The Jacksonville Jaguars had it all figured out with running back Denard Robinson. However, Robinson suffered a season-ending leg injury and missed last week.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Toby Gerhart
Toby Gerhart might actually have a nice game on Thursday. Should fantasy owners consider him?

With Robinson out, Toby Gerhart had 15 touches for 63 yards against a decent Baltimore Ravens defense. This week, he'll get a much easier matchup against the Tennessee Titans. They are dead last in rushing yards allowed per game and are the third-easiest matchup for fantasy running backs. Plus, they are coming in cold, allowing a whopping 148.4 yards per game to backs over their last seven games. They've also allowed nine touchdowns in that span, too. They're bad.
Gerhart's competition for carries is going to be Jordan Todman, who had three carries last week. Chances are Gerhart should get 15 touches again and he could turn it into a nice game. The Jaguars probably want to run the ball and not air it out to keep their turnovers down.
Fantasy impact: He was such a bust earlier, so it's going to be very tough to start him. He's not a top-30 back this week, but he's an option if you've suddenly lost Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray (check for news on Murray before you set your lineup).
