Who Should I Start? Eric Gray or Keilan Robinson

Friday, August 9, 3:40 AM

Eric Gray showed the New York Giants that their investment in him is starting to pay dividends in Thursday's 14-3 win over the Detroit Lions. The second-year back had a breakout performance, totaling 98 yards from scrimmage and scoring twice. Gray's night was highlighted by a stunning 48-yard touchdown run that had echoes of his college days and reminded fantasy managers why the Giants took a flier on him in the fifth round last year. But it wasn't just the flashy run; Gray also showed versatility by adding 46 receiving yards on top of his 52 rushing yards, making him a dual-threat weapon. His second score, a gritty 1-yard plunge, sealed the victory and might have sealed his spot as a serious fantasy option moving forward. With Devin Singletary as the starter for now, Gray's emerging role could make him a sneaky pickup in deeper leagues, especially if the Giants look to lighten Singletary's workload.

The Jacksonville Jaguars activated running back Keilan Robinson (toe) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to JaguarsPR on X. The fifth-round rookie out of Texas has not made his NFL debut after suffering a toe injury in the preseason leading up to Week 1. Robinson spent his freshman year at Alabama before transferring to Texas for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons. However, he spent his career primarily backing up NFL running backs Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, and Jonathon Brooks. He ended his college career with 796 rushing yards, 332 receiving yards, 966 return yards, and 13 total touchdowns. Robinson has 4.42 speed and could see touches, but it would be a surprise if he entered the fantasy football radar in 12-plus team leagues this year.
