James Robinson Week 2 Outlook -
By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 15th 2022, 2:07pm EDT
Robinson was a pleasant surprise from Week 1. He soaked up 49% of the snaps with 12 touches, 69 total yards, and two scores, propelling him to RB11 for the week. Robinson split the red zone role down the middle with Etienne with two red zone carries and a target (Etienne had three red zone targets). He looked like Robinson of old with 4.18 yards after contact per attempt and three missed tackles forced on his 11 carries. The Colts' run defense is a problem, though. They looked like last year's stellar unit in Week 1, holding Rex Burkhead and Dameon Pierce to 2.9 yards per carry. In 2021 they allowed the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt and were 12th in red zone rushing defense. They ranked top 12 in second-level and open field yards.
