2023 Fantasy Outlook
Robinson had 263 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns in the first three games last year, which made for a triumphant return from the Achilles' tear he suffered Week 16 of 2021. But perhaps he returned a little too soon. After starting fast, Robinson produced just 113 yards over a four-week stretch before the Jaguars traded him to the Jets for a fifth-round pick. Robinson promptly appeared on the injury report with a knee injury after one week with the team, then suddenly seemed unable to run, producing just 90 yards and a score on 31 touches in four active games with the Jets while being inactive for six games. In March, the Patriots signed him to a two-year contract, but only $150,000 was guaranteed and they later released him in June. While he should get another chance elsewhere, it's not a great sign that the Patriots cut ties after seeing him practice for a couple weeks this spring. Read Past Outlooks

Gets reserve/future deal with NO
The Saints signed Robinson due to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson is a four-year veteran with 2,264 career regular-season rushing yards to his name, though nearly half of those came in his rookie season in 2020. An Achilles tear suffered in Week 16 of 2021 derailed his once-promising career, and the Illinois State product has played in only 12 games over the past two seasons, spending almost all of 2023 on Green Bay's practice squad. Robinson joined New Orleans' practice squad in mid-December, and the organization apparently liked what they saw from him enough to want to give him a shot at making the roster next year, though it remains to be seen how much Robinson has left in the tank.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Much like the Jaguars' season as a whole, Robinson's 2021 featured some wild swings of fortune, with infrequent highs and all too many lows. The team's decision to draft Travis Etienne late in the first round seemed to relegate the incumbent starter to a committee role, but then Etienne broke his foot in August and was lost for the year. After a sluggish performance out of
the gate, Robinson scored five TDs in four games Weeks 3-6 while averaging 97.0 rushing
yards per game, but after Jacksonville's bye, multiple lower-body injuries sapped his
effectiveness and his campaign finally ended for good due to a partial Achilles tear in Week 16.
It's not yet clear if he'll be ready to begin this season, but even if he is, a healthy Etienne figures to be prominently featured. Robinson runs with power and purpose, using his vision and agility to attack the defense, and he's shown he is an asset on passing downs as well. Etienne hasn't proven anything yet in the pros, but he has the advantage of being a high draft pick compared to Robinson's status as an undrafted free agent, not to mention the better health prognosis heading into training camp.
