It's getting to crunch time in fantasy football, and many leagues are currently already into the second round of their fantasy playoffs this weekend. If you are in need of a strong running back plug and play option for this weekend, here are two running backs available in most leagues that are viable options at the running back position or the flex spot this week.
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Denard Robinson- Rookie running back T.J. Yeldon is officially listed as doubtful with a knee injury, and running back Denard Robinson is expected to take over the lead role behind quarterback Blake Bortles. Robinson is in his third season in Jacksonville, and he has made the most of his opportunities. The Jaguars running back is averaging 4.7 yards per carry but has only scored one touchdown this season. If Yeldon can't go Sunday, Robinson is a clear start at either the second running back position or flex spot this week. Robinson looks to be a strong start in PPR leagues, and he has caught eight passes for 68 yards this year. The Jaguars third-year running back is coming off a season-high 75 yard rushing game and is expected to be see a ton of touches Sunday with Yeldon likely out. The Jaguars face the Falcons on Sunday, and Atlanta is giving up 105.6 rushing yards to opponents per game this year.
