James Robinson was an absolute beast in 2020, especially considering he was a largely a waiver wire pickup and helped a lot of people win their fantasy leagues. But then, the Jags went and hired Urban Meyer, and drafted Trevor Lawrence, and also drafted Clemson RB Travis Ettienne in the first round, who profiles to fit the Meyer system a bit better than Robinson. At least, that's what drafting Ettienne in the first round tells us. Robinson may still see a bit of the ground work, but Ettienne's versatility will get him on the field quickly and it won't be long before he overtakes Robinson in the snap share. Robinson's ADP is far too high for a guy who's prime value is in the first eight weeks. Ettienne is raising on draft boards, so if you are taking him top-20 RB, just know that Robinson may frustrate you throughout the season with his presence. However, Ettienne is too talented to not make an impact and that translates to a healthy flex option at worst.
