8 Big-Name Players Who Could Disappoint in Week 10

Denard Robinson, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

"Shoelace" has just posted his third straight game of double-digit fantasy points. Why on earth would I recommend you sit Denard Robinson this week? Let's face the facts: he's a fairly average player physically, and is a former quarterback converted to the running back position. He's nothing special.

This is also a weak Jaguars' offensive line, and the team's Adjusted Rushing NEP is still just 23rd in the league. This offense is not one that has much fantasy value to give to anyone, and Robinson himself is not likely to sustain this level of production much longer, considering that the three teams he's excelled against are two middle-of-the-road run defenses in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP (Cleveland, Miami) and the absolute worst run defense in the league right now (Cincinnati).

This recommendation has less to do with Dallas being a tough matchup than it does not getting caught up in believing in the Jacksonville offense. The Cowboys have let up an 18 fantasy point week and a 26 fantasy point week to opposing running backs in the last two (Washington and Arizona), but I expect them to staunch the bleeding here. "I know Andre Ellington, sir, and Denard Robinson is no Andre Ellington...or Alfred Morris."
