Jets Acquire James Robinson From Jaguars
2 years agoThe New York Jets are acquiring running back James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for undisclosed draft-pick compensation, according to sources. Impressive rookie running back Breece Hall (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 7 win over the Denver Broncos, so Robinson will help replace him in New York's backfield. The 24-year-old started the year with three straight games with a rushing touchdown, but he has since seen second-year back Travis Etienne Jr. take over. In New York, he'll be sharing the backfield with Michael Carter, who should still be a high waiver-wire priority heading into Week 8. Etienne's fantasy stock is now through the roof, while it remains to be see how the Jets will deploy Robinson in tandem with Carter.
