiver in this Packers passing game. 

Fantasy Dud: Josh Jacobs. Jacobs had another ho-hum game for fantasy owners. He ran nine times for 51 yards and caught four passes for 27 yards. He just hasn’t been able to get going with his new team. Jacobs has fewer than 55-rushing yards two straight games.

Game Notes: Jordan Love turned the ball over too much but looked good in his first game back from his sprained knee. He was 32-of-54 for 389 yards and four touchdowns with three interceptions.

Jordan Addison returned from his ankle injury and found the end zone twice. He had three receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown. Addison also had a carry for a seven-yard touchdown.

Commanders 42, Cardinals 14

Fantasy Stud: Brian Robinson. Robinson hit the 100-yard mark for the second time in three games. He ran 21 times for 101 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three passes for 12 yards, finishing with 20.3 fantasy points. He has at least 14 fantasy points three of four games, posting consistent weekly numbers

Fantasy Dud: Kyler Murray. Murray had a disappointing showing in what looked like a prime matchup for him. He was 16-of-22 for just 142 yards and a touchdown. And he ran once of just three yards. Murray scored a season-low 11.4 fantasy points. He has few than 18 fantasy points three of four games, being more bad than good for fantasy teams through four games.

Game Notes: Jeremey McNichols filled the Austin Ekeler role this week and scored two touchdowns. He ran eight times for 68 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a pass for six yards.

Marvin Harrison Jr. found the end zone for the third straight game. He had five receptions for 45 yards and a score on six targets.

49ers 30, Patriots 13

Fantasy Stud: Jordan Mason. Mason had another big game in a starting role for the 49ers. He hit the 100-yard mark for the third time this year, rushing 24 times for 123 yards and a touchdown. Mason also caught two passes for 37 yards, giving him 150 total yards. Mason is an elite fantasy back as long as he is starting in this offense.

Fantasy Dud: Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk had two receptions for 48 yards. Aiyuk is a tough start right now for fantasy teams. He is yet to hit 50 yards or double-digit fantasy points in any game this year. You just expected much better from Aiyuk, who posted big numbers last year for the 49ers.

Game Notes: Deebo Samuel returned from a hamstring injury and looked good. He had three receptions for 58 yards and ran two times for 14 yards.

Despite the returns for Samuel and George Kittle this week, Jauan Jennings led the 49ers in receiving yards once again. He had three receptions for 88 yards on six targets.

Raiders 20, Browns 16

Fantasy Stud: Browns defense. The Browns lost the game but the defense played great once again. This unit held the Raiders to 20 points and 268 total yards of offense. Cleveland returned a fumble for a touchdown, accounting for one of their two touchdowns. The Browns also had a couple sacks in the game, leading to double-digit fantasy points in most formats

Fantasy Dud: Amari Cooper. Cooper had a long touchdown called back because of a hold. He would finished with good numbers if not for that penalty. He ended up with four receptions for 35 yards. Cooper scored just 7.5 fantasy points after having 27.6 the previous game. He is a hard player to trust in this offense right now.

Game Notes: Zamir White had 17 carries for just 50 yards and lost a fumble. Backup Alexander Mattison got a lot less work but produced better, rushing five times for 60 yards.

Tre Tucker found the end zone for the second straight game. He had five receptions for 41 yards and ran once for a three-yard touchdown.

Chiefs 17, Chargers 10

Fantasy Stud: Travis Kelce. Kelce finally had a big game. He finished with seven receptions for 89 yards on nine targets. He scored 15.9 fantasy points, hitting double-digit fantasy points for the first time all season. Maybe this is the game that gets him going.
   
Fantasy Dud: Quentin Johnston. There were a lot of dud performances in this one, but Johnston will earn the honor. He had scores two straight games and multiple receptions every game before this terrible showing. Johnston managed just a catch for nine yards on five targets. He has been a boom or bust weekly play in this run-heavy offense.

Game Notes: Rashee Rice suffered a knee injury early in the game and was unable to return. Early reports are he suffered a torn ACL, leaving a huge hole at receiver for the Chiefs.

Kareem Hunt was the workhorse back for the Chiefs this week. He had 14 carries for 69 yards. Hunt also caught two passes for 16 yards, giving him 85 total yards. Hunt could be the lead back going forward while Isaiah Pacheco is out.

Ravens 35, Bills 10

Fantasy Stud: Derrick Henry. Henry showed his huge value to the offense this one, rushing 24 times for 199 yards and a touchdown. Henry also had three receptions for 10 yards and another touchdown. Henry scored 35.9 fantasy points, topping 30 points two straight games. Henry has touchdowns every game this season.   

Fantasy Dud: Josh Allen. Allen had a really poor showing for his standards, especially if you consider how much the Ravens defense had struggled against the pass. Allen was held in check, throwing for 180 yards without a touchdown or an interception. He ran for just 21 yards and lost a fumble, scoring just 10.1 fantasy points. You just expect much better from Allen, even in a tough matchup on the road.

Game Notes: Lamar Jackson played a great game, scoring three total touchdowns. He was 13-of-18 for 156 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. He also rushed six times for 54 yards and another touchdown.

Mark Andrews went without a reception for a second straight games. He was targeted just one time. He has six receptions for 65 yards on nine targets for the season.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 9

Player Notes
Justin Herbert Nov 3 6:20pm ET
Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played well in a 27-10 Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Herbert attempted 27 passes, completing 18 of them for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He added two yards on the ground on three recorded carries while taking six sacks, losing 36 yards. Herbert's first touchdown was a 28-yard pass to Joshua Palmer in the first quarter, and he followed it up with a 66-yard pass to Quentin Johnston in the second. Herbert didn't need to do much in the second half as the Chargers just chewed lock and nursed their lead. He could have had a bigger game, but the Bolts defense held the Browns to just three points until the last drive of the game. Herbert and the Chargers will take on the Titans in Week 10.

Lamar Jackson Nov 3 6:20pm ET
Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is now tied for the most games with a perfect passer rating (4) in NFL history. The only other QB with four is AFC North rival Ben Roethlisberger. In the 41-10 win over the Denver Broncos, Jackson posted 280 yards and three touchdowns while throwing 16-for-19 and adding four yards on three carries. He's considered the front-runner for his third MVP by most outlets and Jackson remains atop the position in fantasy as well. He'll go up against the Cincinnati Bengals again in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football.

Tyreek Hill Nov 3 6:10pm ET
Tyreek Hill

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught four out of five targets for 80 yards in Miami's 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The offense made it clear early that their mission was to establish the run against a vulnerable defensive line for the Bills. Hill would've had a much better day if Tua Tagovailoa had hit him in stride on a deep ball he severely underthrew, which may have ended in a touchdown. Contrary to the defense's poor performance, the offense gave a great showing. Nonetheless, Hill made the most of the limited number of targets he received. At (2-6), Miami will be desperate for wins for the rest of the season, which should equal more targets for the speedster. The 30-year-old looks to have more looks next week when the Dolphins travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.

Jaylen Waddle Nov 3 6:10pm ET
Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) caught both his two targets for minus-four yards and a receiving touchdown in their 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Other than the touchdown, Waddle was relatively quiet during the day. His second reception came on the game's last play, where Miami lateraled, and he ran close to 25 yards backwards. He left the game briefly with an ankle injury but soon re-entered the game with no further issues. The lack of targets came from the offense electing to establish the run and expose Buffalo's weakness of stopping the run. Still, this season has not been what fantasy managers have hoped for from the 25-year-old after three straight 1,000-yard campaigns. With Miami falling to 2-6 and the schedule looking a bit easier in the next couple of weeks, Waddle has the potential to break out. Next week, a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams could be a shootout.

A.J. Brown Nov 3 6:10pm ET
A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars. The wideout was back on the field with his team for the start of the second half. But, it didn't take long before he was shown jogging back to the locker room. It's unknown how or when the injury occurred. But if Brown doesn't return, he'll finish with two receptions for 36 yards, with DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and Grant Calcaterra potentially in line to see more attention from Jalen Hurts for the rest of Week 9.

From RotoBaller

Derrick Henry Nov 3 6:10pm ET
Derrick Henry

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry extended his scoring streak to nine games and scored his 100th career rushing touchdown while he dominated the Denver Broncos in a 41-10 win on Sunday. The King ended the game with 106 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries and even added one reception for 27 yards. Henry extended his lead as the RB1 even further and is the first running back to 1,000 yards this season. He's on pace to break his yard mark for all of last season by their next game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football.

From RotoBaller

Puka Nacua Nov 3 6:10pm ET
Puka Nacua

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday's meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The wideout wasn't a lock to play after re-aggravating his knee injury. While he was on the field, he didn't last long before getting disqualified for punching Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant near the end of the second quarter. Nacua will finish this one with only one catch (four targets) for 11 yards, leaving room for Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Demarcus Robinson, and Tutu Atwell to get more involved on the receiving end for the rest of the contest.

From RotoBaller

Tua Tagovailoa Nov 3 6:00pm ET
Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns in their 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. It was a second straight outing where the offense looked much improved from weeks prior. The Miami rushing attack created a lot of open space in the secondary for Tagovailoa to create chunk plays. In their previous meeting with Buffalo back in Week 2, Tagovailoa threw three interceptions. It was encouraging to see no turnovers from him against an excellent defense. This also marks back-to-back games where the former Alabama Crimson Tide finished with no turnovers, and the offense scored 27 points. With Miami now sitting at (2-6), they're more desperate than ever to get wins. Look for Tagovailoa to air the ball out next week when they travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams in a game that could be a shootout.

J.K. Dobbins Nov 3 5:50pm ET
J.K. Dobbins

The Cleveland Browns defense allowed 27 points while notching six sacks in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. While Cleveland's pass rush was a problem for the Chargers, they struggled to contain the running game as J.K. Dobbins ripped off 85 yards and two touchdowns in the lopsided loss. The Browns were led by Myles Garrett, who had three sacks, and Dalvin Tomlinson, who had 1.5 sacks. Cleveland will be on bye in Week 10 before a road matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Nov 3 5:50pm ET
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had five receptions (six targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old also found the end zone in this one, extending his streak to four consecutive games with a touchdown. With DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City, there is room for others to step up on the receiving end behind Calvin Ridley. While Westbrook-Ikhine will eventually cool off, fantasy managers can continue to start him in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

From RotoBaller

Jerry Jeudy Nov 3 5:40pm ET
Jerry Jeudy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught seven of his 11 targets for 73 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Jeudy wound up leading the Browns in catches while finishing second in targets and yardage in the lopsided loss to the Chargers. The veteran receiver has been productive in his two games with Jameis Winston under center, posting 12 catches for 152 yards over that span. Jeudy's arrow in fantasy is pointing up with him heading into his bye in Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Elijah Moore Nov 3 5:40pm ET
Elijah Moore

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his nine targets for 28 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Moore failed to repeat his big outing in Week 8, although his nine targets were encouraging as he has now drawn 21 looks from Jameis Winston over the past two weeks. The veteran wideout will be on bye in Week 10 before he takes on the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Calvin Ridley Nov 3 5:40pm ET
Calvin Ridley

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five of his eight targets for 73 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots. With the Titans dealing DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs, Ridley had 10 receptions for 143 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions. While the 29-year-old wasn't as productive in Week 9, he still did enough to lead the way on the receiving end. With 15 grabs in the last two weeks, Ridley remains a must-start in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the wideout's outlook may not be as favorable if Will Levis (shoulder) returns to the lineup and Mason Rudolph heads back to the bench.

From RotoBaller

Julius Chestnut Nov 3 5:40pm ET
Julius Chestnut

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut gained waiver attention heading into Sunday's overtime win over the New England Patriots. However, with Tony Pollard (foot) available, Chestnut wasn't very involved, finishing the day with only 22 yards off five carries. As long as Tyjae Spears (hamstring) stays on the shelf, Chestnut should remain the No. 2 option on the depth chart. Still, he won't see enough action to warrant fantasy consideration as long as Pollard is on the field. This will remain true for the Titans Week 10 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers.

From RotoBaller

David Njoku Nov 3 5:40pm ET
David Njoku

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught five of his seven targets for 29 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Njoku was quiet in the lopsided loss just a week after going for 61 yards and a touchdown. That being said, Njoku has now drawn 28 targets over his past three games and should continue to return solid TE1 numbers with Jameis Winston under center. The Browns are on bye in Week 10 before they take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Dustin Hopkins Nov 3 5:40pm ET
Dustin Hopkins

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made one of his two field goals and added an extra point in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Hopkins drilled a 38-yarder in the contest but had a 51-yard attempt blocked by the Chargers in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker has now made 14 of his 18 field-goal attempts and 10 of his 11 extra points through nine games this season. He will be on bye in Week 10 before heading on the road to face the New Orleans Saints.

From RotoBaller

Nick Chubb Nov 3 5:30pm ET
Nick Chubb

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 15 times for 39 yards and lost four yards on his lone reception in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Chubb was quiet on an afternoon where the Browns fell behind early and had to pass the ball 46 times in comeback mode. The veteran tailback has struggled in his three games this season, posting just 113 yards and one touchdown on 42 carries. Settling in as an RB3 in fantasy, Chubb will be on bye in Week 10 before heading on the road to face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Jerome Ford Nov 3 5:30pm ET
Jerome Ford

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball twice for five yards while catching one of his three targets for two yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Ford returned to the field after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury but was hardly used as Nick Chubb dominated the backfield work with 15 carries. Ford was an early-season value in fantasy but his lack of usage in the passing game in Week 9's lopsided loss is concerning as he operates as the team's third-down back when Chubb is active. He does not need to remain rostered in redraft leagues heading into a Week 10 bye.

From RotoBaller

Bijan Robinson Nov 3 5:30pm ET
Bijan Robinson

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 19 times for 86 yards and led his team in receptions for the second straight week after reeling in seven passes for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-21 victory over the Cowboys. The only thing missing was a touchdown, which was vultured by fellow back Tyler Allgeier who had just six carries on the day for 18 yards. The 22-year-old now has four consecutive games with over 100 total yards rushing and receiving, hovering right around the top five RBs for fantasy through the season's first nine weeks. Robinson's Week 10 opponent, the New Orleans Saints, just allowed two rushing touchdowns to Carolina's Chuba Hubbard on Sunday, totaling 10 rushing scores allowed on the season by New Orleans, which is tied for fourth-most in the NFL. With his continued involvement in the passing game, now with the second-most receptions (38) behind only Alvin Kamara (46), Robinson has a high weekly floor and is looking like an RB1 again next Sunday.
