Denard Robinson will start in place of Yeldon. He struggled against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15, finishing with 41 yards on 14 carries and catching eight passes for 46 yards. Robinson will look to bounce back against a generous Saints defense.
Fantasy impact: Yeldon’s inactive status is a huge blow to fantasy owners in their championship week. He’s been solid all season and would have been facing one of the worst run defenses in the league. Robinson offers some consolation. He’ll be more of an RB2 with plenty of upside for the fantasy finals. The SB Nation fantasy staff has Robinson ranked as their 11th RB for Week 16. He’ll be in the RB1 conversation in PPR leagues.
