Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson made his first start as a pro against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, catching seven receptions for 79 yards on 10 targets. The rookie from Penn State had four catches last week against Washington and has quickly risen up the depth chart.
Allen Robinson makes a splash in fantasy with 10 targets

The Jaguars did not have fellow rookie Marqise Lee in the lineup Sunday, which allowed Robinson to get the nod. Allen Hurns had a tremendous first half against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, but he's really fizzled out and only had one catch against the Colts -- it was a 63-yard touchdown, though.
The Jaguars were useless on offense in the first half and were shut out, but rookie Blake Bortles came to the rescue in the second half. Robinson has outplayed Lee and Hurns, so there's a good chance he'll be able to keep his job.
Fantasy impact: When you're the second option on the Jaguars, it's hard to get too excited. That said, Robinson has been heavily targeted and his arrow is pointing up. If you're in a 14-team PPR league, he's worth a look to help you while you deal with bye weeks. He'll get the San Diego Chargers in Week 4.
