The Jacksonville Jaguars have been the laughing stock of the NFL for much of the season and a lot of it had to do with their lack of a ground attack. With running back Toby Gerhart being useless, the Jaguars didn't have a single game with a back going over 100 yards until Week 7.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Denard Robinson
Denard Robinson has the starting running back job locked up. Should fantasy owners truth him this week?

That changed in their 24-6 win over the Cleveland Browns. Running back Denard Robinson exploded for 127 rushing yards and one score on his 22 carries. Backup Storm Johnson had just six carries for 16 yards, so it looks like Robinson has the starting job locked up.
This week, he gets another home game with the Miami Dolphins coming to town. The Dolphins rank 10th in rushing yards allowed per game, but they rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to fantasy running backs.
Fantasy impact: Obviously Robinson needs to be owned everywhere and he could emerge as an RB2, especially if quarterback Blake Bortles makes some strides. Although, fantasy owners should only consider him as an RB3 this week.
